In this blog post I’m sharing three easy packaging ideas created from paper bags.
Two are created from paper lunch bags and one from a paper grocery bag.
The first packaging idea created from a lunch bag is perfect for homemade greeting cards, hot cocoa & candy cane, etc.
- Paper Lunch Bag: 5-1/8″ x 3-1/3″ x 10-5/8″
- Cardstock Topper: 5-1/8″ x 2″ score 2″ side at 1″
The second packaging idea created from a lunch bag is perfect for homemade cookies, candy & small gifts.
- Paper Lunch Bag: 5-1/8″ x 3-1/3″ x 10-5/8″ – with bottom folded score at 4″ & 4-3/4″
- Cardstock Pocket Layer: 5″ x 3″
- Cardstock Topper: 5-1/8″ x 2″ score 2″ side at 1″
The packaging idea created from a paper grocery bag has two pockets – one is flat for narrow items and the other is pleated for larger items.
- Trader Joe’s Paper Bag: with bottom folded score at 8-3/8″ & 9-3/4″
- Designer Paper (qty 2): 11-3/4″ x 6-3/4″
