Kraft Carriers Ireland: Small–XL Internal Handle Sizes & Wholesale Buying Guide
Kraft carriers are the everyday brown paper bags Irish cafés, takeaways and retailers hand customers at the till. Pick the wrong footprint and drinks tip, meal boxes jam, or you burn through XL stock when Medium would have done — and staff notice both.
This guide explains how to buy kraft carriers in Ireland as plain wholesale stock — Small to XL internal-handle sizes, how case packs fit weekly ordering, when to stay plain versus print a logo bag, and how PrintNPack's handled carrier bags range works with tiered case pricing and delivery from Ashbourne.
Why Irish cafés and takeaways buy plain kraft carriers by the case
Plain kraft carriers are warehouse stock: order by the case, no artwork proof, no print lead time. That matters when a Dublin coffee shop needs bags before Saturday brunch, or a Cork takeaway restocks before a match-day rush. The brown kraft look already reads as food-friendly; branding can sit on a sticker, napkin or receipt instead of every bag.
PrintNPack holds internal-handle kraft carriers from Small through XL under Handled Carrier Bags, plus close Medium and Large sizes under Bags. Orders ship nationwide; local buyers can collect from Ashbourne, Co. Meath. For logo print on high-visibility bags, compare flat handle paper bags and twisted handle paper bags.
Kraft carrier sizes at a glance
Match the bag to what leaves the counter most often — a single hot drink, a sandwich plus side, or a multi-box takeaway. Use the table below, then confirm live case tiers on each product page.
| Size | Dimensions | Case pack | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small internal handle | 190 × 80 × 250 mm | 250 per case | Single drinks, small bakery bags, light retail |
| Medium internal handle | 220 × 100 × 240 mm | 250 per case | Café takeaway, sandwich + drink, everyday retail |
| Large internal handle | 260 × 140 × 290 mm | 250 per case | Multi-item takeaway, deli bags, gift and grocery loads |
| XL internal handle | 320 × 240 × 320 mm | 200 per case | Bulkier meal bags, larger retail carriers |
Small to XL: how buyers choose
Small (190×80×250 mm) covers single drinks, pastry bags and light retail — useful for café counters that do not want a Medium bag swallowing one cup. Medium (220×100×240 mm on the Handled Carrier Bags line; a close 220×100×250 mm Medium also sits under Bags) is the workhorse for sandwich-plus-drink and everyday takeaway.
Large (260×140×290 mm, with a close 250×140×300 mm Large under Bags) suits multi-item meals, deli bags and gift-style retail loads. XL (320×240×320 mm, 200 per case) is for bulkier meal bags and larger shopping carriers — keep it as a minority size unless your menu regularly needs the footprint.
Handled Carrier Bags also includes Small and Medium kraft bags with external handles (about 7×10.5×9″ and 8.5×13×10″, 250 per case). Those suit buyers who prefer an external handle feel; internal-handle carriers give a cleaner rim and a strong lift on denser takeaway loads.
A practical starter pack for most Irish cafés and takeaways is two cases of Medium, one case of Large, and a single case of Small for drinks-only — then add XL only when the order book proves the need. That mix covers weekday coffee runs and weekend meal bags without overfilling the dry store.
Plain kraft carriers vs custom printed bags
These kraft carriers are plain wholesale — natural brown kraft with no logo print. That keeps MOQ at a case and restocking fast for Galway weekend prep or Ashbourne collection. Branding usually sits on a sticker, napkin or receipt rather than on every carrier.
If you need a printed face on high-visibility carry-out, use flat handle paper bags, twisted handle paper bags or SOS grab bags. The usual Irish mix is plain kraft carriers for volume days plus a printed bag line for brand moments.
Case packs, MOQ and how pricing works
Small, Medium and Large internal-handle kraft carriers pack as 250 per case. XL packs as 200 per case. All lines use four-tier volume pricing — more cases lower the price per case. There is no custom-print MOQ on these plain lines.
Always check the live tier table on each product in Handled Carrier Bags or Bags — we do not reprint one-off unit rates here because case tiering is how wholesale buyers save money. A single-site café often starts on 1–3 cases of Medium; multi-site groups consolidate into higher tiers across Small, Large and XL.
