Carrier bags are bags with handles that are used to hand over goods at the point of sale. Unlike shipping bags or plastic bags, carrier bags usually have an upright form and stable handles for greater carrying capacity.
Our focus is on sustainable carrier bags made from kraft paper – biodegradable, available with FSC/PEFC certification, food-grade for direct food contact.
Carrier bags are made from paper, plastic or non-woven. The material choice determines carrying capacity, appearance, recyclability and brand perception.
Natural paper with a twisted paper cord as a handle. Carrying capacity 5–10 kg depending on the format. Standard for retail, fashion shops, gift packaging. Printable in offset print with high resolution.
Stable paper carrier bag with a reinforced flat handle. Carrying capacity 10–15 kg. Premium variant for fashion, jewellery, shoes, higher-value retail packaging.
High-density polyethylene film, cost-effective and tear-resistant. The classic food shopping bag with carrier cut-outs. Material-efficient thanks to the thin film thickness.
Polyethylene carrier bag with a punched handle and a stable construction. Reusable, suitable for medium-heavy purchases (5–8 kg). Printable as a brand carrier in retail.
Polypropylene non-woven hard-wearing and reusable 30–50 times. Visually high-quality, printable, often used as a promotional item or promotional carrier bag in retail.
Paper and LDPE carrier bags are certified for food contact in accordance with EU 10/2011. Declaration of conformity on request.
Carrier bags are mobile brand carriers — printed carrier bags reach an audience far beyond the point of sale.
Printing on paper in offset print with up to 8 colours, high-resolution photo rendering possible. Printing on film and non-woven in flexo print with up to 6 colours. Full-surface printing across both sides of the carrier bag possible.
Format adjustments in width (180–500 mm), height (220–500 mm) and bottom gusset depth (80–180 mm). Standard formats mini, small, medium, large, XL — or individual format specification.
A choice of twisted paper cord, flat paper handle, cotton cord, PP punched handle. Colour and length to specification.
Minimum run: 1,000 pieces (paper special), 5,000 (film/non-woven standard). Delivery time on request. Submit an enquiry.
In Germany, carrier bags have been chargeable or banned since 2022 — as a result, sustainable and reusable carrier bags are the only future-proof solution.
Pure kraft paper carrier bags are fully recoverable in the paper recycling stream. FSC-certified on request — important for organic brands and sustainability-oriented retail chains.
PP non-woven carrier bags with a 30–50 use lifespan have a considerably better ecological balance than single-use plastic bags. From around 8–10 uses, the CO₂ balance turns positive.
PE carrier bags are mono-material and recyclable. However, due to German packaging legislation they are largely banned or chargeable in food retail — so they are now only used in specific sectors (construction/DIY, garden).
PE carrier bags with a post-consumer recyclate content of up to 80 % are possible. For sustainability-oriented brand strategies, material reduction is often more effective than a material change.
