Kraft paper bags are the last thing customers carry out the door - and the first thing their colleagues see. For cafes, a kraft paper bag in the right size, with a clean logo, quietly finishes the brand the cups started. Here is how to choose sizes, handles and print for a bag that actually fits the order.
Bags that are too big crease and sag; too small and the cups crush. The sizes below cover most cafe and bakery orders - measure your most common takeaway combo and match from the table.
| Bag | Size (W×D×H, cm) | Fits |
| Single-cup bag | 12.8 × 9.5 × 25 | One hot cup plus pastry |
| Small vertical | 15 × 8 × 21 | Small gifts, single snacks |
| Medium vertical | 21 × 11 × 27 | Two cups, bakery boxes |
| Four-cup bag | 24 × 17 × 25 | Four drink carrier sets |
| Delivery No.3 | 21 × 14 × 19.5 | Bread, takeaway boxes |
| Delivery No.4 | 21 × 14 × 27 | Pastry and meal boxes |
| Delivery No.7 | 28 × 15 × 28 | Larger meal and cake boxes |
| Large horizontal | 32 × 11 × 27 | Wide bakery trays |
• Flat handle: the standard for cafes - comfortable, economical.
• Rope handle: the premium look for gift and dessert bags.
• Body colours: natural kraft, white, black plus coloured options to match a brand palette.
Brown kraft shifts light inks, so the strongest bag designs use one- or two-colour logos, or reverse print - white or light ink on the brown body. For full-colour artwork, white or coloured bag bodies render brand colours accurately. We return a bag die-line with your quote so artwork lands inside the safe zone. MOQ confirmed per design in the quotation.
Bags order best alongside the cups they carry: one brand kit, one production schedule, one container. Mixed SKUs - cups, bags, lids, carriers - consolidate into a single shipment with one set of documents. Bags are produced in FDA- and ISO-certified facilities by our manufacturing partners.
MOQ is confirmed per design in the quotation - size, handle and print affect it. Tell us the bag size and print and we quote both options.
Yes. Two or three sizes of the same design are a common order and ship consolidated.
Paper weight is matched to the load - drink-carrying bags use a heavier stock than gift bags. We confirm the spec with samples before bulk.
Send us your typical order combo and logo, and we will recommend sizes, handles and a print layout with a quotation within 24 hours. Contact Anna Cai, Export Manager: [email protected]. See our cafe accessories range.
