Packaging and boxes
Every branded paper bag leaving your store is a walking billboard seen by shoppers and passers-by. The material decides how often it's reused.
This guide covers paper types, handles and printing for custom shopping bags.
See the box styles and packaging solutions we manufacture on our packaging page. For the full range we produce, see our paper bag printing service page.

How the process works
Every order follows the same simple path from brief to delivery:
- Share the product dimensions, quantity and shelf or shipping needs.
- We recommend box styles, materials and print finishes.
- Approve dielines, artwork and a sample box.
- Production, folding and delivery across the UAE.
Buying tips
A few practical points before you place the order:
- Strong handles and gussets decide whether bags get reused.
- Kraft suits eco messages; coated paper suits colour-packed retail.
- Keep artwork within safe margins from the crease lines.
- Test load – a bag that survives heavy shopping is its own ad.
