Paper Bags
The Eternal Packaging SOS paper bag range is manufactured from 80gsm recycled kraft paper in both brown and white finishes. Brown kraft delivers the natural, earthy aesthetic that communicates sustainability and artisan quality, and is particularly well suited to bakeries, delis, farmers’ markets and street food operators.
White kraft offers a clean, contemporary finish that is ideal for branded printing and premium retail presentation. Both finishes are available in small, medium and large formats, with dimensions covering the most common food-to-go carry requirements from single bakery items to multi-product grocery purchases.
Size guide
All three sizes are available in both brown and white, providing full flexibility across different service environments.
The small format (1800mm x 2300mm x 900mm) is suited to individual bakery items, confectionery, single sandwiches and light food-to-go purchases.
The medium format (2200mm x 2500mm x 1100mm) accommodates standard food-to-go orders, deli items, clothing accessories and most single-product retail applications.
The large format (2500mm x 3000mm x 1400mm) handles bulkier retail purchases, multi-item food orders, clothing and gift retail.
Sustainability and compliance
Manufactured from recycled paper, these bags support sustainable packaging procurement policies across retail, food service and distribution. SOS paper bags are fully recyclable through standard kerbside paper recycling streams in the UK and comply with the government’s extended producer responsibility (EPR) packaging regulations. They are free from plastic coatings, making them genuinely recyclable at end of life rather than requiring separation of materials before disposal.
