9 Types of Paper Bags and When to Use Them February 14, 2018 By 9 Types of Paper Bags and When to Use Them February 14, 2018 By Emily at Paper Mart From brown lunch sacks to branded merch bags, there’s a perfect paper bag for every occasion. When it comes to your business, a paper bag isn’t just a paper bag — it’s an opportunity to offer customers utility while putting your brand on full display. Since Francis Wolle invented the first machine to mass-produce paper bags in 1852, an incredible variety of options have been developed and improved upon for commercial use. We’ve put together a guide to nine of our favorite types of paper bag, and all the ways your business can put them to use. 1) S.O.S. Bags The S.O.S. bag is the preferred lunch carrier of children and office workers the world over. Recognizable by its iconic brown color, the S.O.S bag stands on its own so that you can fill it with food, drinks, and treats easily. Perfect for toting small items, S.O.S. bags come in a variety of colors for a touch of modern flair. 2) Pinch-Bottom Bags The wide-top construction of the pinch bottom bag allows it to remain open while being loaded. With a tapered end, envelope-like seal, and grease-resistant glassine lining, it makes for an ideal packaging solution for baked goods. 3) Merchandise Bags Merchandise bags offer a dependable, stylish way for customers to bring home their in-store purchases. With some customization, you can add a branded touch — whether you’re a small business owner or an event planner looking for an eye-catching container for your party favors. 4) Euro Tote Think of the euro tote as the lunch bag’s sophisticated cousin. High-end retailers often use euro totes as their branded merchandise bags, adorning them with customized designs and branded logos. With ribbon handles and glitter embellishments, they make great alternatives to traditional gift packaging. 5) Bakery Bags Bakery bags are crafted specifically to protect your food products. With glassine and wax paper linings, these bags preserve the taste and freshness of perishable items, making them perfect for bread, cookies, and even coffee. 6) Party Bag Celebrate birthdays, bachelorette parties, and other special occasions by filling party bags with sweets, gift cards, and other mementos. Your guests will love going home with an aesthetically pleasing bag full of keepsakes. 7) Mailing Bags Envelope-style mailing bags are perfect for sending important documents and small products. With their extra layer of protective padding, they’re an ideal option for shipping fragile items to customers or business partners. 8) Recycled Bags With the rise of e-commerce, consumers and retailers alike want to do everything in their power to reduce their carbon footprint. Recycled bags — made with environmentally-friendly materials — can help us all go green, and can even be reused for other business needs. 9) Vogue Bags The vogue bag makes for an elegant alternative to plain paper. Filled with fun tissue paper and a handwritten card tucked inside, vogue bags can take your gift wrapping operation to the next level. .

  • Don't Take a Holiday from Recycling!
    Don’t Take a Holiday From Recycling! How to Have a “Greener” Holiday Season Brought to you by the City of Griffin Solid Waste Department • Americans throw away 25% more trash during the Thanksgiving to New Year’s holiday season than any other time of year. This extra garbage amounts to 25 million tons of trash . • If every family in the U.S. reused just 2 feet of holiday ribbon, the 38,000 miles of ribbon saved could tie a bow around the entire planet. • The 2.65 billion Christmas cards sold each year in the U.S. could fill a football field 10 stories high. If we each sent one card less, we’d save 50,000 cubic yards of paper. Items to Recycle: • Corrugated cardboard boxes (flatten and place next to your recycle can) • Gift boxes • Gift catalogs • Newspapers filled with advertising inserts • Wrapping paper / Gift Bags • greeting cards Tips for a Greener Holiday Season • Use reusable shopping bags. This will reduce the number of plastic bags that get trashed and minimize the amount of petroleum used to make them. If you receive plastic bags, remember to recycle them. • Send your holiday greetings in electronic form. E-cards can be enhanced with sound and animation and they create no physical waste. • If you use traditional gift wrapping, always buy recycled-content wrapping paper. If your store doesn't sell recycled-content wrapping paper, ask the manager to order it in the future. • If you send holiday cards, buy recycled-content cards and envelopes. Or make your own cards.

  • How-To: Earth-Friendly Gift Wrapping
    How-To: Earth-Friendly Gift Wrapping Attractive wrapping adds excitement, intrigue, and beauty to any gift-giving occasion, and it’s an especially cherished part of holiday festivities. The thrill of seeing wrapped presents and the anticipation of counting down days until they can be opened are beloved traditions, and for many people these are some of the fondest memories of childhood. However, this annual extravaganza featuring loads of wrapped gifts has a dark side. According to the National Environmental Foundation, during the holidays (Thanksgiving through New Year’s Day): • The amount of trash produced in America increases by about 25%, or about 1 million extra tons per week. • 38,000 miles of ribbon are discarded — enough to wrap around the planet, with some to spare. Especially troublesome are plastic-laminated boxes and papers, as well those with metallic coatings and/or added glitter. These non-recyclable materials are often tossed into recycling bins, require time-consuming separation or even the rejection of entire lots of recycling due to the “contamination” caused by their presence. Fortunately, with a few simple (and fun!) changes to our gift-wrapping habits, we can all reduce the amount of waste we generate without giving up our cherished traditions. Reuse! If you can convince everyone to slow down and unwrap gifts in a mindful way, you can fold and reuse the paper. Yes, for some it’s become part of the tradition to open gifts in a wild frenzy. But slowing down offers opportunities for practices of patience and gratitude — lessons important to both kids and adults.
