SOS Paper Bags
SOS (Self-Opening Satchel) bags are the workhorse of grocery stores, pharmacies, and convenience outlets. They open automatically, stand upright when filled, and handle daily high-volume use with ease. Made from kraft paper in brown and white, they are one of the most cost-effective and eco-friendly packaging solutions available.
