Your Trusted & Leading Paper Bag Manufacturer & Supplier
KD & Co. is a trusted manufacturer of twisted paper rope handles designed to fit paper bags being used in e-commerce, retail, gifting, and boutique packaging in India. We have our production plant in India, where we manage all levels of production, including sourcing of kraft paper, twisting, dyeing, and finishing of our ropes. This end-to-end control allows us to have strict tolerances on the thickness, strength, and color uniformity through each run of production. Our system is designed to handle an unlimited amount of orders, whether it is a one-time order of a few thousand units or a regular monthly order. Bag manufacturers, printers, and retail brands count on us to provide rope handles that stand up under the conditions of actual use, yet maintain the packaging cost predictable.
KD & Co. is an Indian manufacturer and supplier of twisted paper rope handles in 120 mm, 150 mm and custom sizes to use in retail, e-commerce, gifting, boutiques, and other paper bag uses.
KD & Co. produces standard 120 mm and 150 mm length paper bag handles and custom lengths of bag handles depending on bag design and packaging needs.
Yes. Handles are composed of twisted kraft paper rope and have tensile strength, twist tightness and finishing quality tests to ensure that they can handle normal retail and e-commerce bag loads.
As one of the established Twisted Paper Rope Handles manufacturers in India, KD & Co. manufactures handles out of twisted kraft paper rope that is chosen due to its tensile strength and clean, smooth finish. Each batch is subjected to diameter inspection, twist-tightness inspection, and color matching inspection before it is packaged. Being known as one of the twisted paper rope producers in India means being sensitive to the standards of raw materials, as even the slightest differences in the GSM of the paper can impact the performance of a handle when it is installed on a bag. We produce handles that fit both lightweight shopping bags and heavier-duty carrier bags, and therefore all packaging brands will have the same strength and look, no matter the size of the order or the type of bag.
The process of production starts with the sourcing of high-quality kraft paper, which is slit into thin strips and twisted under conditions of controlled tension to make the paper bag handle rope. Much of the final strength of the handle depends on the twisting stage, and to this effect machines are adjusted to maintain consistent tension and twists per reel. Handles are next cut to length, a few eyelets or knots are placed on them as needed, and their uniform thickness and color are checked. Any load that does not pass our internal strength or appearance test is segregated prior to packaging, and this ensures that the quality in any particular order is sustained regardless of whether the order is a small test run or a large-scale production run.
Each paper bag handle rope passing out of our facility is subject to tensile strength, twist tightness, and color uniformity checks against a set point of each specification. Each production lot has sample handles that are pull tested to ensure that they can accommodate normal bag loads without becoming loose at the knot or eyelet. Batches of color are compared to approved shade references to ensure repeat orders are the same as the previous deliveries, an important consideration in branded bags with printed designs. This is a uniform testing step used on the 120 mm and 150 mm paper bag handle ranges as well as any custom specification, making quality not dependent on the size of the order or the type of handle.

The 120 mm paper bag handle is suitable for small bags like boutique or jewelry packaging, whereas the 150 mm paper bag handle fits larger retail and e-commerce bags, which require additional length of grip. The same twisted paper rope construction applies to both sizes; thus, brands can standardize on the quality of the rope but select the length of the handle depending on the size of the bag.
We make our twisted paper rope handles to a couple of standards:
Kraft paper rope is a material that is naturally biodegradable, and as such, twisted paper rope handles are a convenient solution to brands that are abandoning the use of plastic handles and straps. Although the rope is paper-based, due to the twisting process, the rope has sufficient tensile strength to support the daily retail load without snapping or stretching under normal conditions. The environmental advantage is not at the expense of performance because we test strength against normal bag weights before any specification is finalized. In the case of brands that brand their packaging as environmentally friendly, twisted paper rope handles serve as a simple solution to minimizing the amount of plastic, without altering the method of usage and transportation of a bag.
The twisted paper rope handles are applied far beyond the normal shopping bags. They are used by e-commerce brands on mailers and carrier bags, which should be able to withstand transit and the final mile delivery. Bakeries, gift stores, and boutiques enjoy them in smaller bags where appearance and touch feel just as important as power. The retailers of garments and footwear adopt the 150 mm length of paper bag handle to larger carriers requiring additional clearance. Since the handle rope on a paper bag is available in dyed or undyed options, the same base product can be used to fit high-end retail packaging and low-end functional bags, without a dedicated production line per application.
The direct approach to a manufacturer eliminates the time and markup associated with sourcing through intermediaries. Wholesale orders to retail chains, exporters, and packaging companies are comfortably covered by our production capacity, and thus supply is never a bottleneck during peak seasons. Regardless of the size of the order, each order passes through the identical quality tests of rope thickness and twist and finish. Since manufacturing and quality control take place on the same roof, we can change specs rapidly when a client requires a new handle length, color, or finish on a new bag design, without the lead times associated with multi-vendor supply chains.
In addition to the production, KD & Co. operates as one of the reliable Twisted Paper Rope Handle suppliers in India, assisting bag manufacturers, exporters, and retail brands with reliable delivery time schedules. The supply arrangement that we have in place is capable of managing small batches of trials as well as large quantities of periodic dispatches without delays that are experienced in multi-layered supply chains. We are also the active manufacturers of twisted paper rope in India and incorporate in-house production with organized logistics, the result of which is that we offer the same level of stock and lead times to clients in various states. This manufacturer-supplier relationship eliminates the additional markup that usually accompanies the purchase of packaging products via distributors, providing packaging businesses with a more direct path to obtaining paper bag handle rope.
We have a dispatch network that is designed in such a way that it reaches our clients in India without involving the use of several middlemen between the factory and the consumer. Both 120mm and 150mm paper bag handle stock levels are kept at a level that facilitates repeat orders without necessarily having to wait long. On wholesale orders, we will schedule production to avoid the volume orders affecting delivery of other orders in progress. The packaging is also meant to maintain the handles in order and clean throughout the transportation process, as rope twists and finish quality may be compromised by rough handling. This care in logistics is what makes us have repeat clients who order their products with us.
It is easy to start; you just need to provide the length of the handle, color, and quantity that you require, and we will specify and provide pricing on both trial and wholesale orders. The first time customers can order a small sample batch to test the rope thickness, color, and finish, then commit to a production run. After confirming specifications, we plan our production and deliver to you according to your schedule requirements and keep you informed at every point. With clients whose needs are recurrent, we store their specifications on our system, and this saves time when they need an order to be repeated and also helps prevent mismatched color or size when delivering the product again.
Our supply process is differentiated in a number of ways:
A standard handle is not necessary in all bag designs. We collaborate with customers to customize the rope thickness, twist tightness, color, and finishing style to suit certain packaging needs. Brands that would wish to have a uniform experience of unboxing their products can have their handles privately labelled and custom packaged. In the case of bag manufacturers testing a new design, then we can make smaller sample batches, and then only after trials can we commit to a full production run, which will lower the risk of introducing a new paper bag handle rope specification. This is offered in the 120 mm and 150 mm handle series and in any shape of length.
Whether you need twisted paper rope handles on a new line of packaging, or you need to change suppliers to get more consistent KD & Co. can facilitate both the manufacturing process and the continued supply at one point of contact. Provide details of your necessary handle length, color, and the number of orders required, and our team will confirm specifications, lead times, and pricing and can provide wholesale options. Between the first sample and repeat bulk dispatch, we aim at ensuring that your production of paper bags continues without any delays caused by handles.
