Why Choose GIMEX Bags? Durability, Recyclability and Innovation for Professionals

Professional packaging does more than simply carry a product. It needs to be durable, practical, attractive and suited to the specific needs of each business. Since 1991, GIMEX International has been supporting professionals with a wide range of kraft paper bags, customizable packaging and innovative solutions.

Whether you are a wine merchant, retailer, restaurant owner, artisan or event professional, choosing the right packaging plays an essential role in protecting your products and enhancing your brand image.

Discover what makes GIMEX packaging stand out.

1. Durable Kraft Paper Bags Designed for Professional Needs

Durability is a key factor when choosing professional packaging. High-quality bags must allow products to be transported safely without compromising their presentation.

At GIMEX, our professional kraft paper bags are selected and designed to meet a wide variety of needs, including bottle transportation, takeaway services, retail shopping, gift packaging and food products.

Depending on the product, several features contribute to their strength and reliability:

• Kraft paper in different weights, suited to various transportation requirements.

• Flat, twisted paper or rope handles, depending on the model.

• Reinforced bottoms and structures on selected collections.

• Sizes designed to accommodate the volume and weight of the products being carried.

Some GIMEX shopping bags can carry up to 10 kg, while other models are designed to support loads of 3, 5 or 6 kg.

Each product has its own technical specifications. Choosing the right paper weight, dimensions and handles ensures that your packaging is perfectly suited to your business needs.

2. Recyclable Paper Bags and an Eco-Design Approach

As environmental concerns continue to grow, professionals are looking for packaging solutions that combine functionality, quality and more responsible resource management.

For several years, GIMEX has been developing an eco-design approach to packaging, particularly through the selection of raw materials and the evolution of its collections.

Many GIMEX kraft paper bags are recyclable, and some are made from recycled paper.

This commitment is reflected in several initiatives:

Using recycled materials

Selected collections incorporate kraft paper containing recycled fibers, with proportions varying depending on the product.

Developing 100% paper bags

Through collections such as Lupuna and Natural White, GIMEX focuses on designs that incorporate more paper-based components to make end-of-life management easier.

Improving materials and finishes

Reducing certain plastic components, laminations and complex materials helps move packaging towards simpler designs.

Encouraging bag reuse

Depending on their design and condition, many durable bags can be kept and reused by customers to carry future purchases.

These initiatives are part of the GIMEX Green approach, which aims to progressively integrate environmental considerations into packaging development.

Recyclability, material composition and waste sorting instructions depend on each individual product.

3. A Wide Range of Bags for Every Professional Sector

Every business has its own requirements, products and expectations when it comes to packaging and presentation.

That is why GIMEX offers over 500 products in stock, with a wide variety of sizes, materials, colors and finishes.

Our main packaging solutions include:

Bottle Bags for Wine Merchants and Wineries

Designed for transporting and presenting wine, champagne and spirits, these bags come in various sizes, from single-bottle bags to multi-bottle packaging, with or without a window.

Shopping Bags for Retailers and Brands

Available in brown, white, black or colored kraft paper, depending on the collection, these bags are ideal for carrying clothing, accessories, cosmetics, gifts and many other products.

Food Packaging Bags for Food Professionals

Designed to meet the needs of delicatessens, chocolatiers, pastry shops, caterers and food retailers, these bags come in different formats, with specific features depending on the food products being packaged.

Window Bags to Showcase Your Products

Featuring a transparent window, these bags allow customers to see the contents of the packaging. They are particularly suitable for gourmet gift sets, bottles and gift arrangements.

Luxury Paper Bags and Gift Packaging

With their carefully crafted finishes, rope handles and a choice of paper weights, these bags help create a more premium shopping experience.

This extensive selection allows professionals to choose packaging that is both functional and consistent with their brand positioning.

4. Customizable Packaging to Strengthen Your Brand Identity

A shopping bag is often the final item handed to a customer before they leave a store. However, its role does not end when the customer walks out.

A personalized bag featuring your logo becomes a powerful marketing tool.

It accompanies your customers, extends their shopping experience and increases your company's visibility.

GIMEX offers several customization solutions tailored to professional needs:

• Printing of logos and brand identities.

• Screen printing for selected small and medium production runs.

• Hot foil stamping for premium finishes.

• Fully bespoke packaging design.

• A choice of materials, colors, handles and dimensions depending on your project.

For selected bottle bags, express customization is available from just 500 units, thanks to a screen-printing workshop based in France.

Whether you want to promote a winery, retail store, hotel or special event, customized packaging helps create a distinctive and recognizable brand identity.

5. Innovation at the Heart of GIMEX: Original and Protected Designs

For more than 35 years, innovation has played an important role in GIMEX's history.

The company does more than distribute packaging. It also designs and develops original concepts to meet emerging market needs.

Window Bags: A Long-Standing Innovation

As early as 1999, GIMEX developed its first window bags for bottles. Their original design, combining bottle protection with visibility of the label, was the subject of a patent filing.

This innovation enhances bottle presentation while maintaining the practical benefits of a carrying bag.

Ice.bag®: An Iconic Creation

In 2006, GIMEX created Ice.bag®, a flexible and portable bottle cooler that has become a recognized product in the wine and events industries.

The concept is simple: add a bottle, water and ice cubes to cool your drink quickly, directly at the table or during a wine tasting.

Reusable, lightweight and customizable, Ice.bag® demonstrates GIMEX's ability to turn an original idea into a practical solution for professionals.

Collections That Evolve with Customer Needs

Other creations reflect this commitment to innovation, including Lupuna, Natural White and Lady Belle, a shoulder bag inspired by the world of leather goods.

The goal remains the same: to combine design, functionality and evolving materials to create packaging that meets market expectations.
