The Packaging Source carries a complete selection of wholesale paper shopping bags for retail stores, boutiques, gift shops, and specialty retailers. Our paper bag collection includes natural kraft, white kraft, black tint, kraft tints, Brooklyn foldover bags, midtown turn top bags, and wide gusset styles — available in sizes ranging from small pup bags to jumbo. Each style is sold by the case at competitive wholesale pricing with mini pack options available for stores that want to sample a size before committing to a full case.
Start with the paper. Natural kraft is the classic brown retail bag: unbleached, sturdy, and at home in gift shops, boutiques, and farmers markets. White kraft gives a brighter canvas that makes tissue paper and ribbon colors pop. Tinted lines such as black tint and the Coastal Vibes and Mountain Vibes collections add color while keeping the kraft texture underneath.
Then pick the handle and construction. Twisted paper handles are the retail standard across our natural kraft and white kraft bags. Brooklyn shopping bags upgrade to a foldover top with twill handles for a more finished, boutique look, and Midtown turn top bags fold the top edge for a clean line without a separate cuff. For boxed merchandise and multi-item purchases, wide gusset bags open to a nearly square base such as 12" x 10" x 12".
Match sizes to your merchandise. Small bags around 5" x 3" x 8" and 8" x 4.75" x 10.5" fit jewelry, cosmetics, and small gifts. Mid sizes such as 10" x 5" x 13" and 13" x 7" x 12" handle apparel and everyday purchases. Large bags up to 16" x 6" x 19" carry oversized and multiple items. Most stores cover their counter with one small, one medium, and one large. The Bag Size Guide lists every dimension side by side.
Buying paper bags wholesale. Paper shopping bags are sold by the case, most sizes at 200 or 250 bags per case, and many popular styles come in 100-bag mini packs so you can trial a color or size before stocking full cases. Browse the full wholesale shopping bags collection, step up to euro tote bags for premium presentation, or see the Retail Packaging Guide for planning a complete bag, tissue, and ribbon program.
Our most popular paper shopping bag sizes include the Pup (5" x 3" x 8"), Cub (8" x 5" x 10"), Vogue (16" x 6" x 12"), and Jumbo sizes. Each size is sold by the case at wholesale pricing, and many are available in mini pack quantities for smaller orders.
Natural kraft shopping bags have a warm brown color made from unbleached kraft paper, giving them a natural, eco-friendly appearance. White kraft shopping bags are made from bleached kraft paper for a clean, bright look. Both feature twisted paper handles and the same sturdy construction — the choice comes down to your store's branding preference.
