SOS Bags are custom-printed flat-bottom paper bags for grocers, bakeries, delis, and takeout counters that need a bag that stands open and packs fast. Built from kraft or white paper, they hold their shape on the counter so staff can fill them one-handed and move the line.

The self-standing flat bottom keeps contents upright and makes loading quick, which matters when orders stack up at peak. A wide printable face gives your brand room to breathe, so a plain bag becomes a moving storefront. Reach for them at the bakery counter, the farmers-market stall, or the deli pickup window.

SOS Bags Materials & Specifications

  • Material: Kraft or white paper, flat-bottom (self-opening) construction
  • Printing: Full-color CMYK
  • Finishing: Matte or gloss lamination, foil, spot UV

Best Used For

Keep the natural kraft look with a single-color stamp, or go full-color across the face. Add lamination for a more durable surface, foil for shine, or spot UV to highlight a mark.
