| Patch handle polythene bags are one of the most widely used carrier bags. They are commonly used on the high street for fashion outlets and sports outlets and also used in many exhibition or promotional situations.
Construction:
The bags have reinforced handles. A small patch of polythene is placed behind the handle location during manufacture so that when the handle hole is punched out, the surrounding LDPE or HDPE is supported by an extra layer of usually clear polythene. This adds far great strength around this area and allows the carrier bag to be used for longer periods and carry more weight. Without the patch insert, the handle area tends to be one of the weaker spots on a carrier bag as when in use correctly, the handle will have to support all of the contents of the carrier bag. The bags are commonly side welded and produced with a base gusset to allow greater capacity within the bag.
The bag in the image has the following specification:
Patch handle carrier bag
Quantity: 5,000+ (min quantity is 5,000)
Size: 16"x18"+3" : Height x Width + Base Gusset
50mu White LDPE
Punched reinforced handle
Printed 1 colour, both sides, with 100% ink coverage.
The bags are usually packed in outer cardboard boxes in quantities of 500 or 1,000. Deliveries can be made to any location around the UK or exported too. Beckdale can assist with all artwork and design processes of all carrier bags. A sample bag is not possible on this style of bag due to the machine set up requirements.

| We can supply printed polythene carrier bags within 7 working days, sometimes less depending on factory capacity. These can be printed onto white or standard coloured polythenes (LDPE - low density). Fast track orders are only available on the Vari-gauge style of carrier bags. The most common size for this carrier bag is 15"x18"+3" (Width x Height + base gusset). Other common sizes include 12"x16"+3", 22"x18"+3", 30"x24"+4" (White only). Printing can be done up to 6 colours in total (so 3 one side, 3 another, or 4 and 2) but becomes more expensive the more colours you have. Each colour still requires its own plate and ink tray on the machine. We deliver anywhere in the UK within the specified time (remote regions subject to services available). The specification for the above bag would be as follows:
Varigauge Carrier Bag
1,000 + (Min quantity)
Size: 15"x18"+3"
Material: 45/90mu Yellow LDPE
Printing: 1 colour, 2 sides, 30%

| Flexi-loop polythene carrier bags are ideal when you have just that little bit more shopping as the handles allow extra carrying capacity. Easier on the hands as well due to the quality/thickness of the handles. The same prinicple applies as varigauge polythene bags or patch handle bags for guage of polythene. Variloop carriers have double the thickness at the top of the bag to give strength around the handle area, and can be printed with spot colours. Flexi-loop TOT carriers are of a standard gauge of polythene throughout and can be printed with single or in CMYK process prints. Both types of carrier are available in a variety of colours with matching or contrasting handles also available.
The spcification of the carrier bag shown here is as follows:

| We can supply a wide range of flexiloop and vari-loop carrier bags. The main difference between this carrier and others is the flexible handle. The handle can be of either LDPE or HDPE depending on the quantity you are ordering. Also the handle can be produced from any colour polythene. For small runs of 1,000 to 10,000, generally the colour is from standard available colours only. The handle can also be manufactured to a short length or shoulder length, but yet again, this is subject to quantity ordered as standard processes on shorter runs can only attach a short handle.
The TOT flexiloop carrier bag is produced from a standard gauge material, usually between 45mu and 65mu (micron) LDPE (Low Density Polythene) and can be supplied in any of the standard colours*. These bags are ideal for bag for life carrier bags and promoting reuseable concepts. Flexiloop carrier bags can be produced using a biodegradeable polythene to help the environement too.
The carrier bag shown here is of the following specification:
TOT Flexiloop carrier bags

| The softloop bag or flexiloop bag is similar to a patch or varigauge carrier bag. The difference being the handle. On the patch or varigauge a handle is created by punching a hole at the top of the bag. For the production of a softloop or flexiloop carrier bags, the handle is created by adding a loop of polythene material to the top of the carrier bag. These bags are manufactured all over the world. We source our supplies subject to the quantity and lead time you require. The softloop handle gives an added appearance of quality over the punched hole handle style carrier bags.
The specification for a bag like this is as follows:
Softloop/Flexiloop carrier bags 1,000 minimum quantity 16"x18"+3" 45/90mu Black Low Density Polythene Silver ink, 2 sides Silver LDPE Handle

| The sample shown here is of a varigauge bag printed onto an Ivory LDPE. The print is a two colour black and red print. Note, when printing onto coloured LDPE, the base colour can affect the finished ink colour. This is particularly noticeable for white inks and lighter colour inks. For metallics, black and dark inks, the base material colour affects the printing much less if at all.
The specification of a bag like this is as follows: Varigauge carrier bag Quantity: 1,000+ Size: 15"x18"+3" 45/90mu Ivory LDPE Punched hole handle printed 2 colours, both sides.
These bags are ideal for exhibitions, promotions, small stores and one off low run prints. They can also be supplied with short lead times, sometimes within 7 working days.
