SOS Paper Bags
An SOS bag (also called a self-opening satchel) is a flat-bottom paper bag that opens automatically and stands upright when filled, making it the fastest bag to use at high-volume checkouts. J K Industries makes SOS bags in Valsad, Gujarat, India in brown and white kraft (60–90 GSM). Suitable for grocery stores, pharmacies, bakeries and convenience outlets. Food-grade paper and oil-resistant options available. MOQ 2,000 units.
