Paper Carry Bags for Retail, Food Service and Events
Detpak’s paper carry bags are built from heavyweight kraft paper with reinforced handles, designed to carry a full load from counter to car without giving way. The twist handle and flat handle styles suit different service contexts: twist handles offer a comfortable grip for customers carrying bags over distance, while flat handles pack down neatly and are well suited to high-volume retail and food service environments. Both styles are available in brown, white and black, across small, medium and large sizes.
Whether you run a boutique, a clothing store, a gift shop, a café or a takeaway counter, paper carry bags present your products professionally and give customers a reusable, recyclable bag they can take home. The range suits single-site independents ordering one carton at a time through to multi-site retailers and distributors ordering at scale, with Australia-wide delivery available.

What is the difference between twist handle and flat handle paper carry bags?
Twist handle bags feature a rolled paper cord handle that is comfortable to hold, making them well suited to retail environments where customers carry bags over longer distances such as shopping centres and markets. Flat handle bags use a folded paper strip that sits flush against the bag, making them easier to stack and store in bulk and popular for high-volume food service and checkout use. For dedicated checkout and counter formats, also see our Paper Takeaway Bags and Flat Paper Bags.
Are Detpak paper carry bags strong enough for heavy retail items?
Yes. Detpak's paper carry bags are made from heavyweight kraft paper with reinforced handle attachments, designed to carry retail items securely. The range is available across small, medium and large sizes so you can match the bag to the weight and volume of what you are packing.

Can paper carry bags be custom printed with my branding?
Yes. Many styles in our paper carry bags range can be custom printed with your logo and brand colours, turning every bag into a branded touchpoint that travels with your customer after purchase. Custom print is available for retail, food service and events, and extends across the wider Paper Bags range.
Are Detpak paper carry bags recyclable?
Yes. Our paper carry bags are recyclable, compostable and reusable, making them a compliant and sustainable alternative to single-use plastic bags that are banned across Australian states and territories. The same applies across our Paper Takeaway Bags and Flat Paper Bags lines.
