Our Story

India's leading paper bag manufacturer since 2002.

Kagazkaar was founded by 3 college friends in 2002 with a singular mission: to provide India's retailers with a high-quality, environmentally responsible alternative to plastic bags.

In 2002, we were the first to introduce twisted handle paper bags in India, manufacturing them on fully integrated bag-making machines with inline handle application technology.

Today, with manufacturing units in Kolkata and Daman, we have the capacity to produce around 60 million paper bags, supplying to customers across the globe.
