Paper & Bag MillsRequest a quote
Since 1922, we’ve been making paper work for our customers.
Stonehouse Paper & Bag Mills is an independent family business in Gloucestershire. We make paper bags, sacks, sleeves, pockets, sheets, rolls and other converted formats to suit the job.
Different products.
Different pressures.
A bag for a metal component has a different job from one used for food or retail. Tell us what is going inside, how it will be packed and where it is going. We can then recommend a suitable format and paper.
Food & produce
Bags, sheets and grease-resistant papers made around the product and packing method.
Retail & hospitality
Carrier bags, counter bags and printed formats for goods customers take away.
Makers & manufacturers
Non-standard sizes and practical production runs for products that do not fit an off-the-shelf pack.
What we make
Choose a starting point. Each format can be made to the dimensions, paper and finish agreed for your order, with print available where required.
The right paper starts with the job.

Strong, familiar brown kraft with a visible fibre.
02
Coloured Kraft
Kraft paper specified in coloured grades.
03
Glassine
Smooth, translucent paper for seeing what is inside.
04

Plain or printed. The format stays practical.
Many of our paper bags and converted formats can be supplied plain or printed. Send us your artwork, colours and intended print area, and we’ll check what works with the paper and construction you need.
