Paper Transport Bags

Vela Bags, Transparent Paper Bags to Replace Polybags

Our paper-based transport bags are the perfect sustainable, peel and seal alternative to single-use plastic poly bags. Keep your garments and other products free of dirt, dust, and moisture during transit. Vela^™ paper bags are transparent enough for manual barcode scanning and feature a full-width adhesive strip and concealed vent holes for easy and efficient packaging.

Vela^™ offers various sustainability benefits compared to single-use poly bags; they are curbside recyclable, FSC^® certified, and directly fund ocean research and conservation programs through our “Sea the Difference” initiative.

Made of Paper

Designed to be recycled.

Vela™ paper transport bags are the embodiment of sustainability and functionality. Designed to be recycled, they take a stand against single-use plastic and contribute to the efforts towards a more sustainable planet. Their construction from recyclable materials not only reduces waste but also promotes a circular economy, where resources are used, recycled, and reused to their maximum potential.

Vela bags are FSC^® certified and designed to be recycled. It's time to ditch the single-use poly bags for Vela^™ – the paper alternative.

Custom Printing

Custom print your sustainability story.

Vela^™ bags are the perfect canvas to share your brand’s sustainability story with your customers. Our stock bags are minimally designed, allowing space for post-printers to add your messaging right on top.

For larger brands who need transport bags at scale, we offer custom printing (1-color single-sided) and additional custom sizes. Share your story how it was meant to be shared with custom printing.

Sea The Difference

Supporting our oceans through research.

A portion of every Vela^™ bag sold is donated to ocean-friendly organizations Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium and One Ocean Foundation – supporting critical ocean research and conservation programs.

All stock Vela^™ paper bags are pre-printed with our Sea the Difference badge, and we invite brands to include this badge on custom printed Vela^™ bags to show their support of critical ocean research and conservation programs.
