Wine & Spirits

Paper Bags for Wine & Spirits

Wineries, liquor retailers, and specialty beverage brands need carry bags that reflect the premium nature of their products. We supply twisted handle bags in the right dimensions for bottles and gift sets, with custom print options for full brand alignment.

A wine bag has one non-negotiable job: hold 1.3–1.6 kg of glass safely from a rope handle, and look premium doing it. Bottle bags concentrate all the load on a small base and two handle patches, which is why the specification matters more here than in almost any other retail application — and why liquor retail is almost exclusively a twisted-handle, heavy-GSM category.

What Wine & Spirits Packaging Has to Get Right

Glass weight on a small footprint

A 750 ml bottle concentrates weight unlike any apparel purchase. Bottle bags run 120–150 GSM, usually double ply, with reinforced handle patches rated for the load.

Gifting is the use case

A large share of wine purchases are gifts — the bag is part of the present. Twisted rope handles, deep colors, and full-coverage printing read as considered rather than transactional.

Formats for one and two bottles

The classic single-bottle bag (approx. 12 × 9 × 38 cm) and wider two-bottle formats cover most liquor retail; matching store-branded carry bags handle mixed purchases.
