Packaging Bags

How to choose the right packaging bags for your business needs

Choosing the right packaging bags may be the least of your concerns, especially if you have a long to-do list. However, not only does the correct packaging ensure your items are secure in transit, it can also help you to stay organised. For example, grip seal bags with write-on panels make labelling inventory effortless. With no need to attach any additional labels, these types of grip seal packaging bags make it quick and convenient to identify the contents at a glance. Organising your stock with these bags is a great way to become more efficient as a business.

Alternatively, if labelling isn't a priority or need for you, you can use plain grip seal bags. Similar to the write-on bags, these bags have a tight, secure seal that protects the contents from moisture, dust and other contaminants, making them ideal for storing and transporting small parts, documents or other items that need to stay clean and protected. The seal will stay secure but is also easy to open, making it the ideal reusable bag for you or your customers.

What are the benefits of using paper packaging bags for e-commerce?

Using paper packaging bags for e-commerce offers several benefits, both environmentally and economically. Paper bags are recyclable, reducing the environmental impact compared to plastic alternatives. It can be a great packaging choice to reflect any sustainability practices your business may have in place.

Brown paper bags are also versatile and can be easily customised with branding - for example with a logo stamp - offering an attractive and eco-conscious presentation. Additionally, they are durable enough to protect products during transit, while being lightweight, which can help to reduce shipping costs.

Can you recycle polythene packaging bags?

Yes, polythene packaging bags can be recycled, but the recycling process varies depending on local facilities and regulations. Some polythene, especially the higher density type used for items such as drinks bottles can typically be put in your recycling bin for collection. However, polythene bags are usually a softer, more flexible material. You would need to check whether your local council accepts this type of polythene in kerbside recycling. If not, it's still quite easy to recycle polythene bags as some major supermarkets will recycle flexible plastic for you. All you need to do is bring it along when you do your weekly shop and pop it in the bin provided.

As well as being recyclable, our polythene bags are also reusable and suitable for thermic recycling, making them a great sustainable option for your business.
