Wholesale Paper Bags for Retail, Food & Takeaway in the UK

Paper bags are now one of the most popular wholesale alternatives to plastic carrier bags in the UK, driven by environmental regulations and the demand for sustainable retail and takeaway packaging. Made from renewable paper such as kraft, these carrier bags are recyclable, biodegradable and ideal for supermarkets, fashion stores, gift shops, bakeries and takeaway food outlets that want eco‑friendly packaging without compromising on strength or presentation.​

Eco-Friendly Paper Carrier Bags in Bulk

The shift from plastic to paper has accelerated since the carrier bag charge, with more UK businesses choosing bulk paper carrier bags as a greener, customer‑friendly option. Wholesale paper bags help retailers and food businesses reduce single‑use plastic, support a circular economy and promote a more sustainable brand image, especially when bags are reused and responsibly recycled by customers.​

Flat Handle, Twisted Handle and SOS Paper Bags

Paper bags in this range are available in popular wholesale styles, including flat handle, twisted handle and open‑top SOS bags suitable for groceries, clothing, gifts and takeaway food. From standard brown and white kraft to more premium carrier styles, these paper bags are designed for everyday retail use, foodservice applications and branded packaging projects at trade volumes.​

Strong, Reusable and Recyclable Packaging

Although lighter than many reusable bags, modern kraft paper bags are engineered for strength, with reinforced bases and sturdy handles that can comfortably carry clothing, food boxes and small grocery items. When reused multiple times and then recycled, wholesale paper bags offer an effective balance between functionality, environmental performance and cost for UK businesses of all sizes.​
