 | We can supply printed polythene carrier bags within 7 working days for urgent deliveries, sometimes less depending on machine demand. These can be printed onto white or standard coloured polythenes (LDPE - low density). Urgent fast track orders are only available on the Vari-gauge style of polythene 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: 12"x16"+3"
Material: 45/90mu White LDPE

 | 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 2 colours, both sides, with 100% ink coverage.
The bags are usually packed in outer card 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 a wide range of flexiloop carrier bags. The flexiloop 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 flexiloop carrier bag is produced from a standard gauge material, usually between 45mu and 85mu (micron) LDPE or HDPE. 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.

 | These are very similar to turn over top carrier bags, except they have a larger lip which covers the top of the bag. This allows for the addition of a permanent peal and seal strip, ideal for the new EU airport legislation which requires all liquids to be carried in clear plastic bags onboard flights.
These can be produced with a permanent, resealabel or security tape, with or without a pocket.
Although the LDPE can be printed up to 8 colours it is advisable that these are left as plain as possible for security reasons. A small airline or airport logo with some brief details is as much as advisable to add to these bags. Subject to a minimum order quantity it would be possible to add a fire retardant additive to the polythene making the bags even safer for airline travel.

 | An ideal short run, promo or exhibition carrier bag
Variguage carrier bags are manufactured using a polythene of varying thickness, hence the name. The standard material is usually 45mu (microns) at the base and around the gusset, which increases with the height of the bag so that the material thickness is 90mu (microns) around the handle area. The bag strength therefore comes from a single sheet of polythene and results in a strong handle. The bags are ideal for short runs and can be produced from quantities of 1,000 upwards in a variety of standard colours. Due to the varying gauge however, it is not possible to print these bags with a process print as the varying gauge would cause problems with the process.
These bags can be produced in 7 working days on a fastrack service
The specification of the above bag is as follows:

 | 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.

 | or FLEXILOOP CARRIER BAGS
A flexiloop carrier is similar to the vari-gauge and patch handled carrier bags, but with a welded polythene loop handle attached. A flexiloop handle is an ideal solution to add a little more class to a polythene carrier bag.
For UK manufactured quantities over 10,000 an optional turn over top can be incorporated into the bag (if required for strength). Other than a turnover top, the vari-gauge material can be used. Colour of the loop does not have to be the same as that of the carrier.
Flexiloop carrier bags can also be manufactured with a side and base gusset, cardboard top and base reinforcements, long or short handles and printed up to 100% (not all styles can be printed 100%).
Materials: HDPE or LDPE

 | We can supply bespoke polythene carrier bags with rop handles. These are very popular among the younger female generation as the handle can easily be shoulder length and the overall usage of the bag is similar to a material shoulder bag.
The bag design is a side and base gusseted carrier bag, which opens out in a similar way to the rope handled luxury paper bags. The bags need to have a card reinforcement at the top and metal eyelets, as the rope needs a strong support to attach to. The handle can be either a rope, as shown here (PP rope, 5mm diameter), cotton or ribbon.
The specifcation of a polythene bag like this is as follows:

 | Flexiloop handles can be applied to a flat bag (with base gusset) or to an SOS style polythene carrier bag as shown here. These are not usually manufactured in the UK due to the machinery not being available. These bags are highly customisable and can be produced from HDPE or LDPE (High or Low density polythene) depending on requirements. HDPE is stronger but has a matt finish, where as LDPE is much more glossy but weaker for similar thickness material. LDPE is suitable if you require a clear polythene bag, where as HDPE results in a slightly frosted finish. The HDPE material shown within the bag here is specifically designed to be frosted. The bags can also be fitted shoulder length handles, rope handels or ribbon handles (eyelets required). For extra strength card reinforcement can be added to a turn over top to give the top of the bag a more rigid feel. Also, a card base can be added to give support and help keep the bags shape should heavier items be placed into the bag. HDPE Flexiloop bags can hold a massive amount of weight. Some have been proven to carry over 10kgs.
The specifcation of the above bag is as follows:
~Side & Base Gusseted Flexiloop Carrier Bag
Quantity: 5,000 (min)
Size: 420mm (Wide) x 490mm (High) + 120mm (Gussets)
90mu Frosted HDPE

 | Flexiloop carrier bags can be printed bespoke to any print you need. Your corporate logo or design can be printed with a full colour CMYK process photo to give a fantastic powerful representation of your design. Beckdale can help you with all your design needs if you're struggling.
These bags are geenerally produced using a side weld, and mostly include a base gusset. The flexiloop carrier bag usually has a turn over top so the handles are double welded to the main polythen sheet of the bag. This allows for the bag to carry quite a large amount of weight. Thicker polythene can be used to increase the strength of the carrier bag.
For printing full colour images, it is advised that printing is onto white polythene. printing can also be done onto a clear or frosted polythene using a white background. This requires an extra colour as the white is not part of the usual process printing.
The specification of the above carrier bag is as follows:

 | A Vari-gauge carrier bag is ideal for a small shop, retail outlet or exhibition carrier bag. Aimed at small runs between 1,000 and 5,000 (can be more) bags, they offer an economical choice for the smaller budget. Although the printing area is limited to the central area of the bag, a company logo and details can easily be displayed.
A Vari-gauge carrier bag is so called due to the differing gauge from top to bottom. The handle area has a gauge twice as thick as that at the bottom. This gives the handle extra strength without the need for a reinforcement (see patch handle carrier bags). These have the option of a straight or kidney shaped punched out handle.
Materials: LDPE
Colours: White, Clear, Frosted or Standard*
Standard size: 15"x18"+3"
available sizes: From 12"x18"+3" up to 30"x24"+5"
Printing: The standard print area for a 15"x18"+3" varigauge carrier bag is 12"x12". For a 100% print coverage please see patch handle carrier bags.
Minimum order: 1,000
Lead times of manufacture (1* to 5 weeks)
Manufactured in:
* = FastTrack surcharge required (£50.00 for 1,000 + £5.00/1,000 thereafter for fastrack service).
Vari-loop carrier bags
These are a combination of the varigauge carrier bags and the flexiloop carrier bags. Instead of punching a handle hole out of the bag, a flexiloop handle is attached instead. These can also be produced from 1,000 upwards.

 | Variguage carrier bags are manufactured using a polythene of varying thickness, hence the name. The standard material is usually 45mu (microns) at the base and around the gusset, which increases with the height of the bag so that the material thickness is 90mu (microns) around the handle area. The bag strength therefore comes from a single sheet of polythene and results in a strong handle. The bags are ideal for short runs and can be produced from quantities of 1,000 upwards in a variety of standard colours. Due to the varying gauge however, it is not possible to print these bags with a process print as the varying gauge would cause problems with the process.
These bags can be produced in 7 working days on a fastrack service
The specification of the above bag is as follows:
Remember: Beckdale can supply artwork too

 | 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 vari-loop carrier bag is produced from a varigauge material, where by the material is thicker at the top than at the base. The standard material is 45/90mu (micron) LDPE (Low Density Polythene) and can be supplied in any of the standard colours*.
The carrier bag shown here is of the following specification:
Vari-gauge carrier bags
Quantity: 1,000+ (min)

 | Desgined for large scale production and economy, a vest handled carrier is made of High Density polythene, usually of very low gauge. This allows a very low cost bag to be used for holding a relatively heavy weight. These carrier bags are available in biodegradeable materials although minimums apply.
Available with biodegradable and degradable polythene additives for quantities of 500,000 or more.
* If quantity is large enough any colour can be chosen for the material.
** Limitations apply to a print run of 50,000 bags.

 | Varigauge polythene carrier bags are printed up to 6 colours in total. That can be all 6 on one side, or 3 on each side. Or some other combination, but totalling 6 colours. It may be better to think of it as 6 plates or designs which can be on either side. The material doubles in thickness from the base to give extra support around the handle area. The bags can be produced in quantities as little as 1,000 and also on a fast track service which allows us to despatch the bags within 7 working days, sometimes sooner.
