Poly Bags With No Handles - Printed

Poly bags are plastic bags with no handle that are usually used for packaging stock, then heat sealed at the open end. They can be manufactured clear, so that items can bee seen within the bag, or coloured according to your needs. Poly bags can be supplied as separate bags, or perforated on a roll. When printed, poly bags can provide a professional packaging solution for any application.

This type of bag is usually made with low density plastic (LDPE) for a smooth, glossy finish. These bags can also be made with high density plastic (HDPE) for a stronger bag with a matt finish. This type of plastic sounds loud and crinkly when moved, is used for poly bags such as bin liners and can be used to make ‘frosted’ look bags. Both of these types of plastic can be manufactured with an additive that will enable the plastic to be degradable, which is becoming very popular.

These bags can be manufactured in many different colours, and it may be possible to colour match to an existing sample. When printing on coloured bags, it is important to note that not all print colours will look the same as they would on a white bag. The minimum quantities for manufacture and printing of clear or white bags are approximately 12 000 for a small bag (size: 250mm x 180mm x 50um), 6 000 for a medium bag (size: 380mm x 250mm x 50um), and 3 000 for a large bag (size: 500mm x 380mm x 50um). Coloured bags require a higher minimum. These bags are manufactured in Australia, and the lead time for printed poly bags is usually 6 weeks from approval of artwork.
