Printed Sugar Cane Bags

Custom Printed Sugar Cane Bags

Sugar cane bags are nearly identical to standard polythene carrier bags, however they’re incredibly eco-friendly. These bags are made from a polymer derived from sugar cane waste, making them completely carbon neutral, 100% recyclable, but just as strong and versatile as a plastic carrier bag. What’s more, because of their eco-friendly benefits, they’re completely tax exempt.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum order quantity?

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.

What is the estimated delivery time?

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.

What sizes are available for sugar cane bags?

Our plastic bag size guide can be referenced for all of our polythene alternative bags. For orders over 10,000 bags, we can create bags to any size you require.

What is the benefit of a sugar cane carrier bag?

The main benefit of a sugar cane carrier bag is that it retains all the benefits of a standard polythene carrier bag, but it’s carbon neutral, made from natural material waste, and is tax exempt. This means you get the same strength, storage, printing and weatherproof benefits of a plastic carrier bag, knowing that the bag’s production has had a positive impact on the environment.

Are sugar cane bags eco-friendly?

Yes, the process for making sugar cane bags is very eco-friendly. These bags are made from sugar cane waste which is an incredibly environmentally efficient material approach. The production is also carbon neutral, and the carrier bags are completely recyclable, meaning they should have little to no waste impact on the environment if disposed of correctly.

Are there any printing limitations with sugar cane bags?

There are no limitations on printing with a sugar cane bag, and you should treat sizing and printing in the exact same way as you would one of our regular polythene bags.

Are sugar cane bags as strong as polythene bags?

Yes, because of their production method, sugar cane bags are made from a polymer that is similar to a regular polythene carrier bag. This means that their strength, look and feel are identical to a plastic bag.

What is a sugar cane bag made from?

Sugar cane bags are made from sugar cane waste. This is used to make ethanol, which is then made into a polymer – this process is very similar to that of a regular polythene carrier bag. As such, these bags look identical to plastic carrier bags, but their materials are significantly more eco-friendly.
