BAG FORMAT GUIDE

T-Shirt Carrier Bags or Die-Cut Handle Bags?

The right plastic shopping bag format depends on how products are packed, the carrying capacity required and the presentation you want customers to experience at checkout.

PaperMyna helps match the bag style to your everyday retail workflow before confirming the film, finished size, thickness and print detail.

T-Shirt Carrier Bags

A practical choice for grocery stores, convenience retail, takeaway counters and other high-frequency packing environments. Open handles and a gusseted body make these bags quick to separate, open and fill for everyday purchases.

Die-Cut Handle Bags

A flatter, more presentation-led option for apparel, gifts, cosmetics and promotional packs. The clean front panel provides useful space for branded artwork, product information and campaign messaging.

Made to order: Both formats can be produced in HDPE or LDPE with custom dimensions, film thickness, colours and direct printing.

CUSTOM COLOURS AND DIRECT PRINTING

Custom Printed Shopping Bags for Retail Brands

Custom printed plastic shopping bags turn an everyday carrier into a recognisable part of your retail presentation. Film colour, artwork placement and print coverage can be matched to the bag format and the way customers will use it.

From a simple one-colour graphic to a fuller promotional design, PaperMyna prepares artwork around the handle area, open top and finished bag dimensions so key branding remains clear when the bag is packed, carried and displayed.

FILM MATERIAL GUIDE

HDPE or LDPE: Choose the Right Film for Your Bag

Film choice affects the feel, flexibility and finished presentation of a plastic shopping bag. HDPE and LDPE can both be supplied in clear, white or coloured film with custom printing.

HDPE Film

HDPE has a crisper feel and higher stiffness at a comparable thickness. It is commonly selected for T-shirt carrier bags and high-volume grocery, convenience and takeaway packing where quick, practical handling is important.

Best suited to: Everyday retail packing, grocery counters, lightweight purchases and high-frequency bag use.

LDPE Film

LDPE is softer and more flexible, with a smoother and glossier finished appearance. It is a practical choice for die-cut handle bags, apparel, gifts and retail orders where presentation is an important part of the customer experience.

Best suited to: Clothing, gifts, cosmetics, promotional packs and custom printed retail bags.

Final material choice: PaperMyna confirms the film type and thickness around product weight, bag size, handle format, intended use and printing requirements.

SIZE, THICKNESS AND CARRYING PERFORMANCE

Plan the Right Bag Size and Thickness for Everyday Use

Custom plastic shopping bags should be specified around the packed product, the expected carrying load and the way the bag is opened, filled and used in everyday retail packing.

Finished Bag Size

Finished width, height and any required side gusset are planned around the product dimensions, the number of items packed per purchase and the available counter-packing space.

Film Thickness and Handling

Film thickness is selected together with the HDPE or LDPE material choice. A lighter specification can suit fast everyday packing, while a stronger film may be needed for heavier products or a more substantial retail presentation.

Expected Load and Carrying Use

Product weight, shape, handle format and packing frequency are considered together so the bag remains practical to open, fill, carry and distribute through the intended retail workflow.

For a practical specification: Share your packed product size, estimated weight, preferred bag format, intended use and printing requirements, and PaperMyna can help confirm the finished bag dimensions and film thickness before production.
