What do you think of when you hear the word “paper bag?” Probably nothing special. You might think of a slightly wrinkled, gray-brown bag or a pastry bag from your last grocery shopping trip to the bakery. Although it’s hard to believe, ordinary paper bags are extraordinary! In fact, they have many uses. They are not only suitable for storage, wrapping, but even for mailing.
We can find paper bags everywhere! Shops offer it as an alternative to plastic bags, stationery shops will wrap your spare pencil refills in it, cosmetic shops offer a variety of handmade products, and newsagents sell postcards. Everything is safely “bagged” so that it doesn’t get damaged on the way. After all, nobody likes to see newly purchased items crumpled, dirty or marked with fingerprints. Also, fresh bread or other baked goods are not freely available in the bakery. Already here, the true versatility shows itself: bags can not only “hold” a lot, they can also “give away” – namely corporate advertising. Because paper bags are ideal for printing! Besides, they also have elegant variants, for example as coloured gift bags. Then they turn from boring brown or white into a fashionable, colourful paper bag that offers many solutions as gift wrapping.
Paper bags can do even more
Paper bags can be used not only for packaging, but also for mailing. Small and flat goods can be sent in the form of mailing envelopes. In these mailing envelopes, which could be called paper bags, loose and small items can be gathered or folded in a practical way. Thanks to the lightweight and tear-resistant material, these bags save postage costs and nothing gets lost in transit!
And where to go with your garden waste? Here too you can use paper bags. Paper bags are not only available in small sizes, but also as large-volume bags! They are made of strong kraft paper and therefore can stand up to anything. Even moisture won’t harm them, so they can stay outside for a while before everything ends up in the compost heap, for example.
Paper bags are not nearly as boring as they might seem at first glance. They bring variety that you can use not only in your work activities, but also in the home.
