# Bags packaging EPR Sweden: what a paper bag costs per 1,000 packs, 2027

Last verified: October 22, 2026 · https://instica.com/epr/bag/sweden

<a id="answer"></a>

In Sweden, 1,000 paper bags of the Medium (grocery bag) size (50 g) carry an estimated packaging fee of SEK 2.00 to SEK 619.00 on the 2027 schedule. The range comes from the published rates that fit each part of the pack. Instica estimates it; you confirm the weights, then sign and submit.

## What this page estimates for a paper bag in Sweden

The paper bag on this page is a kraft or white paper bag that carries a product out of a shop or holds it inside a parcel. It has one component, each matched to the published rates of the 2027 schedule of Näringslivets Producentansvar i Sverige AB (NPA) förpackningsavgifter for Sweden; weight times rate gives a fee per 1,000 packs in SEK. The figures are estimates built on starting weights.

<a id="anatomy"></a>

## What is in a paper bag

The bag is one paper component. Handles, window patches and inner coatings are not weighed separately in the starting estimate, so weigh a finished bag if yours has them.

Starting weights, an Instica estimate for a typical pack and not a measured weight: bag (paper, 50 g).

- **Bag**: paper, 50 g (Instica starting estimate)

<a id="worked-example"></a>

## Worked example: 1,000 paper bags in Sweden

One paper bag of the Medium (grocery bag) size weighs 50 g in total. For each component the table gives its weight, the matched published rates, and the fee for 1,000 packs.

<a id="worked-example-table"></a>**Fee for 1,000 paper bags in Sweden, in SEK**

| Component | Weight each | Matched published rate | Fee per 1,000 packs | Fee per pack |
| --- | ---: | --- | ---: | ---: |
| Bag | 50 g | Paper packaging, other than private use, compatible with material recycling to Paper packaging, private use, limited or not compatible with material recycling | SEK 2.00 to SEK 619.00 | SEK 0.0020 to SEK 0.6190 |

<a id="calc-total"></a>Sweden: 1,000 paper bags of the Medium (grocery bag) size are estimated at SEK 2.00 to SEK 619.00 in packaging fees.

Added together, the estimate for 1,000 packs is SEK 2.00 to SEK 619.00.

Divide by 1,000 for a single pack: about SEK 0.0020 to SEK 0.6190.

## What the fee tool returns for 1,000 paper bags in Sweden

Entered into the public fee tool for Sweden (2027 schedule, effective January 1, 2027), 1,000 paper bags give the figures below. The tool is the same engine that prices a report, so this page and the tool agree.

## Which published rates were matched in Sweden

4 published rates were matched to the pack in Sweden from the 2027 schedule. Each is quoted from the programme’s own fee table; the page does not change the rate or round it.

## How size changes the fee for a paper bag

The weight of a paper bag depends on its size. The table prices each of the 3 sizes with the same matched rates, so the only thing that changes between rows is the weight.

<a id="sizes-table"></a>**Fee for 1,000 paper bags by size in Sweden, in SEK**

| Size | Weight each | Fee per 1,000 packs, lowest rates | Fee per 1,000 packs, highest rates | Per pack, lowest | Per pack, highest |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Small (lunch bag) | 20 g | SEK 0.80 | SEK 247.60 | SEK 0.0008 | SEK 0.2476 |
| Medium (grocery bag) | 50 g | SEK 2.00 | SEK 619.00 | SEK 0.002 | SEK 0.619 |
| Large (shopping bag with handles) | 110 g | SEK 4.40 | SEK 1,361.80 | SEK 0.0044 | SEK 1.3618 |

Each component of the paper bag priced at every size, at the matched rates for Sweden.

<a id="matrix"></a>**Fee per 1,000 packs by component and size, Sweden, in SEK**

| Component | Small (lunch bag) | Medium (grocery bag) | Large (shopping bag with handles) |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |

<a id="options"></a>

## What if the paper bag used another material?

Suppose the main component of the paper bag, weighing 50 g, were made of another material. The table prices the same weight in each material class that Sweden publishes a rate for, at the lowest published rate in that class.

<a id="options-table"></a>**Same weight, different material, Sweden, in SEK per 1,000 packs**

| Material | Lowest published rate | Fee per 1,000 packs at that rate | Highest published rate | Fee per 1,000 packs at that rate |

A fee comparison only: another material changes weight and protection too.

<a id="volume"></a>

## What a larger run of paper bags costs in Sweden

Fees scale with the number of packs, because the schedule charges by mass. The table repeats the worked example for larger runs of the Medium (grocery bag) paper bag in Sweden. Nothing else changes between rows: the same weights and the same matched rates apply.

<a id="volume-table"></a>**Fee by run size for the paper bag in Sweden, in SEK**

| Packs | Total weight | Fee at the lowest rates | Fee at the highest rates |
| ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| 100 | 5 kg | SEK 0.20 | SEK 61.90 |
| 500 | 25 kg | SEK 1.00 | SEK 309.50 |
| 1,000 | 50 kg | SEK 2.00 | SEK 619.00 |
| 5,000 | 250 kg | SEK 10.00 | SEK 3,095.00 |
| 10,000 | 500 kg | SEK 20.00 | SEK 6,190.00 |
| 50,000 | 2,500 kg | SEK 100.00 | SEK 30,950.00 |
| 100,000 | 5,000 kg | SEK 200.00 | SEK 61,900.00 |
| 500,000 | 25,000 kg | SEK 1,000.00 | SEK 309,500.00 |
| 1,000,000 | 50,000 kg | SEK 2,000.00 | SEK 619,000.00 |

<a id="calc-pack"></a>Sweden: a single paper bag is estimated at SEK 0.0020 to SEK 0.6190 in packaging fees.

<a id="calc-blended"></a>Sweden: across all its components, a paper bag is priced at SEK 0.04 to SEK 12.38 per kilogram of packaging.

Taken as a whole, the pack is priced at SEK 0.04 to SEK 12.38 per kilogram of packaging, so a heavier pack costs more in proportion to its weight.

Flat fee bands, registration fees and minimum charges sit outside this per-kilogram table.

## How the fee for paper bags has moved on Sweden schedules

Sweden has published 3 per-mass fee schedules that price this pack. The same Medium (grocery bag) paper bags are priced on each below, with the same weights and the same matching rules, so only the published rates differ.

## The fee schedule behind these figures for Sweden

The rates come from the 2027 schedule of Näringslivets Producentansvar i Sverige AB (NPA) förpackningsavgifter for Sweden, effective January 1, 2027. The facts below record where it was published and what else the schedule charges.

<a id="fee-source"></a>Sweden: the 2027 fee schedule of Näringslivets Producentansvar i Sverige AB (NPA) förpackningsavgifter, effective January 1, 2027, is the source of the per-kilogram rates used on this page.

<a id="other-npa-annual-fee"></a>Sweden: the schedule lists a further fee, “NPA annual fee”, of 2500 SEK per year excl. VAT.

<a id="eco-modulation"></a>Sweden: the schedule describes its eco-modulation method as “per category”.

The schedule also lists one other fee, which is not part of the per-kilogram estimate on this page.

The schedule describes an eco-modulation of its rates, so the fee a producer pays can be adjusted up or down from the base rates shown here.

<a id="levers"></a>

## Ways to lower the fee on a paper bag

Paper weight is the lever with the most effect: a lighter grammage lowers the mass that every fee schedule multiplies.

A plain, uncoated bag is usually read as ordinary paper, while a plastic lining or laminated window can move a bag into a different, often dearer, category.

Twisted paper handles weigh little, but cord or ribbon of another material can be reported on its own line by some programmes.

Sellers who ship in paper bags often buy them by the thousand, which makes the per-1,000 figure on this page the natural unit for comparing suppliers.

<a id="faq"></a>

## Questions sellers ask

### <a id="q1"></a>How much is the EPR fee for a paper bag in Sweden?

For 1,000 paper bags of the Medium (grocery bag) size, the estimated fee is SEK 2.00 to SEK 619.00 on the 2027 schedule, from the published rates that fit each component.

### <a id="q2"></a>Is this the amount I will pay?

No. It is an estimate for the packaging alone. Registration fees, flat fee bands, eco-modulation and thresholds sit outside the per-kilogram figure. Instica prepares the data; you check, sign and submit it, and Instica never stores regulator login details.
