Paper shopping bags have a large number of uses and are seen and used in almost every retail shop of any kind. Whenever you go shopping, it is more than likely that the store will rely on shopping bags made from paper as carriers for your purchases.
How are paper shopping bags differentiated from other bag types? They are all made purely from paper or perhaps some sort of material that has paper origins. Paper carriers are easily foldable and occupy little space, thus the favorable light it has with shopkeepers.
Why do shops and businesses still rely on shopping bags made from paper, considering the press given to keep things environmentally friendly? First of all, if you need to reduce business costs, ordering bags made from paper in bulk quantities is one of the cheapest, if not the cheapest, option. They're dirt cheap, and can cut costs of running your shops by a dramatic amount.
Furthermore, they are not as environmentally unfriendly as one might be led to believe. With modern technology, paper can be recycled easily. This is one way to ensure that fewer trees are being cut to provide more paper for various industries. You can help to do the same by asking customers to reuse their paper shopping bags. And if they are no longer usable, to either return them to you for recycling, or they can do so themselves. If you need to use any for your business, consider buying recycled bulk paper bags that not only saves you quite a bit on the company budget, but you are also doing your bit to help our ailing Earth.
Many businesses are also interested in printing their logos or include advertise on bags. Printing costs for such purposes on paper bags are very low, due to the ease and material required. It is hardly surprising then that paper shopping bags are still the tradition and rage despite the onset of plastic bags for many years.
For the customer, carrying paper bags after a shopping session (or even spree) can be much more manageable than other forms of bags. They're much lighter to carry. After use, you can easily fold them like folding paper (pardon the pun). And keep with the green movement by reusing them for other situations in the future. Need a carrier for your lunch box to work? Use the shopping bag you got the other day after shopping at the mall! Why not also use them as paper gift bags when giving away presents for your friends and relatives?
The best ideal to using them as environmentally friendly options is that paper bags are biodegradable. Thus easily recycled. And when broken down or thrown away, you will never realise that the paper shopping bag could actually contribute back to the eco system as it decomposes.
Another bright way of using them is to use them as alternatives to buying paper party bags or gift bags in bulk which may be cheap but is still a cost. Keep and collect the shopping bags that are accumulated after every trip to the mall, supermarket or otherwise. Pretty soon you might have a storeroom full of them. The individual unique designs that come printed on them are ideal for a fun filled atmosphere of a party for kids or adults.
So with paper shopping bags being incredibly cheap when produced and used in bulk, an acceptable option for eco-conscious groups and individuals, and having so many alternative uses after their initial usage, they should always be considered for any retail business, small to large scale.

Use Paper Bags And Their Advantages
With so much mainstream media concentrating on the disadvantages of using papers bags, many are wondering if they should continue using them, or whether there are any benefits to these paper bags which are recyclable and if they are useful at all. But there is also a lot of misinformation about them and one should know some facts too.
Paper bags have always been around since their invention, and will and shall be around for a long time yet. The paper bags that are most commonly used and seen are the ones in grocery stores, or gift bags, where they can come in printed format or just in plain white or brown colors. Take a look around you and it is evident that these useful items are still widely used and have their advantages.
Compared to other similar carriers, paper bags have one huge advantage over their competitors. They are very much cheaper, and are also reusable no matter which way you look at it. They might tear and get wet, but if you store them properly, what is to say that paper bags cannot be used over and over again?
Apart from using them to carry all sorts of items, papers bags can also be used in other situations. If you need extra wrapping material, just tear and spread up your extra paper bags and voila, wrappers are right there in an ingenious way. It is also interchangeable, as wrapping paper can be used to make bags.
If you need to carry water based materials or food that might bring about constant condensation such as fruits, get water proofed paper bags for use. Why rely on plastic bags which can be toxic, non-degradable, and more expensive? Water proof paper bags will certainly last a longer time too.
If there is one bad point about paper bags, it is that they can tear if not used properly. I have lost count the number of times I've seen smaller sized paper bags being used to carry heavy objects. What can you expect next? Be smart, and use things for what they are made for.
During the current economic downturn, it is also wise to rely more on paper products, since they cost much lesser than other counterparts. It might not be a bad idea to stock up on them, and you can easily find a vast number of wholesale paper bags being sold online. They are even cheaper than just relying on the ones accumulated through shopping trips.
When it comes to the green movement, paper bags and products overall are not that bad. You kill trees, but they are all recyclable. And they cost cheaper to recycle than plastic materials. The fact that they can now come in bio-degradable forms also means that paper bags are safe for the environment.
Other than white paper lunch bags, these carriers are also safer for use, especially for children and little tots. Kids love to play around with whatever they get their hands on, and they can't get in trouble with paper bags most of the time, compared to other types. You can even teach them about saving the environment by putting the bags to good use. You know how much children love to draw!
With the variety of uses, paper bags are still the best option for use in many situations. They come cheap, you can get them in bulk or free, and are user friendly while contributing to many needs.
