Custom printed luxury rope-handle plastic bags
Luxury rope-handle plastic bags are premium carrier bags with separately attached rope or ribbon handles. The material, handles, construction and custom print are tailored to the company’s visual identity and the product being packed.
Choosing LDPE or HDPE film
LDPE film is soft, flexible and smooth, making it suitable for premium rope-handle bags. HDPE film is stiffer and has a different surface feel. Material and thickness are selected for the dimensions, construction, product weight and desired appearance.
Depending on the application and production capabilities, film containing recycled feedstock may be used. Composition, colour, transparency and recycled content percentage are agreed for each project.
Dimensions and construction
Bags are made to suit the product’s dimensions and the capacity required. Handles are attached to the reinforced upper section. Their material, colour, length and attachment method are chosen to suit the construction.
Options may include rope, textile or ribbon handles. The construction can include a bottom gusset, side gussets, a reinforced top or base reinforcement. A square-bottom plastic bag is one possible option, but suitability and availability depend on the dimensions and manufacturer.
Logo printing and custom options
Custom printed plastic bags can carry a company logo, brand graphics, a campaign message or other artwork. Colour count, print area and printing technology depend on the material, dimensions, construction and order quantity.
The material may be transparent, coloured or opaque, with a gloss, matt or frosted surface. Colours and finish are selected to suit the artwork and the manufacturer’s material range. Detailed artwork and special requirements are assessed for each project.
Applications
Luxury rope-handle bags suit fashion, beauty, cosmetics, design and accessories brands. They are also used for premium gifts, campaign products and limited editions.
They suit situations where packaging forms part of the product presentation and company identity. Material, handles and construction must be selected for the product weight and intended use.
