Most people would say that paper bags are better than plastic, but have you ever stopped to consider why? One thought on the subject brings a surprisingly simple answer. We as human beings respond more favourably to the natural environment around us, and to those things which are made directly from it. Though we are surrounded by synthetic products every day, we love to see a tree swaying in the breeze and a cow munching on some grass. The history of paper itself is about trees that were used to make the paper, with a visible and tangible connection between the source and the end use of the product. We like timber furniture, leather shoes, wool and cotton garments for the same reason, and we like them to last. The first aspect to this observation, is that the source is renewable. Plants and animals grow and reproduce, so the source of the products that we use from them can be made available to following generations. Our link to nature itself and the cycle of life draws our choice

Brown paper carry bags are an important part of many retail, corporate and event routines. So often there are an array of items to put together for people to take away with them, and Bag Mart has been supplying such events and points of sale with high quality brown bags for over 10 years. The important features of a good quality paper carry bag is overall strength & function. This is a combination of paper thickness and density, gluing of seams and the handle design and type. Shape proportions also have much to do with how the factors work for a strong bag. All Bag Mart brown paper carry bags are made from water treated 110gsm kraft paper. Water treatment is important because the paper surfaces do not flare with the glue application. This fully glued process along the entire length of the seams, to a treated brown paper, is a vital component of the bag strength. Paper Twist Handle designs are fully glued too with a large patch, making for a very strong connection to the bag where

Having sold these brown paper bags with handles for over 10 years, we can safely say they are the most popular bags we sell. Strong, versatile, economical and recyclable, they are a great range of bags that suit so many purposes. Here's some reasons why these brown paper bags are so good. The brown kraft paper is water treated, which gives a nice smooth, crisp finish to the bags without a fluffy or fury feel. The kraft brown paper used is a tough 110gsm, not the cheap 80gsm that falls apart. The seams are fully glued in both sides and base, so there are no gaps to present weak points where the bags will start to rip open, very important! The paper twist handles are made from multi-strand kraft brown paper twisted together, and are fully glued to the bag underneath a reinforcement patch that is also fully glued to the side of the bag, all the way across the width. The deluxe black rope handle versions feature a top fold with added insert, making for a triple layer of support for the

The glued seams are a good feature that ensure they are tough and won't fall apart easily. Economy is another feature of the supermarket grocery paper bags.
