Pinch bottom paper bag sizes
A pinch bottom paper bag is the handle-less bag food is handed over in: a paper tube with the bottom folded over and glued. With side gussets it is a satchel bag, without them a flat bag. Here are sizes suppliers keep in stock, so you can start from one and make it yours.

Stock sizes of a few suppliers, not a standard: every maker's list is a little different. A gusset of 0 is a flat bag. Suppliers rarely say how they measure the gusset; here it is the side fold opened out.
One bag, several names
- United States: a pinch bottom bag or merchandise bag; food versions are sold as bread bags, sandwich bags and hoagie bags.
- United Kingdom: a flat bag or counter bag when it has no gussets, a satchel bag when it has a gusset on both sides. Bags sold threaded on a string are strung bags.
- Australia and New Zealand: flat bags and satchel bags, numbered by size (#1 satchel, #2 flat). A square-bottomed bag is an SOS bag there, so "satchel" alone means this one.
Paper
These bags are thin: most run on 35–50 g/m² paper, white or brown kraft for dry food, greaseproof for oily food, and foil-lined paper to keep food hot. In the US the usual stock is 30 lb paper.
