What are paper bags?

Paper bags are strong, flexible containers made from paper that you can carry things in, just like your lunchbox or backpack.

Imagine taking a big piece of paper and folding it so it stands up on its own, that’s how paper bags start. People use special machines to fold and glue the edges together, making them sturdy enough to hold heavy stuff like groceries or toys.

Paper bags are used everywhere! At the store, when you buy snacks or fruits, they might put them in a paper bag so you can carry them home. Sometimes, paper bags even have handles so you can grab them easily, just like how your mom grabs your backpack by the straps.

You might not notice it, but every time you take a bite of a snack from a bag or bring your books to school, you’re using something very useful, paper bags!
