Carrier bags

How to choose a handle style

  • Rope handles

    Durable, and able to carry heavier items, which makes them a top choice for various retail applications.

  • Ribbon handles

    Elegant, and suited to lightweight, high-end products as a luxurious packaging solution.

  • Twisted handles

    Made entirely from paper, so they are paper-only and ideal for light items like food, clothing and gifts.

  • Die cut handles

    Used for retail packaging, promotional items and giveaways. The handles hold limited weight, so they suit lighter items.

  • Flat handles

    Sturdy paper handles that fold neatly against the bag: practical for takeaway food, retail products, clothing and everyday shopping.

  • Handleless (SOS) bags

    A simple open-top design with a flat base, easy to fill, carry and store: common for food takeaway, groceries, bakery items and lightweight retail products.
