Choosing a bag style is the first decision in any packaging order. The handle design changes the load capacity, the look on the shelf and the price per piece. Here is how the three most popular non-woven styles compare.
D-Cut bags
D-cut bags have a die-cut handle shaped like the letter D in the top panel. They are the most economical style, pack flat and are ideal for pharmacies, stationery shops, boutiques and promotional giveaways. Recommended GSM: 50 to 80.
U-Cut (W-Cut) bags
U-cut or W-cut bags look like the classic vest-style carry bag with two long straps. They stretch to hold heavier items, which makes them the favourite of grocery stores, sweet shops and vegetable vendors. Recommended GSM: 40 to 70.
Loop handle bags
Loop handle bags have separately stitched handles and a gusseted body, so they carry the most weight and look premium. Garment showrooms, jewellery stores, wedding gifting and corporate events choose loop handle or box bags, often with lamination for a glossy finish. Recommended GSM: 80 to 120.
Quick comparison
