Duro Bag, known for its iconic brown paper grocery bags, is a historical brand in the American packaging industry. Founded in 1957, the brand is celebrated for pioneering sustainable paper bag solutions long before they became a modern environmental standard. Its products, like the 1/6 bbl handle-up bags shown, are ubiquitous in retail environments across North America.

Over the decades, the brand underwent significant corporate transitions. In 2014, Duro Bag was acquired by Hilex Poly, which subsequently formed Novolex. Under Novolex’s ownership, the brand has expanded its manufacturing footprint, utilizing a vast network of facilities primarily located across the United States to meet large-scale commercial demand. The brand focuses heavily on recycled content, aligning with global sustainability initiatives.
