Custom Printed Flexiloop Handle Plastic Bags
Flexiloop handle plastic bags have an array of benefits that all stem from the bag’s handle being external to the rest of the bag. Typically, these bags are more comfortable to hold than a patch handle bag or punched out handle bag, due to the ergonomic handle. Further, as the handle sticks out from the rest of the bag, you can fit more in the bag, making them great for retailers. It also means the whole bag space is printable and uninterrupted by the handle. Handles can be coloured separately to the rest of the bag too. These bags also share other benefits of a plastic bag, such as being weatherproof, strong, and highly reusable.

How much do printed plastic bags cost?
Polythene bags are our cheapest bag to produce, however the unit cost per bag will change depending on a number of factors. Orders of below 1000 bags would have the same unit cost as 1000, so we recommend ordering at least 1000. The more bags ordered, the more cost savings we can pass on. Also, factors such as the type of bag, the print & colouring of the bag, as well as the printing plates can all affect cost. We will break down the costs as part of your quote so please get in touch with your requirements.

What is the benefit of a flexiloop handle plastic bag?
The primary benefit of a flexiloop handle plastic bag is its ergonomic external handle, making it much easier to hold. This also means more items can fit inside the bag. It also reduces the printing limitations of the bag, as you’re able to print the entire bag area, uninterrupted by the handle. The flexiloop handle plastic bag is also strong and comes in a range of sizes for large & small items.
Are printed plastic bags eco-friendly?
Plastic bags are robust and long-lasting, meaning they are highly reusable and can be recycled. Plastic bags are considered single-use plastics, so brands should encourage their customers to reuse and recycle their plastic bags. Because plastic does not biodegrade quickly, when plastic bags are disposed of incorrectly they can have a significant environmental impact.
Can plastic bags be recycled?
In some UK counties you are able to recycle plastic bags at home, so it’s worth checking whether this is possible at your postcode. For most, plastic bags can only be recycled at designated recycling points, the most common of which are large supermarkets.
Are plastic bags biodegradable?
No, plastic bags should be reused and recycled and cannot be biodegraded.
Are handles attached on the inside or outside of the bag?
The handles on a flexiloop handle plastic bag are attached to the inside of the bag.
Are plastic bags suitable for carrying heavy items?
Yes, all of our printed plastic bags are great for carrying heavy items as plastic is a strong material, and our standard plastic bag sizes accommodate for items larger in size. See our plastic bag size guide for more information.
Can you print on both sides of a plastic bag?
Yes, plastic bags can be printed on one or both sides.
Which products & industries should consider using flexiloop handle plastic bags?
These bags are one of the most popular bag types for retailers of all kinds, and are typically seen in high volumes in fashion outlets and supermarkets. These bags are great for homeware and toy shops where items are large and heavy as the ergonomic handle makes carrying these items much easier.
What is the benefit of using plastic bags over paper?
Plastic bags are typically more cost effective than paper bags. They’re also easier to store, and made from stronger materials than paper bags, making them more reusable and long-lasting. Plastic is also water resistant and able to be printed clear.
Can a printed plastic bag be used for food packaging?
Yes, and we’ve worked with a number of brands to produce polythene bags for food packaging. If this is the desired use case of your bag, just tell us what you need. We can provide samples of previous food packaging plastic bag projects if required.
What is the difference between a flexiloop handle plastic bag and patch/punched-out handle plastic bags?
Patch handle plastic bags and punched-out handle plastic bags have handles that are located within the bag itself. Flexiloop handle bags have external handles that are adhered to the top of the bag.
