In most cases, paper grocery bags are made from recycled paper, which is gathered and processed in a recycling paper mill. In rare cases, the paper is created from fresh paper pulp, which is essentially thin shavings of wood from trees. This pulp is put through various mechanical and chemical processes to achieve a certain color and weight of paper. The paper has to be debarked, de-inked and cleaned numerous times to achieve a quality and professional look.

Paper grocery bag construction starts with paper selection. The size of the bag and the amount of weight it is intended to hold determine the thickness of the paper. Two- and three-ply paper is common for heavy-duty bags. Custom bags can be created to hold from a half a pound to 40 pounds. To create a bag 10 inches by 3 inches by 5 inches capable of holding 12 pounds, start with 40 pound brown paper. Kraft paper, the same type used to wrap shipping packages, is used to make grocery bags. Labels or logos are either painted or stamped on the paper once it is rolled out. The paper is cut to the necessary dimensions (31 inches by 22 inches). Some grocery bags also have a thumb notch cut into one side to allow for easy opening.
