Retailers can choose from a wide range of bag types including paper carrier bags, plastic carrier bags, reusable “bags for life”, gift bags and display bags. Each type serves a different purpose depending on the product, brand positioning and customer needs.
Most retail bags are now designed with sustainability in mind. Options include recyclable paper bags, bio-based plastic alternatives and reusable bags made from materials such as jute or woven fibres, helping businesses reduce environmental impact while maintaining quality and durability.
Paper bags are typically recyclable, biodegradable and often made from responsibly sourced materials, making them a popular eco-friendly option. Plastic bags, on the other hand, are lightweight, durable and can be reused multiple times, making them a cost-effective solution for many retailers.
