Every day, millions of people use paper bags. Paper bags have been around for many years, and they are made from 100% recycled paper.. Francis Wolle, an American entrepreneur, received recognition for his invention of the first paper bag machine in 1852.. William Goodale, another paper bag manufacturer, received his patent on July 12th, 1859. He was supposed to cut the paper so that it was folded and ready for folding. Margaret E. Knight was dubbed "the mother of the grocery bag" after she created the square, flat-bottomed bag, and the machine that would fold and paste them in 1870. Other ingenuities have been recognized and patents for their inventions of devices that extend the paper bag or its manufacturing.
