What are twisted handle paper bags?

A twisted handle bag uses twisted paper cord handles glued inside the top. They spread the weight better than flat handles, so the bag is stronger and more comfortable to carry.

They're the go-to bag for delivery and larger orders, and they also give a more finished, retail-style look.

Who uses twisted handle bags?

Takeaways and restaurants with large or delivery orders, burger shops, and bakeries or cafés selling boxed cakes and retail items.
