Paper Bags Tasmania
Tasmanian cellar doors, providores, cafes and market stallholders order paper bags from QIS Packaging, packed at our warehouse in Archerfield, Brisbane. Every consignment crosses Bass Strait, so Hobart, Launceston and the rest of the island usually receive deliveries 7 to 10 business days from the day after you order.
Plan around that transit time: order full cartons of the bags you use every week, add packs of 50 for seasonal lines, and keep spare stock on the shelf before the busy summer months.

Choosing paper bags for your Tasmanian business
Food, wine and visitors drive much of Tasmanian trade, and the right bags follow the same lines.
Cellar doors and wine producers
A bottle bag is often the last thing a visitor carries out of a tasting room. The kraft single wine bottle bag (115x385mm) suits one bottle, and the double bottle bag (155x385mm) takes a pair. Our paper wine bottle bags page lists the triple size and the deluxe versions.
Providores, growers and food makers
Jams, sauces, cheese and smoked goods sit well in the deluxe brown bag (250x350mm), whose cotton handles are comfortable with glass jars inside. For loose fruit and nuts, the size 1 SOS bag (120x210mm) is a neat small option. More ideas on our food producer packaging page.
Farmers markets and weekend stalls
Stallholders in Hobart and Launceston need bags that open with one hand. Self-opening SOS bags stand upright on a trestle, and the grocery bag range runs from small sizes to produce-box sizes. Our market stall packaging page covers the rest of a stall setup.
Cafes, bakeries and takeaway
The brown takeaway carry bag (320x330mm) has a wide base that keeps containers flat, and size 4 flat bags with a 50mm gusset fit long rolls and baguettes. See our cafe and bakery packaging pages for cups and wrap.
Galleries, gift shops and visitor retail
Visitors buy books, crafts and local produce to take home, so the bag has to survive the trip. The A3 boutique brown bag (420x310mm) has a wide landscape shape, and gift bags without handles suit small items. A printed paper carry bag keeps your name in front of people after they leave the state.
Ordering with Bass Strait in mind
Because each delivery spends 7 to 10 business days in transit, reorder while you still have three or four weeks of bags left. Full cartons such as the large brown carry bag (340x480mm) in 250s cost less per bag to freight than a run of small packs. The freight calculator gives a rough figure for your postcode.
Paper bags Tasmania: common questions
How long do deliveries to Tasmania take?
Orders placed before 12pm on a weekday leave our Brisbane warehouse the same day. Hobart, Launceston and the rest of Tasmania usually receive them in 7 to 10 business days, counted from the day after the order. Build in a buffer before events.
What does freight to Tasmania cost?
It depends on your postcode and the weight of the order, priced through our freight partner TIG. At checkout you pick a cheaper slower carrier, a faster one, or Australia Post, and see the cost before paying. For an early estimate, try the calculator on our freight page.
What are Tasmania's rules on plastic shopping bags?
Tasmania banned lightweight plastic bags under 35 micron in 2013, and thicker bags are still allowed. Paper carry bags are not affected by the ban. If you want a reusable option too, see our calico bags, and check the Tasmanian EPA for any later changes.
Should I buy cartons or packs of 50?
For weekly lines, cartons suit the longer transit, since one large consignment usually costs less per bag than several small ones. Packs of 50 are handy for testing a new size.
Can you make a bag to our own specification?
Yes, as an import order. Custom sizes and styles take 12 to 16 weeks once the specification is approved, usually with a minimum of around 3,000 bags, and delivery to Tasmania comes on top of that. Request a quote with your size, style and quantity.
Do you offer member pricing?
Yes. Create a free account and sign in before checkout, and online stock orders are 5% cheaper. Seasonal producers can also ask for a quote.
