PAPER SHOPPING BAGS
[CODE NO. 3111]  

Paper bags are the oldest types of packaging  material  and are  very  much prevelant in the modern days in  various  fields. Infact,  paper bag is one of  the most common and popular form  of packaging.  The hand made bags of paper have been a commodity  of common   use.   However,  for  the  manufacture  of  bags,   the introduction of machines is of recent origin about the middle  of 19th  century.   Since  then the manufacture of  paper  bags  has become an important industry in itself, paper bag is the cheapest form of packaging.  

Such paper bags have the speciality that they are light weight, free from any contaminants like dust, and  are, as well, free from shifting or 'puffing'
which results in loss of contents.   As  for  the share occupying  these  paper  bags  for general  use  require  minimum possible  space  for  storage  and shipment,   both   before  and  after  filling.    However,   one disadvantage  of  the paper bags is that they  are  not  durable. Though  the  strength  of  the paper bags  can  be  increased by lamination   of  the  base  paper  with  jute,  scrim  or   other reinforcing  materials, this however, increases the cost  of  the bag by making it more expensive.
     
Paper bags are made from a variety of papers both bleached and imbleached.

However for making of the paper bags for general use, kraft paper and initation kraft paper are the most common papers used. Papers most commonly used for commercial and office invelopes include manilla, brown wrapping paper or white  papers. The type of paper used for bags depends upon the requirements of the   product  to be packed.  Kraft paper used for bag  making  is usually of 20 to 40 lbs basis weight.

Paper industry in India is the 15th largest paper industry in the world. It provides employment to nearly 1.5 million people and contributes Rs 25 billion to the government's kitty. The government regards the paper industry as one of the 35 high priority industries of the country Due to tough economic times, most major food stuff manufacturers are becoming particular how they package their products. A casual glance at the isles at the supermarket will tell you that most food is packaged in plastic or paper bags. For decades, plastic bags have competed toe-to-toe with paper bags, from the manufacturing plants to the retail supermarkets. In many countries now especially the United States, shoppers at local super markets and retail chains offer their customers the option to have their products bagged in plastic or paper. While many customer still value plastic because of its durability, water-resistant nature and also
the fact that it is extremely reusable, paper bags are also wildly popular. One of the reasons why paper bags are popular is because of safety. Plastic bags
have been responsible for many deaths especially for small children. This is because children are fond of playing with plastic bags and one of the ways in
which they do this is to place the bags over their heads. In the event that the child is unable to free themselves fast enough, death by suffocation can occur.

This is one major reason why shoppers prefer paper bags to plastic bags.
