Paper bags are further segmented by thickness of material used to produce paper bags products, namely 1 PLY, 2 PLY, and 3 PLY. 2-ply paper bags are currently leading the market because they find the right balance between strength, durability, and cost. Since 1-ply paper bags are used for lighter products, 2-ply bags have more durability without an extra cost, which makes them appropriate for a wide range of products from groceries to fashion items. Strong yet environment-friendly production options in using recycled materials will help attract retailers and environmentally aware consumers. Although 3-ply bags are stiffer, the higher production cost limits its use only to special applications. The bottom line is that 2-ply paper bags would still be the best available for most packaging needs given the right balance of strength, sustainability, and cost.
The paper bag market is also segmented based on material used to produce paper bags products such as brown craft paper, and white kraft paper. Brown kraft paper is preferred due to its strength and durability besides being eco-friendly for packing products such as groceries and food products. It is an unbleached wood-pulp paper, which also is a biodegradable material. White kraft paper is less durable but is preferred for premium packaging, such as luxury goods and custom-printed bags. Its smooth surface enhances print quality, making it ideal for branding and design. Both materials are chosen based on packaging requirements, balancing durability, appearance, and sustainability.
