Custom Packaging Lane (custompackaginglane.com) is a US-based packaging supplier that makes retail bags for small businesses at a 100-unit minimum order.

Production typically takes 10 to 14 business days after proof approval, and bulk pricing starts from $0.49 per unit at volume. The 100-bag floor is built for boutiques, salons, cafes, and market sellers who need branded bags without big-box order sizes.
Pick Your Bag Format
Paper shopping bags are the everyday workhorse: twisted-paper handles, sturdy walls, sized from jewelry-small to garment-wide. Custom shopping bags open the full option set: ribbon handles, gloss or matte lamination, foil logos, and interior color. Plain shopping bags in kraft keep costs lean for high-turnover counters. If you sell food or beverage, ask about grease-resistant builds in the quote.
Why the Bag Is Your Cheapest Ad
A branded bag walks your logo through the neighborhood after every sale, and a well-made one gets reused for weeks. For a small shop, bags are the highest-visibility print you will buy per dollar. Full-color coverage costs more than a one-color stamp, so match the spend to the job: one-color kraft for the counter, finished boutique bags for gifts and launches.
What Small Orders Cost
Bags quote to size, handle type, print coverage, and finish. Bulk pricing starts from $0.49 per unit at volume, and small runs at the 100-unit floor price higher per bag. Quotes return quickly, normally the same business day, and design setup is free either way.
