ACPP
Structure
Handles that hold
Twisted paper handles are glued into a reinforced patch across the top fold, so load spreads across the panel instead of tearing at two points. No plastic cord, nothing to separate before composting.
ACPP / Carry bags
The bag that
gets it home.
A carry bag has one job and it is unforgiving: hold the weight of a full order, in the rain, from your counter to a car. Ours are kraft paper with twisted paper handles — no plastic laminate, no woven handle to separate at the fold.
- Three sizes, from a single pastry to a family order
- Twisted paper handles — the bag composts as one unit
- BPI Certified — ASTM D6400 / D6868, listed in the public directory
Kraft paper · BPI Certified
Why it matters
The last thing
they carry out.
The bag leaves your building and walks down a street with your name on it. It is the only piece of your packaging that other people see before your customer does.
Material
Kraft, all the way through
Uncoated kraft paper — no plastic laminate and no PFAS grease treatment. The bag enters the compost stream as a single material, which is what BPI certification requires.
Brand
Printable from one case
One or two colours with compostable inks, on any of the three sizes. Unprinted stock ships while your artwork is proofed, so you are never waiting on a print run to trade.
Specification
Three sizes,
one construction.
Our food bags share these dimensions exactly — the difference is print and finish, not size, so you can move between the two without re-speccing.

Inches first, metric in brackets. Height is measured to the top of the panel, excluding handles. Paper weight, handle load rating and case counts are quoted per run — ask us for the current production spec before you commit to artwork.
Where they go
Certified to compost,
where a facility exists.
A kraft bag will break down faster than almost anything else you hand a customer. That is not a reason to overstate what happens next.
Our carry bags are BPI Certified and listed under American Choice Paper Products in the institute’s public directory. Certification describes the product, not your city’s waste system — commercial composting is not available in every U.S. municipality, and we would rather you hear that from us than from a customer.
