Duro 70# Large Brown Paper Shopping Bags with Handles Bulk, 300 Pcs 12x7x17 - Heavy Duty Restaurant Takeout/To Go Bags, Delis, & Retail Merchandise

UPDATE 3/16/15 - The handles are a little sketchy once you load up a couple pounds, but I assume that's the case with any paper bag. I collected canned food and could load up about 10 cans before I started feeling like I needed to hold the bottom of the bag to prevent ripping.ORIGINAL REVIEW >>> I didn't realize how large of a box it would be, but either way.. It was perfectly packaged and all bags seem to be in great condition. They're sturdy and the handles serve well.I'm using these to collect food donations at work. I really only needed about 75-100, but figure I can use the remaining bags for groceries/sorting then donate whatever I don't use to a local food bank.I did see a retailer with similar bags in the same quantity for much less, however, the ones I ordered from this seller are closer to the grocery standard (as far as size is concerned) and worked better for the purpose I needed them.

We use these bags for our food pantry and these are always the best value. We've ordered multiple times from Supply Stacker. One time we had a slight problem with an order, and the company called directly and bent over backwards to fix the situation. Highly recommend this company!

I bought these for one of two food banks I try to support. With Covid raging, the food banks need all the help they can get. The demand for their services has tripled-- if not more. They need bags with handles to pack the food in for recipients to carry. I assume these worked just fine for their purpose.My only problem with them is that one month later, almost to the day, I wanted to buy more for the other food bank, which was also in need of bags again. However, I didn't buy these. The price had jumped +59%. That's ridiculous! Money spent on bags is money not spent on food for those in need. It took a few hours, but I finally found a bag that was considerable cheaper, still met environmental bans against plastic bags, had handles, squared off bottoms for ease of packing and would carry about the same amount of food. If you can afford to pay this price for paper grocery bags, to the best of my knowledge these are good ones. I can't. I'd rather feed the people than give them this grocery bag. I don't know if raw materials prices have gone up or if this is price gouging due to the increased demand. The need by the food bank as gone way up, as well as, people ordering groceries & doing curbside pick ups who might otherwise use re-useable bags for their groceries &/ or eat out buying fewer groceries. Yes, supply & demand enters into pricing but +59%? And to think... the govt. keeps telling us there is no inflation!

They good heavy bags the only negative thing is they stick together and when you pull them apart the can tear.

Liked the thickness and sturdiness because we pack bags at my foodbank

The paper wrapping on this huge bundle of bags was completely ripped open, but at least the whole thing was placed inside a box (which I wasn't able to lift or move by myself). While taking the bags out to store them elsewhere, I noticed there were many bags that weren't glued properly on the back, leaving the bag pretty much useless it was re-glued or taped up. If it were just a few bags in this condition, it wouldn't be a problem, but without actually counting them, I'd guess that at least 2 out of every 10 bags were improperly glued. I got these to use to take my recycling, so taping them won't be a huge issue, but if I were a business owner getting these to put merchandise in, I'd be really angry. On the plus side, they are a good size and heavy weight so if they were made better, this would be a good purchase.

Does the job!

It is sturdy nicely and strong enough carrying heavy pieces of stuff.
