When it comes to carrier bags, the patch handle plastic bag is the standard, reliable option used across multiple industries for a range of functions, whether it's retail or catering, events or gifts.

A polythene patch handle bag is robust, waterproof and strong. It's also easy to print and great if you need a speedy delivery often available in under 7 days. The patch provides an increased level of strength around the handle and it makes it far more comfortable to carry, not digging into your hand.

Strong and thick enough to be reused, the printed patch handle carrier bag is still one of our most popular choices as it's great value for money, takes up hardly any space and is available in a range of colours to suit your brand. Plus, our printed patch handle carrier bags are made of up to 30% recycled polythene.

Great company! Really good communication and delivery and amazing quality. We gave them a tight delivery and they arrived earlier then expected but to a very high standard! They are just what we wanted.

Do I need to pay for printing plates?

For this style of bag you'll need to add the plate cost to your initial order, this is a one off cost, unless you make changes which often require new plates.

Every printed patch handle carrier bag is made from a strong but lightweight material. Highstreet shops like the design as it's easy to open, a key feature in a busy retail environment.

A standard printed patch handle carrier can hold up to 3kg of contents, making it a popular choice for a wide range of stores. It comes in a range of sizes and colour options and is flexible and cost-effective.
