When customers walk out of a store, the bag in their hand is the last impression your brand makes that day. We design and produce custom packaging bags in New York City, from small prototyping runs for a single boutique to full wholesale programs and business packaging orders for multi-location retailers.

Materials & Printing
Material selection drives weight, cost, print quality, and how the bag holds up in the customer’s hand. Because one team owns the printing and the bag construction, we match Pantone colors precisely, run a physical proof or prototype before full production, and customize artwork placement without routing your files through a third-party printer first — which is what makes one color standard hold across a bag, a pouch, and a box.

Print & Finishing
Every bag is built to the same standard: your artwork, your dimensions, your handle style, managed by one team, so you are never waiting for three vendors to agree on a color. Whether you need a few hundred bags for a pop-up or a few hundred thousand for a seasonal rollout, we manage the printing, cutting, and finishing directly, which keeps lead times predictable and quality consistent from the first bag to the last.
Bags aren’t one product — they’re a family of formats, each suited to a different job on the retail floor or in the fulfillment center. Here’s how we break down the category, and what each format does for a brand. Most brands end up using two or three of these formats, and we design them as one family, so the print, the materials, and the color match across the set.
Handled paper and plastic bags built for the checkout counter, sized and printed to carry your logo out the door. If this is what you’re after, our dedicated custom shopping bags page covers handle styles, gusset widths, and print options in more depth, including how brands customize a single silhouette across a whole store fleet.
Kraft, white, and coated paper stocks in flat-bottom, gusseted, and euro-tote formats. Paper bags take ink cleanly, hold their shape under weight, and can be produced from recycled or FSC-certified materials when sustainability messaging matters to your customers. Grease- and moisture-resistant coatings are available for bakery, café, and prepared-food runs, matched to the product the same way we spec food packaging board.
Poly, HDPE, and LDPE bags for wet goods, cold items, or heavier loads where paper isn’t practical. We produce these with die-cut handles, drawstrings, or soft-loop options depending on what the product inside needs to survive the trip home. The same films run as pouches: resealable stand-up pouches for powders, snacks, and supplements, and flat barrier pouches for single-serve products, printed on the same press as the bags that carry them.
Sized and printed for storefront checkout, boutique flagship openings, and multi-location chains that need consistent branding across every register. Bags are usually where we start with a new retail packaging client, since they’re the highest-visibility item a shopper touches on the way out the door. We can help a new retail program get the design right before the first run: send artwork and dimensions, and we’ll come back with a free quote and a bag spec built for the store.
Slim, tear-resistant bags built to protect folded or hanging apparel between the rack and the customer’s closet. We can help with clothing packaging, too, for brands that need matching poly bags, suit covers, or branded mailers alongside their in-store bags.
We built this shop around two kinds of customers: brands that need a wholesale volume of standard bags reliably reordered season after season, and brands that need a fully custom run — new dimensions, new stock, new print technique — prototyped and approved before it goes into production. Both paths run through the same team, so a custom prototype today can become a repeat wholesale order next quarter without starting over with a new vendor. Packaging printing, cutting, and handle attachment all stay with that same team, which is what makes a reorder match the first order instead of drifting a shade with every vendor change.
Many of our bag clients also come back for packaging beyond the checkout counter — retail displays, seasonal gifting, subscription boxes. The same care goes into our gift wrapping boxes, which we produce alongside bag orders for clients who need both under one purchase order.
Send your artwork, dimensions, and quantity — we'll come back with a free quote and offer the stock, handle style, print method, and shipping options that fit the load.
Common Questions
Minimums vary by bag type and material, but because we manage production directly, we can offer smaller custom runs than most overseas manufacturers — useful for a business testing a first bag program — alongside standard wholesale volumes for reorders. Send the artwork and the quantity and we'll price both in one free quote.
Turnaround depends on complexity — stock bag styles with your printed logo move faster than fully custom dimensions, a new design, or specialty finishes like foil stamping. We'll give you a concrete production timeline and shipping date once we've confirmed specs and quantity, and a firm date is what makes a seasonal rollout land on time.
Yes. We produce physical prototypes and print proofs in-house before any full run goes into production, so you can check color, stock weight, handle strength, and print against your actual products before we commit to volume. If the design or the materials need a change, that is the moment when it costs nothing.
Yes. Stand-up pouches, flat barrier pouches, and resealable film bags run on the same films and presses as our plastic bags, which is why they sit in the custom packaging bags line rather than a separate one. Powder, snack, supplement, and pet food brands use them most, and we can create a matching set — pouch, shopping bag, and mailer — printed to one color standard, so customers see the same brand in the store and at the door.
