Duro 16 lb Natural Kraft Paper Bags – sturdy 40 lb basis weight grocery bags perfect for larger items, bulk orders, and retail takeout. Built from 100% recycled kraft paper with 60% post-consumer recycled content, these Standard Duty Duro bags deliver reliable protection for everything from fresh produce and liquor bottles to bakery items and deli selections. At 7¾" × 4-13/16" × 16", the rectangular base allows bags to stand upright for fast, easy packing—ideal for restaurants, delis, grocery stores, and retail shops throughout Delaware and Maryland. Made in America, BPI certified compostable, and PFAS-free.

Heavy-Duty Capacity for Larger Orders & Bulk Purchases

The 16# capacity handles full deli orders, bulk groceries, multi-item takeout, and heavy liquor bottles with confidence. The 40 lb basis weight provides superior durability compared to lighter bags—no tearing, no splitting, no customer frustration on the register line. Duro bags earn their reputation in high-volume food service operations where bag failure costs money and damages your reputation.

Rectangular Base for Fast, Efficient Packing

The flat, rectangular bottom allows bags to stand upright and open naturally without assistance—cashiers can pack faster without struggling to hold the bag open. This practical design cuts checkout friction and improves the customer experience. The spacious 4-13/16" gusset width accommodates varied items and larger products without crushing, and the tall 16" height handles wine bottles, tall takeout containers, and oversized deli items with ease.

100% Recycled Kraft Paper—Professional & Eco-Friendly

Made from 100% recycled kraft paper with 60% post-consumer content and FSC certified, these Duro bags signal your commitment to sustainability without compromise. BPI certified for commercial composting and fully recyclable. In a competitive market where eco-consciousness is a purchasing factor, offering Duro recycled bags builds customer loyalty and differentiates your business. The natural brown kraft color is professional, classic, and works with any brand identity or logo stamp.

Made in America – Quality & Sustainability

Manufactured in the USA with no intentionally added PFAS substances, these Duro bags meet the highest food service standards. The sturdy kraft construction prevents grease leakage and handles wet or oily foods without deterioration. Top edges can be rolled down for extra protection, or bags can stand open as-is during checkout—versatility built in.
