What are punched handle carrier bags?
Punched handle carrier bags, also known as varigauge bags, feature a handle punched out of the bag material, providing a convenient way to carry items. These bags are designed for strength and ergonomics, making them suitable for retail settings where customers need a reliable carrying solution.
What makes varigauge carrier bags different from regular carrier bags?
Varigauge carrier bags have a reinforced design with varying thicknesses to prevent weak spots and enhance durability. This makes them ideal for handling heavier items.

How are recycled polythene vest carrier bags different from other types?
Recycled vest carrier bags are manufactured from 100% recycled HDPE material, providing a sustainable alternative to new plastic. While they offer durability similar to virgin-grade bags, they are not biodegradable but help reduce plastic waste by repurposing used materials.

'Bag for Life' carriers are durable, reusable bags designed to withstand multiple uses. They are made from strong materials and feature handles that are bonded for extra strength. These bags are often made from recycled plastic and are ideal for customers who need a reliable, long-lasting option.
