Flat Paper Bags - Brown & White Kraft

QIS Packaging's flat paper bags are the everyday workhorse for Australian bakeries, cafés, lolly shops, butchers, market stalls, sandwich bars, food trucks, and small retailers. Made from food-safe, 100% recyclable kraft paper with no handles for a clean, compact profile, these flat bags are the most economical way to pack bread, pastries, sandwiches, lollies, accessories, jewellery, and small retail goods. Available in brown and white, in eight popular sizes from quarter to extra large.

Why choose QIS flat paper bags?

Every flat paper bag is made from natural, breathable kraft paper at a strong 35gsm, light enough to keep costs low for high-volume use, tough enough to hold a sandwich, a lolly bag, or a pair of socks without tearing. Because the bags lay completely flat, they take up almost no storage space behind the counter and stack perfectly in display dispensers. They're 100% recyclable, biodegradable, and compostable, the smart, sustainable swap for plastic sandwich and lolly bags.

Two paper colours

• Flat Brown Paper Bags – classic, warm, natural kraft. Perfect for bakeries, butchers, delis, fruit shops, and rustic retail.
• Flat White Paper Bags – bright, clean, premium look. Ideal for cafés, lolly shops, pharmacies, gift stores, and food service.
• Grease-Proof Paper Bags – moisture- and oil-resistant lining for hot chips, pastries, doughnuts, and fried snacks.
• Glossy White Paper Bags – smooth, premium finish for boutique retail, gifting, and high-end food service.

Flat paper bags suit a huge range of Australian businesses. Use them for bakery and bread service, sandwich and lunch packing, lolly and confectionery, fruit and produce, hardware and small parts, jewellery and accessories, pharmacy, gift wrapping, and market stalls. The neutral kraft surface is perfect for stamps, stickers, and printed branding, and the small footprint means you can keep a full size range on hand without taking up valuable counter space.

Food-safe, recyclable, made for daily use

All QIS flat paper bags are made from food-grade kraft paper suitable for direct food contact and compliant with Australian food safety standards. After use, they're fully recyclable through kerbside paper recycling, biodegradable in landfill, and compostable, making them the obvious choice for cafés and food businesses that have moved away from single-use plastic.
