봉투 means a bag or envelope, and at a shop it commonly means a small shopping bag. 봉투 주세요 is a straightforward request.
Korean stores may charge a small fee for a bag or ask whether you need one. Listen for 봉투 필요하세요?, “Do you need a bag?”
If you brought a reusable bag, say 괜찮아요, 가방이 있어요: “It is okay, I have a bag.”
The word 쇼핑백 is also used for a larger branded shopping bag, but 봉투 is the safest everyday word at a convenience store.
