What is the minimum order quantity for custom printed paper bags?

At Barry Packaging, we specialise in medium to large print runs, which means we don't cater for very small quantities - and that's actually great news for your business. By focusing on higher volume orders, we're able to offer significantly more competitive prices per unit, meaning you get far better value for your branded bags. The more you order, the lower your cost per bag. Get in touch with our team at barrypackaging.com to discuss quantities and find the best option for your business.


How long does it take to produce branded paper bags?

Lead times for custom printed paper bags at Barry Packaging depend on design complexity, print finish, and order volume. We recommend planning ahead, especially for key retail periods like Christmas, trade shows, or new store openings. Contact our team early and we will work to meet your deadline.


What sizes are available for custom printed paper bags?

Barry Packaging offers a wide range of bag sizes, from small boutique bags for jewellery and beauty products to large retail shopping bags for clothing, homeware, and gifts. Visit barrypackaging.com or contact our team to discuss the best dimensions for your products.


Can I print my logo and brand colours on the bags?

Yes, Barry Packaging offers a free design service. Our expert graphic designers will ensure your logo, brand colours, and artwork are reproduced accurately. We provide a digital proof for approval before production to ensure the final result meets your expectations.


What types of handles are available on branded bags?

We offer rope handles, twisted paper handles, and flat paper handles. Rope handles provide a premium feel, while flat and twisted handles are practical and cost-effective for everyday retail use. Our team can advise on the best option for your needs and budget.


Are the branded bags eco-friendly or recyclable?

Yes - sustainability is at the heart of what we do at Barry Packaging. Our branded paper bags are made from high-quality kraft paper and are fully recyclable and eco-friendly. We are proud holders of the FSC® certification, meaning the paper used in our products comes from responsibly managed forests. As Irish consumers increasingly expect businesses to use sustainable packaging, choosing branded kraft paper bags from Barry Packaging is a simple and effective way to demonstrate your commitment to the environment.

What paper stock and GSM options are available?

We offer a range of paper weights and finishes, including kraft paper in brown or white, as well as gloss and matte laminated options. Heavier GSM provides a more premium feel, while lighter options are cost-effective for higher-volume retail use.Learn more about our paper weights


Can I see a proof or sample before placing a full order?

Yes, we provide a digital proof for your review before production. This ensures your colours, logo placement, and design are exactly right before printing begins, giving you full confidence in the final product.


What is the cost per bag, and are there bulk discounts?

Our pricing rewards volume, meaning the more you order, the lower your cost per bag. By focusing on medium to large runs, we offer competitive unit pricing. Flexible payment plans may also be available (terms and conditions apply).


Do you deliver branded paper bags across Ireland, and what are the delivery times?

Yes, Barry Packaging offers free delivery across Ireland and Northern Ireland. Delivery times vary based on order size and specifications, so we recommend contacting us early, especially during busy retail periods. Our team will keep you informed throughout the process.
