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.

Polythene Bags are a perfect way to advertise your shop

Polythene carrier bags, are  a very way of getting your company logo into the market place.  The more advertising you do,  the more you are likely to be recognised by  other people and as a consequence visit your establishment.

Printed carrier bags are commonly overlooked and with people using plain carrier bags, but did you know that your printed bags will be viewed by at least forty other people. The potential for increase in profits is enormous if  just a fraction of those people actually come into your shop.
