How It Works

Custom shopping bags transform every purchase into brand exposure. We offer kraft paper bags (natural, white, or colored), laminated paper bags (premium retail feel), and reusable non-woven bags (eco-friendly and durable). Your logo and branding are printed directly on the bag material—either flexographic printing for simple designs on kraft bags, or offset/digital printing for complex full-color graphics. Choose your size based on typical purchase volume, handle style (twisted paper, flat ribbon, die-cut, or rope handles), and any special finishing like matte or gloss lamination. Bags ship flat to save space; they pop into shape instantly when opened.

Why Choose MCI

Shopping bags are mobile billboards—customers carry your brand through parking lots, malls, and neighborhoods. We've produced bags for St. Louis retailers, boutiques, restaurants, and event promoters who understand this marketing value. We source quality bags that hold up to heavy items without tearing and look premium enough to be reused. Our minimums are accessible for smaller retailers who can't order 10,000 bags at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What bag material should I choose?
Kraft paper bags are economical and eco-friendly—good for casual retail and food service. Laminated paper bags have a premium look for boutiques and upscale retail. Non-woven polypropylene bags are reusable and durable—great for grocery stores and promotional giveaways. Material choice depends on your brand positioning and budget.
What handle options are available?
Twisted paper handles are standard and economical. Flat paper handles lay flat for stacking. Ribbon handles look premium on laminated bags. Die-cut handles (cut into the bag itself) are simple and cost-effective. Rope handles work for heavy-duty bags. We'll recommend options based on your bag style and weight requirements.
Can I get full-color printing on shopping bags?
Yes. Kraft bags typically use 1-2 color printing for economy, but we can produce full-color bags using laminated paper or digital printing on specialty materials. Full-color makes sense for brands with detailed logos or photographic imagery.
What is the minimum order for custom bags?
Our minimum is 250 bags, making custom printing accessible for smaller retailers. Pricing improves significantly at 500, 1,000, and higher quantities. For very small needs, we can source blank stock bags and apply labels or stamps as an alternative.
