How do I choose the right bag? Do I need a plastic bag or a paper bag?
The type of packaging bag you need will depend on what you’ll be using it for. There are a few things you should consider when choosing the bags you need:
- Are your products lightweight or heavy?
- What will you be using your bag for? E.g. retail, food, waste disposal or posting products?
- If you’re using bags for posting products, do they need to meet Royal Mail parcel or envelope sizes?
- Do you need to buy bags in high volumes?
For example, if you’re shipping lightweight or letterbox size products like clothes, you will probably want a mailing bag. Whereas if you need a bag to store products and seal them away, a grip seal bag will work well.
