Paper Bags for Bookstores and Libraries


Don’t you love the textured feel of paper, the sweet and musty fragrance of yellowing pages or the keen smell of a new volume? Neat print, shelves full of stories, rows of pictures and information. Ink and plastic, wood and fabric. Libraries, bookshops and bookstores are lovely places to be…especially sipping a steaming coffee while you read!

Packaging in these stores is an important part of creating the best experience for customers. So, choose bags that complement your store atmosphere.

Popular Bags for Bookstores

Many people appreciate the experience of walking into a brick and mortar shop to find a good book. And the customary book bag is one of the pleasant experiences. A bookshop is a sensory kind of store, its not just the info inside but also the look and feel of a book that secures a purchase. Second-hand bookshops with their beautiful weathered wares choose brown kraft paper bags to fit in with their browns and soft, faded colours. Children’s books and gifts stores are bright and lively places full of pictures, where a brilliant heavyweight plastic bag with die-cut handles would work well. Kraft white bags with twisted paper handles are made of excellent quality paper for colouring in - a great activity for your kids book club or library story-time!
