23 Brown Paper Bag Styles

How do you choose the best brown paper bag styles for your packaging? Some people go for what looks great, others stick to the natural feel.
Still, there are those who pick designs that appeal to customers and meet all their brand requirements.
What group are you in? The answer depends on you, your brand, and your customers.

Let's take a look at 23 brown paper bag styles to explain to you the different designs available.

1. Doily-Themed Gift Pouch

Are you someone who takes simplicity seriously? If yes, then this brown paper style is one of the best for you. And it is made using 100% recyclable materials just like the other names on our list today.
The only unique thing about this paper bag is the white lace doily folded over the top gives it a delicate charm.

2. Stand-Up Pouch

Is it just me, or does the kraft paper give packaging a fresh smell just like the one you get at a farmer's market? This design delivers that, and more. See that logo area at the top? That's prime area for branding.

3. Foldable Paper Bag

I've not come across anyone who'd wish for their items to get damaged. Will you be my first? If that's the case, then this foldable paper bag is something you'd want to ignore. That's because it has everything to keep your items safe.

4. Envelope-Style Paper Bag

Did you really think you gone through all the simple designs we have today? There are more. And this envelope might be the best one for that. It is perfect for small items, say greeting cards, jewelry, or boutique accessories.

5. D-Cut Handle Paper Bag

Let's take a step further from the simple brown paper bag styles. This design has a D-Cut handle unlike anything else on this list.

6. Branded Paper Shopping Bag

The next one doesn't shout for attention. Of course, it doesn't have to. I love it, and these are the three reasons:

• It's a quality style
• Its simplicity is rare, and
• It feels just right in my hands.

7. Crumpled Paper Bag

I get it, you may not like wrinkled paper bag packaging. But hear me out: Many people already overlook this design for the very same reason you are not using it yet.
What if I told you that all the hatred gives you the perfect opportunity to stand out. Of course, this style is strong enough to hold your products.
And when almost everyone overlooks not because of any functionality weakness, but its wrinkles. You should, then, seize the opportunity to be unique by doing nothing unique.

8. Takeout Bag

The one thing I learned from this design is that you don't need loud branding to get noticed. You can beat your competition by using:

• Clean lines
• Soft colors
• Subtle illustrations

9. Luxury Kraft Paper Bag

Most of the bags so far on this list carry just products. Here's one that carries prestige, too. The soft fabric handle gives off an instant touch of elegance. One more thing, the bold black patch on the side is an example of how good branding is done.

10. Fold-Top Paper Bag

Flip, fold, secure. That's all it takes. This bag takes the classic brown paper look and adds a smart fold-over closure.

11. Kraft Paper Box with a Unique Handle

This is neither 100% a bag nor 100% a box. It's 50-50 of both. And it comes with several perks:

• You have more packaging space, thanks to its shape.
• Its die-cut handles make carrying easy.
• It appeals to the over 60% of shoppers who say they consider the eco-friendliness of the brand before deciding to buy.

12. Matte Brown Paper Bag

Now, here is an option you can use for any occasion and still look your best. You use it for your shopping, wedding events, or any other event where you must carry something. The good thing is that you will not look out of place with this.

13. Shopper Bags

You don't have to worry about what to add to this design because most brown paper bag styles don't really need much. Like here, you just need a ribbon and logo stickers to give your design a personality.

14. Paper Tote Bag

One reason most people don't use paper bags is the fear of the packaging collapsing the second you put something into it. Not this one.
It is strong enough to ensure that doesn't happen, no matter what you're carrying.

15. Branded Paper Carry Bag

It stands upright, made of recycled materials, and that's not even the best part yet. You can add your brand information and a message for your customers anywhere on the clean packaging.

16. Bag with a Clear Window

Of course, this design lets you see more than the packaging. You can also see what's inside before you open it. Sometimes you need that just to be sure of what's in it. [caption id="attachment_6626" align="aligncenter" width="736"] Version 1.0.0[/caption]

17. Kraft Paper Shopping Bags

This is just a classic brown kraft paper, ready for a logo or anything else for a personal touch and you are set. You can even choose to go with it the way it is.

18. Bag with a Pet-Inspired Design

Let your packaging be the giver of joy to your customers. There are times when people just need a little joy in their lives. You should capitalize on that with this design.

19. Shopping Bags with Twisted Paper Handles

These bags are simple, reliable, and perfect for any occasion. Think about your favorite pair of jeans. They are as cool as this. Also they are:

• Simple
• Reliable
• Perfect for any occasion

20. Brown Paper Pouch with a Serrated Top Edge

You can also wrap your items with care to make the paper pouch feel like a gift from a friend. For this, you may want to use a twine and tag for your messaging. You can also use stickers.

21. Trapezoid-Shaped Bag

The usual designs are boring. You need to have a change from the rectangular designs. Have a bag that's:

• Classy
• Luxurious
• Sturdy
• And with strong handles

22.
Small Folded-Top Paper Bags

These small bags are easy to carry and firmly secured. You give to your customers something you'd willingly take back if the relationship is reversed.

23. Standard Kraft Paper Bag

I purposefully left this common style for the last. It's just a simple brown paper bag that you can use for carrying small things.

Conclusion

Would you rather receive a gift in a flimsy plastic bag or a carefully folded pouch tied with twine? The same goes to your customers. Brown paper bag styles are available for your every need, and every occasion.
