WHY A NEW SHOPPER + MAILER 

CRP is proud to offer what no other US manufacturer can: revolutionary paper shopping bags and mailers with unmatched customization options. We are changing the thought process from “coloring within the lines” to rethinking the canvas completely. 

Until now, traditional US-made paper bags have remained relatively unchanged for over 150 years. With cutting-edge machines located right here in the United States, we are challenging the status-quo in domestic paper bags with options typically available only in overseas factories. Our new bag offers you numerous functional and design options that, simply put, no one else in the US can. Our bag is also contemporary in shape and design, offering a refreshing twist. 

Let us help you compete in today’s retail environment by creating a one-of-a-kind customer experience that is better for the environment, operationally efficient, and custom built for you. 

With our new bags, YOU get to design what is in your brand’s best interest.

HIGHLY CUSTOMIZABLE

We want you to stand out and not be stuck ordering traditional standards. With the special features we offer, the possibilities are endless. While we do offer a range of standard sizes and papers, your options include custom sizes, turn tops, inside printing, specialty handles, die cut features and specialty papers, just to name a few.

AMERICAN MADE

We aim to set a new standard here in America. With a brand new facility located on the East Coast, we are proud to offer new bags – and jobs – made here in the United States of America. 

FASTER PRODUCTION

We want modern technology to improve packaging. With a maximum production capacity of 214 bags per minute, our paper bag conversion machines run approximately 187% faster than traditional machines. Additionally, with our new technology, we can quickly move from job-to-job in under an hour, while other manufacturers may take up to 8 hours to transition. 

LESS SPACE

Maximize the space you have. When folded flat, traditional paper bags have as many as 12 layers of paper at any given point. Our bags use only 4 layers of paper, offering extensive shipping and storage benefits, in your warehouse and on your store shelves.

LESS PAPER

Use less and achieve more. Our bags require less paper than comparable volume traditional paper bags. This is achieved by our unique design and reduced need for overlapping material on the base. 

8 COLOR PRESS

In today’s retail environment, flexibility is king. With our state-of-the-art Flexographic 8-color +1 UV printing press, we offer a wide range of print capabilities, including printing inside the bag or on the handles, full matte or gloss varnish, full or spot UV varnish, water-based inks, metallic and luminous / fluorescent inks and more!

THE SHOPPER

Our revolutionary shopper is disrupting the American packaging industry with its unique shape and endless customization potential. Thanks to our flexible in-line production process, the bag can be fitted with a wide range of options, including a turn-top edge, several different handle types (twisted, cotton, flat, punch, etc.), curved edges, the ability to die cut anywhere on the bag for art or logo treatments.
