The Flat Bag

Description

Handmade in Christchurch, New Zealand, this reusable flat paper bag is built for everyday use. It’s crafted from washable kraft paper and designed to last—an eco-conscious alternative to single-use plastic and paper bags.

Use it to carry sandwiches, baked goods, dried fruit, crackers, wraps, or that infamous cheese scone. Whether you’re packing lunch, snacks, or something from your local café, the reusable flat paper bag keeps things simple, sustainable, and tidy.

Cleaning is easy: brush out the crumbs, wipe off any stickies, or toss it into the washing machine for a deeper clean.

Every bag is handmade with care—and $1 from each one sold goes directly toward supporting mental health initiatives in our community.

♻️ A practical, sustainable step away from throwaway culture.

❓ FAQs

How do I clean the bag?
Just wipe it down, brush out the crumbs, or pop it in the washing machine—any cycle works. It air-dries best.

Can I use it for hot or wet food?
These bags are ideal for dry or slightly moist food. They’re not fully waterproof, so hot soups or curries aren’t a match.

How long will it last?
With proper care, your reusable flat paper bag can last for years—even with daily use. Customers regularly tell us theirs are still going strong after hundreds of uses.

Is it food-safe?
Yes! All materials are food-grade safe, free of nasties, and chosen with both durability and your health in mind.
