Custom production of machine-made bags with twisted handles

Machine-made paper bags are a very common type of shopping bag or an affordable option for gift bags. We have the technology to produce both bags with flat handles – which are currently the closest substitute for plastic bags – and machines for producing bags with twisted handles.

We assess each enquiry individually, taking into account requirements regarding print run, the complexity of the print, the type of material, the handle design and the intended use. Our production capacity allows for monthly deliveries of up to millions of units.
