Shopping Bags

Euro-Tote

A sophisticated shopping bag with a highly finished look. Quality paper with a folded turn top and rope or fabric handles. Requires hand finishing.

Slit Top or J Slit

An upscale look for a paper shopper, with folded turn top in which a traditional paper twist or fabric handle is inserted into a slit opening in the turn top. Requires hand finishing.

Paper Twist Shopper

Serrated top paper bag made using automatic high-speed equipment with paper twist handles applied automatically.

Boat Bag

A new concept paper shopping bag without side gussets made with paper twist handles on automated equipment. A good option for soft goods.

Reusable Bags

Available in a variety of styles, these bags are cut and sewn using natural (canvas, cotton, jute, bamboo, etc.) or synthetic (sometimes laminated) fibers that can be made with a high content of recycled plastic bottles.

Flat handle paper bag

A paper sack with a flat-glued, unreinforced handle, like those typically found in supermarkets.

Boxes

All boxes (with some limitations to the Beers style box) can be laminated, embossed, or hot stamped for a premium branded feel.

Magnetic Box

Sophisticated, with look and feel of two-piece setup box but ships and stores flat in one piece. Highly customizable. Often reused in the home for storage.

Rigid Setup Box

Rigid top and bottom two-piece box. Small sizes come cotton filled for jewelry. Larger sizes protect fragile items. Typically stored in the back room due to bulk.

Simplex Box

Space-saving two-piece box that, when assembled, has characteristics of a rigid setup box. Luxury choice when customized.

Two-piece/Beers Style Box

A cost-effective apparel box, packed flat with an interchangeable top and bottom. Like all other boxes, can be printed, hot stamped and embossed. Limited reuse.

One-piece Flat Apparel Box

Easy to assemble, lightweight box superior to a shopping bag for bulkier soft items, such as sweaters and robes. Available with optional handle for customer convenience.

Two-piece Lock Corner Box

Traditional package for durable goods that require a deeper box, such as china or glassware. Has side tabs on top and bottom to allow for rigid construction when assembled.

Pillow Pack

Unique alternative to apparel boxes. The box forms a pouch-like shape upon folding down the curved sides of the box. A fun gift package.
