WAREHOUSE STORAGE FULFILMENT AND DELIVERY
WAREHOUSE STORAGE FULFILMENT AND DELIVERY
These are very high quality carrier bags suitable for retail purposes or use as a promotional business marketing tool. There are two main choices of paper colour (brown/white), with up to 100% ink coverage as required - internal printing available too. The size of the carrier can be to the nearest millimeter, although we will advise of similar alternative styles that may work out cheaper due to the manufacturing methods used.
A choice of gloss or matt lamination gives an excellent quality finish to the carrier bags. Turn over tops with or without an inserted cardboard reinforcement and base cardboard reinforcement are both optional extras.
Handles can be polypropelene cord, cotton rope, herring bone ribbon, silk, twisted paper, fabric, PVC tube, or any suitable material. Handle lengths can be short 'hand only' up to full shoulder length. You can have holes added for ribbon ties, or the ribbon incorporated into the turn over top to save threading the ribbon each time. We also offer metal eyelets dyed to specific colours*, gold foil (multiple foil designs and colours), UV Varnish prints, printed tags or labels on the cord handle, embossing or debossing and many other options.

Looking for high-quality varigauge carrier bags with custom printing on coloured LDPE? Our printed polythene bags are ideal for exhibitions, retail promotions, small shops, or short-run marketing campaigns. These bags offer a sleek, professional finish while maintaining the strength and durability needed for everyday use.
Print-Ready Varigauge Bags with Colour Options
The featured example is a custom varigauge carrier bag manufactured from Ivory LDPE and printed with a striking two-colour design in black and red. When printing on coloured LDPE, it's important to note that base colours may influence the final appearance of ink, especially with lighter inks such as white or pastel tones. However, darker or metallic inks such as black, gold, silver, or red maintain their vibrancy and clarity with minimal colour distortion.
Standard Bag Specification:
Type: Varigauge polythene carrier bag
Material: Ivory 45/90mu LDPE
Handle: Die-cut punched handle
Print: 2 colours (black and red) on both sides
Size: 15" (W) x 18" (H) + 3" gusset
Minimum Order: 1,000 bags
These LDPE carrier bags with punched handles are both cost-effective and visually appealing, making them a popular choice for businesses looking to promote their brand at events, trade shows, or point-of-sale environments.

Custom LDPE Patch Handle Carrier Bags – Durable, Printed & Ideal for Retail Promotions
LDPE printed patch handle carrier bags remain one of the most popular and widely used packaging solutions for retailers across the UK and beyond. Commonly found in high street fashion stores, sports retailers, and promotional events or exhibitions, these bags offer a strong, cost-effective, and customisable way to promote your brand while providing a reliable carry solution for your customers.
Strong Reinforced Handle Construction
These premium plastic carrier bags are made from low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and feature a reinforced patch handle design for added strength. During production, a secondary patch of clear or coloured polythene is heat-sealed behind the handle area. This reinforcement significantly increases durability by strengthening what is typically the weakest point of a carrier bag — the handle. As a result, these bags are ideal for carrying heavier or bulkier items without risk of tearing, making them a reliable choice for both retail and event use.
Each bag is side-welded and includes a base gusset, which allows for expanded internal capacity while maintaining a sleek and compact appearance. These design elements enhance functionality without compromising visual appeal.

If you're looking for stylish, strong, and highly customisable carrier bags for retail or events, our LDPE vari-loop and flexiloop handle bags are the ideal solution. Designed for both durability and brand impact, these bags are perfect for fashion boutiques, exhibitions, corporate giveaways, and any business seeking to provide customers with a premium unboxing or carry experience.
What Are Vari-Loop Carrier Bags?
Vari-loop carrier bags, also known as flexiloop handle bags, are made from high-quality low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and are fitted with flexible polythene handles. The key difference from other plastic carrier bags is the reinforced handle loop, which provides extra strength and comfort, allowing the bag to be carried over the shoulder or in hand without tearing.
The vari-gauge material construction means the plastic is thicker at the top (typically around the handle area) and thinner towards the base. This not only improves durability where it's most needed, but also helps reduce overall material weight, making these bags more cost-effective and environmentally efficient.
Our standard gauge is 45/90mu LDPE, which offers a strong, reusable solution perfect for higher-end retail environments.
Customisation Options
At Beckdale, we specialise in custom printed vari-loop carrier bags. Whether you require a single-colour logo or a more detailed two-sided print, we can produce bespoke bags to your specifications.
You can also choose from a wide variety of standard polythene colours for both the bag and the handle. Handles can be made from LDPE or HDPE, and available in short or shoulder-length options depending on order volume.
