Plastic Carry Bags With Die Cut Handles - Plain

Plastic carry bags with a die cut handle are a favourite with boutiques, and are also commonly used as sample bags at conferences, exhibitions and shows.

This traditional style of bag is usually made with low density plastic (LDPE) for a glossy, soft finish and is used by many clothes retailers such as Myer. 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, and can be used to make ‘frosted’ look bags, which have recently become fashionable. Both of these types of plastic can be manufactured with an additive that will enable the plastic to be degradable, which is becoming popular with both retailers and customers. The ‘die cut’ handle is simply an elongated hole punched into the bag.

Plastic carry bags with a die cut handle 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 quantity. These bags are manufactured in Australia, and the lead time for printed carry bags is usually 6 weeks from approval of artwork.
