T-shirt bags are used where many purchases need to be packed quickly. Material and thickness need to balance the contents' weight, shape and edges with the bag's dimensions and the cost per package.
HDPE from 25 µm is stiffer and makes more rustling noise and can provide good carrying capacity even in thinner constructions. It is often used in grocery stores for heavy products with relatively smooth surfaces. LDPE from 40 µm is softer and more stretchable and better suits irregular goods with sharper edges, for example in fruit and vegetable departments. Both are available with recycled feedstock as Re-HDPE and Re-LDPE. The handles are part of the bag itself and have no separately glued attachment. Block packing makes checkout packing faster; hanging bags let customers take one themselves. Emballa helps you compare manufacturing 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.
