Printed Punched out Handle Polythene Carrier Bags

These customised bags are made from a varigauge material which means the thickness naturally increases at the top of the bag allowing it to take more weight. The handle is then just punched out of the bag to allow the bag to be carried.

You'll recognise a punched handle carrier bag as soon as you see it. It's become a staple of the high street, a bag that customers know and trust. No worrying that their purchases may get dampened by the British weather, a punched handle carrier is more than ready to take on a rain storm or two. They are made from a varigauge material and the handle is then punched out of the bag near the top. You do have to ensure this doesn't impact your design (some stores have even incorporated the punched-out hole as part of the finished look and feel).

These bags are great value for money and we can have them with you quickly, so if you're new to printed carrier bags, this can be a good place to start. Especailly with the wide range of colours and sizes available.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What base colours are available for my bag?

Choose from White, Black, Red, Harrods Green, Apple Green, Yellow, Purple, Ivory, Pink, Orange, Light Blue, Royal Blue, Navy Blue, Clear and Frosted

Is there a minimum order quantity?

Yes, orders start at 500 bags.

What colour print can be used to brand a patch handle carrier bag?

We can print any colour onto your bag, but the number of colours can impact the overall cost. Not all colours work on all bases, so chat with our team about your design, we've got heaps of experience so we'll be able to help you maximise the look of your bag.

What are punched-handle carrier bags made from?

Punched out handle carrier bags are made from low density polythene (LDPE).

What does varigauge mean?

Varigauge just means the thickness naturally increases at the top of the bag allowing it to take more weight. So the area where the handle in punched through is a bit more robust.

What gauges are available?

Our standard varigauge is 180 gauge at the bottom and 360 gauge at the top (45/90 micron) where the punched-out handle sits.

Our stronger varigauge is 250 gauge at the bottom and 500 gauge at the top (62.5/125 micron), enabling it to hold heavier items.

Are the handles included in the dimensions?

Yes, but it does restrict the print area of the bag so use the template we've provided to ensure you don't lose any of your design

Can a polythene carrier bag be recycled?

Yes, most supermarkets have a bin where you can recycle polythene bags.
