Express overprinted

Your logo printed onto a stock bag shape we already hold dies for. Fewer choices, quicker turnaround.

Plain / wholesale

Unprinted bags in bulk, for stores that want the stock without the branding or need a filler alongside a printed run.

Product details

A folded handle is cut and folded from the bag itself, so there is no separate handle to glue on. That makes the bag cheaper to produce at volume and completely flat in storage.

It carries less weight than a twisted or rope handle, so it suits lighter orders: food, single garments, printed matter. For heavier loads we would point you at twisted handles or a rope handle bag.

Because the handle is part of the bag, the whole thing is one material, which keeps disposal simple for the customer holding it.

Best for

Takeout and food service
Events and conferences
Pharmacy and convenience
High-volume repeat runs

Frequently asked questions

+ Which is stronger, folded or twisted handles?
Twisted handles carry more. Folded handles are for lighter loads and for orders where flat storage and unit price matter most.
+ Can folded handle bags be laminated?
Yes, matte or gloss lamination can be added if the bag needs to resist grease or rain.
+ What is the minimum order?
Minimum order depends on the bag style and size. Tell us the bag and the quantity you have in mind and we will confirm it with your price.
+ How long does an order take?
Lead time depends on the run and the finish, counted from the day you approve the proof.
+ Can I see a sample first?
Yes, free samples are available. Ask with your inquiry and say which bags you want to see.
