How to choose a paper bag size
Measure the item first
Check the width, depth and height of your food box, cup carrier or retail product before choosing a bag.
Allow room at the top
Leave enough space so the bag closes or carries comfortably without crushing the order.
Match handle style
Flat handles are practical for many orders. Twisted handles can feel more premium for heavier or gift-style packaging.
