Rope-Handle Paper Bags
Rope-handle bags are what APD has made for three decades. Braided cotton rope, colour-matched, knotted inside the bag and set through reinforced eyelets.
Quote this product
Rope handles read as premium because they feel substantial in the hand and hold their shape when the bag is empty. They also carry more weight than a ribbon handle, which matters for hotels selling bottles, ceramics or hampers.
We hold a wide standing range of rope colours and can dye to match a brand colour where a run justifies it. Knot style, rope diameter and drop length are all specified per project rather than defaulted.
