What is Paper Bag Day?
Paper Bag Day celebrates the humble, versatile paper bag and its role as an eco-friendly alternative to plastic. It honors the innovations that made it a daily essential—Charles Stilwell's 1852 bag-making machine and his 1883 square-bottom design, later improved with handles by Margaret Knight and Walter Deubener. The day encourages creative reuse and more sustainable packaging.
