FORMAT · MATERIAL · PRINTING

The specification
for your project.

Minimum order quantity

  • Custom-printed production usually starts at 10 000 bags.
  • Minimum quantity depends on dimensions, material, thickness, construction and printing.
  • The exact minimum order quantity is confirmed after specification.

Dimensions and design

  • Dimensions are tailored to the product and required volume.
  • The top edge is folded inwards to create a double layer of material.
  • The handle opening is die-cut through the turned-over top.
  • The opening's shape, dimensions and position are adapted to the construction.
  • The height of the folded section is determined by the bag's dimensions and technical requirements.
  • Flat or gusseted construction, depending on manufacturing possibilities.
  • Bottom and side gusset options are confirmed for each project.

Material

  • LDPE: soft, stretchable plastic with a smooth surface.
  • Recommended LDPE thickness usually starts at 50 µm, depending on dimensions and load.
  • HDPE: stiffer plastic with higher tensile strength at a lower material thickness.
  • HDPE thickness is determined for the project.
  • rLDPE or rHDPE with recycled feedstock may be possible.
  • White, black, transparent or coloured plastic, depending on manufacturing possibilities.
  • Composition and recycled content are confirmed for each project.

Printing options

  • Flexographic printing according to material and manufacturing method.
  • The number of print colours depends on the manufacturer, construction and design.
  • Colour shades are normally defined in the Pantone system.
  • Printing of logos, text, patterns and brand graphics.
  • The front and back can have the same or different designs, depending on the printing method.
  • The print area and printing across gussets are determined from the bag's dieline.
  • Internal printing is assessed separately for the construction and manufacturer.

Options

  • A turned-over top creates a finished handle area.
  • Different material colours and surface finishes according to the selected plastic.
  • Transparent, semi-transparent or opaque material according to the project.
  • With custom printing or unprinted.

Production and delivery

  • Approximate production time usually 3–6 weeks after specification and print file approval.
  • Production time depends on quantity, material, printing and production schedule.
  • Transport time is additional to production time.
  • Exact production and delivery time is confirmed in the quote.

Artwork files

  • Preferred vector formats: AI, EPS or print-ready PDF.
  • Text must be converted to outlines or the fonts used must be supplied.
  • Colour shades must be specified using Pantone codes.
  • The design is placed on the manufacturer's approved dieline.
  • The print file is checked and approved before production.

Minimum quantity, available options and delivery arrangements to Sweden are confirmed for your order in the quote.

CHOOSE TO SUIT YOUR PRODUCT

A turned-over top for a finished handle

The top of the bag is folded inwards to create a double layer where the handle is die-cut. This gives a neatly finished top edge and helps reinforce the area under strain when the bag is carried.

LDPE is soft, stretchable and smooth, while HDPE is stiffer and can offer higher tensile strength in thinner constructions. Material and thickness are selected according to product weight, bag dimensions and the desired surface feel. Recycled feedstock can be used when project requirements and production allow it; composition, colour and content are confirmed separately. The folded section's height and the opening's shape are adapted to dimensions and carrying requirements. Bags can be flat or gusseted. Side and bottom gusset options need to be confirmed with the manufacturer. Carrying capacity also depends on material, thickness and the complete construction. Emballa helps you compare production options and select material, construction and printing for the project. Behind Emballa is Plastrum OÜ in Estonia, working with business customers in the Baltics and Scandinavia.

  • Clothing and footwear stores.
  • Beauty, cosmetics and accessory stores.
  • Retail and product packaging with a carefully considered presentation.
  • Trade shows, campaigns and corporate events.
  • Gifts and promotional products.

Logo printing and custom design

Logos, brand graphics, text and campaign messages can be added using flexo printing. The number of colours, print area and options for different front and back designs depend on the chosen construction and the manufacturer's technology. Pantone codes are normally used for spot colours. Detailed designs, large print areas and internal printing are assessed separately.

A partner throughout the project

Emballa is backed by Plastrum OÜ. We help businesses in the Baltics and Scandinavia choose material, construction and printing method. We compare manufacturing options and coordinate the project from specification to delivery.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Before you order.

How does a turned-over top differ from a standard die-cut handle?

The turned-over top creates two layers of plastic around the handle opening. A standard die-cut handle passes through a single layer of material.

Does the turned-over edge increase carrying capacity?

The double layer helps reinforce the handle area. The bag's actual carrying capacity also depends on material, thickness, dimensions and the opening's construction.

Can we order with a logo?

Yes. The number of colours and print area are confirmed according to material, construction and manufacturing method.

Should we choose LDPE or HDPE?

The choice depends on surface feel, dimensions, product weight and required carrying capacity. The material's name alone does not determine whether a bag suits heavier contents.

Are materials with recycled feedstock available?

rLDPE and rHDPE may be possible when the use allows it. Material composition and suitability are confirmed for the project.
