Custom plastic bags from The Printed Bag Shop offer businesses an affordable and practical solution for promoting their brand. With a minimum order of just 1,000 units, these bags provide a low-cost per unit option, making them an economical choice for businesses of all sizes. Fully customisable, they can be printed with logos, slogans, or specific designs to align with your branding needs. These versatile bags are widely used across various sectors, including retail, events, exhibitions, and trade shows, offering a perfect blend of functionality and marketing. Durable and reusable, they not only serve practical purposes but also help boost brand visibility wherever they go.
Now more than ever, making environmentally friendly choices is essential. When it comes to plastic bags, we’re all aware of the negative effects they can have on landfill sites and local wildlife. At The Printed Bag Shop, we’ve taken significant steps to produce eco-friendly custom plastic bags that help reduce your business’s environmental footprint.
While there are more sustainable options available, such as printed paper bags and printed fabric bags, sometimes printed plastic bags are simply the best choice for certain business needs. Our recyclable personalised plastic bags offer a waterproof and durable solution that allows you to serve your customers without the guilt of harming the environment. By using bio-polythene in our plastic bag printing process, we ensure that these bags will begin to degrade when exposed to sunlight. Despite this, they remain strong, reusable, and ideal as a ‘bag for life’ option.
Once these printed plastic bags have reached the end of their lifespan, they can be disposed of alongside composting materials, where they break down naturally and transform into fertiliser. This not only provides a practical packaging solution for your business but also contributes positively to sustainability efforts.
To help you find the perfect solution, we offer custom plastic bags in two main styles, both of which can be tailored to match your design preferences and branding needs:
These are the most popular options among our retail clients, and for good reason. Designed for comfort, these printed plastic bags are durable and ideal for carrying items from clothing to food. Their lightweight yet sturdy design makes them the go-to choice for many businesses seeking personalised plastic bags that combine practicality and style.
For heavier items, consider upgrading to custom plastic bags with reinforced handles. These bags provide extra strength around the handle area, preventing mishaps when carrying weighty products. With this added reinforcement, your plastic bag printing will not only look great but also offer a reliable and durable solution for your customers.

Printed bags and custom packaging is the perfect way to improve your brand visibility, without breaking the bank.
Both plastic and paper bags have pros and cons, depending on the context. Plastic bags are durable, lightweight, and reusable for many purposes, but they take longer to decompose and can contribute to environmental pollution if not properly disposed of. Paper bags are biodegradable and made from renewable resources, making them more environmentally friendly in terms of disposal, but they are often less durable and require more energy and water to produce. The better choice depends on your specific needs and how you plan to use and dispose of the bag.
Yes, there are different types of printed plastic bags available at The Printed Bag Shop. These include printed punched handle bags, which are lightweight and durable, and printed patch handle plastic bags, known for their reinforced handles and strength. Both options can be customised with your logo or design, offering an ideal solution for promotional or retail use.
Reusable bags can typically be used many times, depending on the material and how well they are cared for. Most bags made from materials like cotton, canvas, or heavy-duty plastics can be reused hundreds of times, as long as they are kept clean and in good condition.
Thicker plastic bags are generally stronger and more durable, making them better for carrying heavy items. However, they also take longer to break down in the environment. For eco-friendliness, consider reusable or biodegradable options instead of relying solely on thicker plastic bags.
Alternatives to plastic bags include printed paper bags and printed fabric bags. Both options are eco-friendly, reusable, and customisable. Printed paper bags are recyclable and biodegradable, while printed fabric bags, often made from materials like cotton or jute, are durable and perfect for long-term use. These sustainable alternatives help reduce plastic waste and offer stylish, personalised options for carrying goods.
