Product Description

Paper Packaging with Your Brand in Mind

Choose from single-bottle wine bags, laminated retail bags, paper-handle designs and Canadian-made Kraft bags. Each offers its own dimensions, handle options and minimum order requirements.

Choose the Right Finish and Construction

Compare matte, glossy and laser-laminated finishes with the paper and handle options for your products. Optional reinforcements, liners, hangtags or tamper-evident closures are available on selected bags. Confirm the construction you need when requesting a quote.

Thinking Of Going Green? Think ICEGREEN Paper Bags

Every customer interaction leaves an impression. The packaging you hand over at checkout speaks just as clearly as your product. With ICEGREEN, your brand carries forward in a way that aligns with responsible practices and long-term usability.

Our bags are built for businesses that need consistency, strength, and a clean presentation. From boutique retail stores to high-volume grocery chains, these bags handle daily operations without compromising on quality. The materials are sourced with care, keeping recyclability and durability in focus.

The demand for sustainable packaging in Canada has shifted toward solutions that balance cost with environmental responsibility. ICEGREEN meets that need with options that perform well under load and maintain their structure through repeated handling. Whether you need a simple kraft finish or a custom printed design, each bag is produced to represent your brand with clarity.

For businesses transitioning away from single-use plastic, this is a practical step forward. It supports both operational efficiency and customer expectations, especially for brands looking to offer eco-friendly bags without inflating costs.

Types of Paper Bags We Offer

Different industries require different formats. ICEGREEN provides a wide selection designed to match how your business operates.

Retail Bags
Ideal for clothing stores, gift shops, and specialty outlets. These bags are designed for visual appeal, often featuring custom prints, reinforced handles, and premium finishes that elevate the customer experience.

Grocery Bags
Built for strength and volume, grocery bags are made to carry heavier loads such as produce, packaged goods, and bulk items. Flat bottoms and sturdy side gussets improve weight distribution and make packing easier.

Kraft Bags
A go-to option for businesses that prefer a natural look. Kraft bags are durable, recyclable, and widely used across industries. They offer a clean surface for branding while maintaining a raw, minimal aesthetic.

Wine Bags
Structured specifically for bottle packaging, wine paper bags provide both protection and presentation. Reinforced bases and handles ensure safe transport, making them suitable for wineries, liquor stores, and gifting purposes.

Paper bag businesses in Canada often require flexibility in sizing, handle types, and finishes. ICEGREEN accommodates that with custom specifications, allowing you to align packaging with your exact requirements.

Benefits of Using Paper Bags

Switching to paper packaging is not just about appearance. It directly impacts how your business operates and how customers perceive your brand.

Reliable Strength for Daily Use
Modern bag construction supports significant weight without tearing. Reinforced handles and layered bases improve load-bearing capacity, making them suitable for retail and grocery environments.

Recyclable and Responsible
These bags are produced using materials that can be recycled after use. This reduces waste accumulation and aligns with growing customer awareness around packaging choices.

Brand Visibility
Paper surfaces allow for clear, high-quality printing. Your logo, colors, and messaging remain visible as customers carry the bag, extending your brand reach beyond the point of sale.

Cost Efficiency at Scale
Wholesale supply ensures competitive pricing. Businesses across Canada also benefit from bulk ordering without compromising on quality or customization.

Customer Preference
Shoppers increasingly expect alternatives to plastic. Offering reusable bags and recyclable paper options positions your brand as one that pays attention to changing expectations.

Choose paper packaging around the size, weight and presentation of the contents. The Canadian-made range offers white and brown Kraft with twisted paper handles. The paper-handle design provides an alternative to non-paper cord, while laminated art paper bags offer matte, glossy or laser-laminated finishes. A single-bottle paper wine bag has its own dimensions and minimum order. Use those individual specifications when comparing the range.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which paper bags are made in Canada?

Our Canadian Made Paper Bags range is manufactured in Canada and is available in white or brown Kraft paper. For other styles, ask us to confirm the manufacturing origin when requesting a quote. Manufacturing origin is product-specific. Selecting the Canadian-made Kraft range does not establish the origin of every paper, laminated or bottle bag shown elsewhere in the catalog.

What finishes and handles are available?

Laminated paper bags offer glossy, matte and laser-laminated finishes, with PP cord or ribbon handles. Other styles offer cord, twisted-paper or paper-ribbon handles. Options depend on the bag you choose. Include handle drop and the packed product dimensions in your brief, as well as the visual finish. A paper handle, PP cord or ribbon changes the complete construction and may affect local recycling instructions.

Can the entire bag be recycled?

Our 100% Recyclable Paper Bags design uses paper handles instead of non-paper rope handles. Recycling requirements vary by location and construction, so check the requirements for your area and your chosen bag. Do not assume every paper bag belongs in the same recycling stream. Coatings, mixed materials and local program rules matter; request the construction details for the exact bag before setting customer disposal guidance.

What are the paper-bag minimum orders?

Paper-bag minimum orders start at 5,000 pieces. For Canadian Made Paper Bags, the printed minimum is 5,000 per size and artwork, while blank bags are sold by skid-lot only. Confirm the requirements for your chosen design when requesting a quote. A size change or different artwork can create a separate production requirement. Identify the quantity needed for each size and print design so the quoted minimum and price correspond to the actual order.

Can I request a custom size?

Custom sizes are available for laminated paper bags, paper-handle bags and Canadian-made Kraft bags. The single-bottle Paper Wine Bags design measures 16.5 inches high by 4 inches wide with a 3-inch gusset. Share your product dimensions to find a suitable option. Include any box or protective packaging in the product measurements. Confirm usable bag space, the gusset and handle clearance rather than choosing only by the outside height.

How do I start a paper-bag order?

Send the intended contents, dimensions, finish, handles, artwork, quantity and required delivery date. Confirm the final specification and production timing before placing the order. Include the delivery destination and required arrival date as part of the brief. Confirm the final specification and the agreed production and delivery schedule before planning a launch around the order.

What is the difference between recycled and recyclable paper bags?

Recycled content describes material used to make a bag. Recyclable describes whether the finished construction can be collected and processed by an appropriate recycling program. A bag may contain recycled paper but also have a coating or non-paper handles. Confirm both the material specification and the local acceptance rules for the finished bag.

Can laminated paper bags go in paper recycling?

Do not assume so. A laminated coating changes the construction, and acceptance depends on the recycling provider. For example, Recycle BC lists paper bags with a plastic layer as not accepted in its paper stream. Ask for the coating and handle details, then check the program where your customers will dispose of the bags. Check Recycle BC’s paper guide.

What artwork information do I need for custom printed paper bags?

Provide your logo or design, brand-colour references, intended print position and the bag dimensions. Specify whether designs differ across the front, back and sides, and how many sizes or artwork versions you need. Confirm the artwork requirements and final printable area for the selected paper and finish before production is agreed.

How do I choose paper bags for heavier purchases?

Start with the dimensions and total weight of the usual purchase. Compare the paper construction, base and handle options for that load, and include any reinforced bottom or top detail in the specification. Ask the team to confirm suitability for the actual contents; the bag’s appearance alone does not establish a load rating.
