Custom Die-Cut Handle Bags Overview

Our custom paper cutout handle bags are crafted entirely from high-quality, commercial-grade paper for a sturdy feel and clean presentation. The bags are available in kraft brown or bright white. This bag style features integrated handles that are precisely die-cut into the top of the bag, creating a modern, streamlined look. The flat-bottom design allows each bag to stand upright on its own, making packing and display effortless.

Common Uses For Die-Cut Paper Bags

Custom die-cut paper bags are a versatile packaging solution used across the food and beverage service industry. Bakeries, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, fast food establishments, and cafes utilize paper cutout handle bags to provide a branded, clean, and upscale look for their takeout and to-go orders. 

The flat bottom of the bags makes them sturdy enough to hold food containers and packaged beverages. A wax lining can also be added to the bags to package greasier items like burgers, chicken nuggets, fries, and more.

No matter how you use them, custom paper cutout handle bags are more than packaging; they’re an extension of your brand. They combine durability with an upscale feel, helping you create an impression that lasts well beyond the point of sale.

Bag Sizes

We can make our die-cut paper bags in any size to meet the varying needs of food and beverage service businesses. We’ve listed our most popular bag sizes on the shop. A description of the four different sizes we offer can be found below. 

  • 5.5 x 3.25 x 8.5: Our smallest bag size is a great option for grab-and-go items. These bags are commonly used to package pastries, single sandwiches or lunch portion items,  small to-go orders, and more.
  • 8 x 4.5 x 10.5: This size is a good medium-sized bag. You can use it to package multiple baked goods or boxed lunches, two to three medium to-go containers, and more. 
  • 5.5 x 3.25 x 13: This size is tall and narrow, which lends itself nicely to packaging skinnier products. This size is an ideal choice for bottles of wine or specialty beverages, bread loaves,  french bread sandwiches, and more.
  • 10 x 5.5 x 13.25: These large retail bags are big enough to hold a wide variety of items. They can comfortably fit multiple takeout containers (enough for an entire family), bulk bakery items, gift sets, heavier premium products, and more. 

Keep in mind that the handles cut out of the bags are not as sturdy as shopping bags with twisted paper rope. Sizing up can help you distribute weight more evenly to avoid the risk of having the handles tear. When in doubt, it’s likely better to choose a larger size.

Other Paper Bag Options

Cutout handle bags aren’t the only bags we offer for take-out or to-go packaging. We offer two additional paper bag styles to choose from: SOS and shopping.

  • Custom SOS Bags: SOS bags are also referred to as paper lunch bags. These bags are our most affordable, and they’ll do a good job of neatly packaging your food so that it can be conveniently carried out of your store. However, these bags can be harder for customers to grip or carry because they do not have handles. 
  • Custom Shopping Bags: Paper shopping bags are the leading choice for packaging to-go orders. The twisted paper rope handles can comfortably support more weight than cutout handles. The cylindrical shape of the handles also makes them easier to grab and hold in comparison to cutout handles. If you want to give your brand a premium feel, then shopping bags are the best option.

Not sure which style of bag would be the most suitable for your business? Our team can help you evaluate your needs and weigh the pros and cons of each style to find the best option for you.

The Process For Ordering Custom Bags

Ordering custom die-cut handle bags should be simple, fast, and hassle-free. At Disposable Design, we’ve developed a streamlined process that guides you every step of the way.

  1. Online Order or Quote Request: You can either place an order directly online or contact us to request a quote. If you request a quote, we’ll collect the important details we need from you (bag size, quantity, number of colors, print locations, etc.). We’ll then prepare a clear, detailed quote with transparent pricing and timelines. We highly recommend contacting us for a quote instead of placing an order online to get the best possible price.
  2. Prepare Artwork: Once you’re ready to proceed, we’ll collect your logo or design you’d like featured on your bags to be able to create a proof. We accept a variety of file formats and can help you make sure everything meets print specifications. Don’t have a design yet? Our in-house design experts can create artwork for you or adjust your existing files at no additional cost.
  3. Proof Review: Before anything goes to print, we’ll send you a digital proof showing exactly how your custom bags will look. This is your opportunity to review placement, colors, and details. We’ll make any adjustments requested until you’re completely satisfied with the proof.
  4. Production & Shipping: Once you approve the proof, we’ll start production on your custom bags. After production, your order undergoes a thorough quality inspection to ensure it meets our high standards. Your bags are then securely packed and shipped directly to your location.

The standard turnaround time for our custom paper cutout handle bags is 8-12 weeks, but we do offer rush shipping if you need bags faster. Rush shipping cuts the turnaround time down to 4-6 weeks. We’ll give you a more accurate estimate for turnaround time when you request a quote or place an order.

Custom Paper Handle Bag FAQs

Are Quantity Discounts Available For Larger Orders?

Disposable Design does offer quantity discounts for larger orders! You won’t be able to get quantity discounts directly through the site. We request that you contact us for a free quote to determine if your order qualifies and receive pricing with quantity discounts. Reaching out to our team will help you secure the best possible price for your order. 

Are The Bags Greaseproof And/Or Waterproof?

Our standard bags are produced purely of paper, so they are not grease or water-resistant. However, we can manufacture bags with a wax coating to make them greaseproof or waterproof. You can reach out to us to request pricing for paper bags with a wax lining. 

Are The Custom Paper Bags Recyclable? 

Our standard custom paper die-cut handle bags are 100% recyclable. If you request bags with a wax lining, then those bags will not be recyclable. The wax coating contaminates the paper recycling process, which makes it difficult to separate the paper fibers from the wax. 

What Should I Know When Designing For My Bags?

Designing for print is slightly different from designing for digital screens. We recommend exporting designs to a PDF or vector format (.ai, .eps, or .svg) to avoid visible pixelation for your prints. If you’re unable to export to these file formats, our team can help you convert your design at no additional cost. The number of colors used for your bags can also impact the cost of your bags. One color is included with every order. We charge an additional flat rate of $100 for two colors or $200 for full color. If your goal is to add branding to your bags in the most economical way possible, then producing a design with just one or two colors will save you money. 

Are Branded Bags Worth It?

It’s a fair question, especially if you’re weighing the costs of custom packaging against generic plain bags. For most businesses, branded bags aren’t just worth it; they’re one of the smartest, most cost-effective marketing investments you can make.

Branding your bags creates instant brand recognition, helps to create a professional and cohesive image, and differentiates you from your competition. On the other hand, generic bags don’t offer any benefits outside of their designed purpose of packaging. The benefits you receive with branded bags far outweigh the cost of a few extra cents per bag for printing. 

Branded bags help you make a lasting impression, strengthen your brand, and turn everyday transactions into opportunities for connection and growth. If you’re looking to take your business to new heights, then branding your bags can be one of the many components that help you achieve your goal.
