Carrier Bags

Yes, paper bags are a great alternative to their plastic equivalents. They are fully recyclable and easily personalised with your logo, company name or custom message for an enhanced brand experience.

Yes, polyethene bags can be recycled at many supermarkets with other bags.

Macfarlane Packaging’s range of polythene carrier bags also contain 50% recycled content.

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 bag you need:

• Weight of items: Are your products lightweight or heavy?
• Volume: Do you need to buy bags in high volumes?
• Protection Needs: If your products need protection from moisture, rain or potential spills, polythene bags might be the better option due to their water-resistant properties.
• Sustainability: Opting for eco-friendly carrier bags made from sustainable materials significantly reduces their environmental impact, compared to traditional plastic carrier bags.
