For many people choosing a plastic carrier bag is all about getting the right colour - something to match or enhance their brand.
If colour is NOT the only factor, here's a guide to the other features that may affect your buying decision
Micron
The thicker the plastic - the stronger the bag. Generally speaking, Morplan increases the micron with the size of the bag. Thickness does not however, reflect the opacity so consult the images and the description of the bag before deciding.
Size
Unless everything you sell is the same size and shape, you're probably going to need more than one size of bag. We stock a wide range of bags in a wide range of sizes so we should have what you need


Material
Most of our carrier bags are made from low density (LD) polythene which is soft and flexible. High density (HD) polythene is much stronger so can be used to make thinner bags, reducing cost. MD/HD polythene offers a great combination of strength and texture. All of Morplan's carrier bags are made with 50% recycled polythene.
Handle type
Cut-out handles are the simplest type available and are suitable for lighter weight products
Patch handles have a second layer of plastic stuck or welded on the inside of the bag around each hole to create a longer-lasting bag
Flexi-loop handles are the strongest and most comfortable to carry however, because they are welded onto a reinforced edge, they cost a little more.
Personalisation
We can add your company name and logo to plastic carrier bags, visit our LogoPrint page to learn more.
