The Swedbag family in our factory

Swedbag’s history is rooted in a traditional family-owned company in a business that has grown over the years. This is borne out by the feeling of a family firm that runs through every part of our factory, from the open-plan office space to the production hall and out to the warehouse. All our staff have an important role to play in the team and together we create a positive atmosphere where everyone feels at home. Our job, every day, is to make sustainable paper bags with top quality printing at the right price. Satisfied customers come back again and again, and on that basis, our customers are clearly telling us we’re doing our job right.

Rooted in Sweden

From our factory in Jordbro south of Stockholm, we provide the whole of Scandinavia with locally produced bags of the highest quality. The raw material for our products comes from a renewable and constantly growing resource. It all begins with the energy of the little seed that once took root in the Nordic soil and slowly but surely grew strong in the forests that are part of our Scandinavian heritage. The climate up here in the north creates the perfect conditions. When coniferous trees are able to grow tall at a slow pace, they develop long, strong fibres that turn into excellent pulp for durable kraft paper, mainly produced by our Scandinavian paper mills. The Scandinavian forests absorb CO2 until they reach 80 years of age. After that, the forest can no longer hold more CO2 and instead starts to release it. This is why it’s very important that our forests are harvested to make room for new trees that can help our planet. At least two new trees are planted for every one harvested. Our active choice of virgin fibre means that our paper bags feed the circular economy.

This is the thinking behind our sustainable production of tough, recyclable, biodegradable carrier bags.

Our factory is entirely run on renewable energy from solar and wind power, assured by the agreements we have entered into with suppliers able to provide Guarantees of Origin.
