How to Choose Wholesale Merchandise Bags

The counter bag every store needs. Merchandise bags are flat paper bags without handles, made for the small purchases that do not need a shopping bag: jewelry, greeting cards, books, cosmetics, pharmacy items, and gift shop finds. They dispense quickly at the register and cost a fraction of a handled bag.

Two formats, six sizes. Flat merchandise bags come in 6 1/4" x 9 1/4", 8 1/2" x 11", and 12" x 15", packed 1,000 per case. Gusseted sizes add depth for bulkier items: 12" x 3" x 18", 14" x 3" x 21", and 17" x 4" x 24", packed 500 per case. Most counters run one small flat size and one gusseted size.

Kraft, white, or color. Natural kraft gives the warm, recycled look. White kraft prints and stamps cleanly for stores that brand their bags. The color collection matches bag color to your brand palette without custom printing.

Buying merchandise bags wholesale. Sold by the case at 500 or 1,000 bags, they are the lowest cost-per-customer packaging in the store. Step up to paper shopping bags for handled purchases, browse all wholesale shopping bags, or plan the full counter program with the Retail Packaging Guide.
