Depending on the size, material and construction of the bag, standard models can typically carry approximately 4–5 kg, provided the weight is evenly distributed throughout the bag.

HOW IS GREATER STRENGTH ACHIEVED IN PAPER BAG MANUFACTURING?

Greater strength in paper bag manufacturing is achieved through the use of high-quality materials, the appropriate paper thickness and type, as well as additional reinforcement of critical areas. All Claryx paper bags are reinforced in the bottom and handle areas with sturdy cardboard inserts that improve stability and load-bearing capacity.
