Made in the USA, on the record

Hemp Paper Company paper bags are made in the USA. Hemp Paper Company is registered in SAM.gov under UEI JXAHBG7HJMS5 and CAGE code 13PZ6, and holds NAICS code 322220, the federal classification for paper bag manufacturing.

That registration means federal agencies and their contractors can buy directly. Details are on the federal procurement page.

Why hemp instead of tree pulp

Hemp Paper Company's 70 GSM hemp paper bags are approximately 2× stronger than tree paper bags of the same weight, hold up to 20 pounds, and are backyard compostable.

Industrial hemp reaches harvest in about 120 days; a tree grown for pulp takes decades. Every 1,000 Hemp Paper Company hemp paper bags keeps approximately one tree standing. The fiber-by-fiber comparison is in Hemp 101.

Certification you can check yourself

Hemp Paper Company's hemp paper bags are USDA Certified Biobased at 100% biobased content, verified by ASTM D6866 radiocarbon testing rather than self-declared. The listing sits in the federal USDA BioPreferred catalog, where any buyer can open and read it.
