Paper bag sizes

The sizes our dies already run, in millimetres with inches alongside. Anything outside them is built to your measurement.

Paper bag sizes

How a bag is measured

Width × gusset × height, in millimetres, in that order. Width is the front panel, gusset is the depth at the side, height runs from the base to just below the handles. Every quote we give uses that order.

To work out your size, measure the product, add a little for a hand going in, and tell us the weight. If several products go in one bag, say how many.

Luxury bags: kraft, laminated and un-laminated

The standard range our luxury bags run in. Any other size is made to your measurement. See the bag

Questions

Before you order

+ What if my size is not listed?
The die is built for your measurement instead. It is not necessarily more expensive - a bag that fits uses less board than an oversized stock one.
+ Why millimetres and not inches?
Because that is how UK print and board are specified. Inches are shown alongside for anyone working from an American spec.
+ Can you match a bag I already use?
Send a photograph with a ruler beside it, or post us the bag, and we will measure it.
