Carrier Bags – An Affordable Way to Promote Your Business

With small and larger companies alike competing for their customer’s attention, sometimes within a very crowded market place it can be difficult to decide how to promote your business effectively and affordably. 

There are many ways to do this, Digital media is becoming more and more popular but can become very expensive to implement and maintain, usually needing an outside professional to set up and run your campaign, also traditional print media such as leaflets is still very popular but have a very short life span and normally end up in the bin with the customer not having read any of the information provided.

There is another type of media that is versatile, re usable and cost effective………. Carrier Bags!  Carrier bags are an affordable and effective way to promote your business and they have the added benefit of being re usable so your business will be seen again and again as they turn your customers into “walking ambassadors” of your brand.  With the modern printing processes and huge array of bags to choose from you can create something that makes your brand stand out from the crowd.

Because of the relatively inexpensive nature of these products you can afford to have an eco friendly, sturdy product such as Jute, Cotton or Woven PP which will not only show your companies concern for the environment but will ultimately last much longer and customers will be more likely to re use them thus promoting your brand for longer.

An interesting design is always sure to cause interest.  This is a recent design, printed onto a cotton bag, which made us laugh. Can't help but think it was describing me!

The benefits of using a Carrier Bag Specialist

Carrier bags are used in many industries as they are a very cost effective way of packaging their products and they are a visual way of displaying a brand name.


Businesses should outsource the manufacture of their carrier bags to specialists with experience and competency in the field of printed paper and polythene bags as this way, they get the product they want and is best suited to their needs, rather than being "steered" towards a product that a specific printer/ factory can actually produce.


Specialists in the industry have scoured the globe for reliable factories and can offer a vast product range thus ensuring the customer gets exactly what they want. 


If you have a specific requirement, then contact a specialist in their field www.templecoombe.co.uk

Do you think these will take off??

We are thinking about selling these, do you think they will take off?

Carrier bag tax in Wales

It's all over the news, but the details are still a bit fuzzy! I am taking about the Plastic Carrier Bag Tax in Wales due to come into force October 2011.

Having spoken to various people, we are still unsure of the details. We are waiting for our local MP, who is in touch with George Osbourne MP.

From what we can gather so far, it will be up to the retailer to collect the tax (5p) & distribute it to good causes (eh?). It will only apply to single use carrier bags, which we think will be classed as anything under 50 micron.

If this turns out to be completely untrue - sorry!

Great quality printed polythene bags from Templecoombe Ltd.

This is an example of process printing onto polythene bags using the new Kodak NX plates. As you can see, the quality is simply superb!

If your design would benefit from this sort of quality, then please get in touch or call 01234 712121

History of Polythene Bags

Polythene bags (polyethylene bags) were first made in the USA in 1957; used for the packaging of food stuffs. By 1966, almost one third of bakery products produced in the USA were packed in them. By 1973, the volume of polyethylene bags produced in Western Europe reached almost twelve-million units. In 1982, large shopping centers started to sell plastic bags with handles (the “T-shirt bags”). By 2002, the total yearly volume of plastic bags produced in the world reached five- trillion units.

Types of Polyethylene Bags

1. T-shirt bags made of low-density “rustling” polyethylene or high-density “smooth” polyethylene, which received their name for the shape of their handles. They were the last to come onto the market, but they secured their positions in supermarkets and retail outlets.  

2. Bags with patch and loop handles made of high/medium/low density polyethylene. They are the most difficult to produce. Their handles can be welded or glued.

3. Rubbish bags made of low/high density polyethylene, or from a mixture. They often have dyes added to their material. They are available without handles.

5. Branded polythene bags – these often have a company trademark on them.  

Polyethylene

Polyethylene is a thermoplastic ethylene polymer; it's the most common plastic used in the world. It looks like a waxy white mass (thin sheets are transparent and colorless). This material is chemical and frost resistant; it’s an insulator and shock absorber; it softens when heated and solidifies when cooled. People sometimes confuse it with cellophane - a similar material of plant origin.

Polyethylene was invented by a German engineer in 1899, but didn’t become widespread back then. It started to become widespread in 1933 due to the efforts of two British engineers. First, it was used for telephone cables; in the 1950’s, it started to be used for polythene bags in the food industry.

Polyethylene is made by ethylene polymerization. They separate high-density, medium-density and low-density polyethylene. Polyethylene is water-resistant, and doesn’t react with alkali, salt solutions, or acids. It undergoes thermal aging with time.

Polyethylene Uses  

- Packaging film.

- Packaging (bottles, plastic boxes, and bottle caps)

- Pipes (for sewerage, drainage, water supply, and gas supply).

- Insulating material.

- Powder for hot-melt glue.

- Armor for bullet-proof vests.

- The “ultrahigh molecular polyethylene” is used in medicine for joint cartilage replacement.
