Paper Bag Printing Services by Bhagwati Printer
With plastic bags banned or restricted in most Indian states now, paper bags have become the go-to choice for retail stores, restaurants, boutiques, and gift shops. But a plain, unbranded paper bag is a missed opportunity. Every time a customer walks out of your store carrying a printed bag with your logo on it, your brand travels with them - through the market, in their car, into their home.
At Bhagwati Printer, we print paper bags that are sturdy, good looking, and built to carry your brand wherever your customer goes. This page covers everything about our paper bag printing services - the types of bags we make, materials, printing options, and how to place your order.
What is Paper Bag Printing?
Paper bag printing is the process of adding your brand logo, name, colours, and design onto a paper bag using specialised printing techniques. This is different from just buying a plain bag and pasting a sticker on it. A properly printed paper bag has your branding built into the material itself, giving it a professional, permanent look that a sticker or stamp can never match.
Good paper bag printing includes:
- Brand logo and tagline
- Colour scheme matching your brand identity
- Product or store information
- Contact details and social media handles
- Special finishes like matte lamination or spot UV

Paper Bag Material and Thickness Options Available at Bhagwati Printer
The strength and look of a paper bag depends heavily on the paper quality (measured in GSM - grams per square metre) and the type of paper used.
| Paper Type |
Typical GSM |
Best Suited For |
|
Kraft paper
|
120-150 GSM
|
Everyday retail, food, eco-friendly branding
|
|
Art paper (glossy/matte)
|
150-300 GSM
|
Premium retail, cosmetics, gifting
|
|
Recycled paper
|
100-140 GSM
|
Budget-friendly, sustainable packaging
|
|
Handmade paper
|
120-200 GSM
|
Boutique, artisanal, and luxury gifting
|
Higher GSM means thicker, sturdier paper that can carry heavier items without tearing. We help you choose the right GSM based on what your customers will typically carry in the bag - a bakery bag carrying bread needs less strength than a shopping bag carrying clothes or electronics.
