Printed Plastic Free Bags

There is no minimum order quantity, however it is the same unit price per bag on quantities under 1000 as it is for orders of 1000 bags. As a result, we recommend ordering no less than 1000 bags.

On average it takes around 3 weeks for us to manufacture, print and deliver your bags once your order goes through. Depending on quantities and requirements we can ensure a quicker turnaround. We will be able to confirm lead times with you before you order so you know how long delivery will take. If you need your bags by a deadline, we are the only UK carrier bag supplier that can accommodate any specific delivery turnarounds or requirements, so please call or email us as soon as possible.

Our plastic carrier bags size guide covers the sizes available for both our polythene and plastic free carrier bags. However, for orders over 10,000, we can discuss bespoke sizes if this is something you desire.

There are countless benefits of plastic-free bags. Though polythene bags are reusable and recyclable, around 500 billion plastic bags are used each year around the world and are estimated to have a working life of just 15 minutes. Therefore, plastic-free bags are the best way to reducing plastic waste. From naturally made plastic to biodegradable potato-starch material, our plastic-free bag options not only carry the same benefits of other carrier bag options, they’re also significantly more friendly to the environment.

Our plastic free bags are our most eco-friendly bags on offer, each with their own green characteristics. Our potato starch bags are made from natural materials and are 100% biodegradable. Our sugar cane bags are made from a polymer derived from sugar cane waste, are 100% carbon neutral and fully recyclable. Our stone paper bags are more efficiently made than traditional paper bags, repurposing limestone waste and saving wastage of water and energy and preventing the felling of trees. Our paper and fabric bags are also recyclable.

This very much depends on the bag you choose. For our potato starch carrier bag, we can offer white bags with printing on one or both sides in up to 3 colours. For our other bags, printing limitations are specific to the bag type and material, but for orders over 10,000 bags, we can cater to more specific requirements.

Sugar cane bags have no real functional differences with a polythene bag and are the ideal choice for businesses looking for a plastic bag alternative that’s much better for the environment. Our potato starch bags are slightly different to polythene, both in the look and feel of the material and it’s printing limitations, however these bags are strong and a great alternative to plastic.

Using plastic free bags is a signal of commitment to improving your business’ impact on the environment. With the green credentials of businesses becoming a key part of the purchase decision for consumers, using plastic free bags can be a poignant and impactful signal to your customers that you take your environmental responsibilities seriously. Eco-consciousness can be a valuable brand asset, but it is important to ensure your approach is altruistic and not motivated by the marketing benefits of a green agenda.
