There are several different types of kraft paper bags:
1. Flat - Bottomed Kraft Paper Bags
• These are one of the most common types. The flat bottom provides stability, allowing the bag to stand upright on its own. They are often used for packaging products like groceries, small hardware items, or baked goods. The flat bottom can hold a certain amount of weight without tipping over easily.
2. Gusseted Kraft Paper Bags
• Gussets are folds or pleats on the sides of the bag. Gusseted kraft paper bags can expand in width when filled, increasing their capacity. They are great for carrying bulkier items such as clothing, toys, or larger quantities of food. The gussets allow the bag to adapt to the shape and volume of the contents.
• These bags have a built - in structure that enables them to stand on their own without support. The addition of handles makes them convenient for carrying. They are often used in retail stores for products that customers may want to pick up and carry around easily, like small gifts, cosmetics, or take - out food.
4. Kraft Paper Gift Bags
• Designed specifically for gift - giving. They usually come in various sizes, colors (although the natural brown kraft color is also popular for a rustic look), and may have decorative elements such as ribbons, bows, or printed patterns. They can be used for wrapping small to medium - sized gifts like jewelry, books, or small home decor items.
5. Kraft Paper Tote Bags
• Larger in size and more durable compared to some of the other types. They are often used as reusable shopping bags. They can be plain or printed with logos or designs, and are a popular choice for those who prefer an eco - friendly alternative to plastic bags.
