    What does it look and feel like?
    Like a supermarket carrier, this is a vest carrier bag which refers to the vest shaped appearance of the bag. It's manufactured from a high density polythene which means it's scrunchy and thin to touch, just like a supermarket carrier. And just like a supermarket carrier, these bags are primarily designed for function over form. It's rare that you would find this type of bag in high end boutiques but you'll be sure to find them in the vast majority of high street stores.
    What's it used for?
    Standard duty:
    General purpose carrier bag, typically used for small grocery items, household goods, light clothing items, hats, kidswear and pot plants. This is the thinnest version of this carrier bag and is not suitable for heavy items and / or items with sharp corners.

    Medium duty:
    Slightly thicker than the standard duty version, this carrier bag is ideal for certain clothing lines (such as light jackers, trousers and shirts) as well as many food lines (meat, fruit and veg and specialist foods). This bag is also popular with shoe retailers as it accommodates small shoe boxes (typically ladies shoes) and shoes that are sold without boxes.

    Heavy duty:
    This is a good quality, strong carrier bag, typically used by food retailers for heavy food items including butchers who are bagging meat on the bone. Also commonly used for tools, pet food and books. Owing to its strength, this bag does not tear easily.
    What do the dimensions mean?
    279mm x 432mm x 533mm (11in x 17in x 21in) means:
    • the bag width is 279mm (11in) but expands outwards to 432mm (17in) when the gusset is fully opened
    • the bag length is 533mm (21in)
    Still confused? Take a look at the diagram below:
    • A = 279mm (11in)
    • B = 432mm (17in)
    • C = 533mm (21in)

    How does it compare to a typical supermarket carrier?
    Proportions White Patch Handle Carrier Bag Typical Supermarket Carrier Bag
    White Patch Handle Carrier Bag Tesco Vest Carrier Bag
    Taller and wider than a typical supermarket carrier. On first impressions this bag may look slightly shorter than a typical supermarket carrier but this is only because a supermarket carrier has very long "vest" style handles.
    Size Standard = 380mm x 450mm + 75mm
    (15in x 18in + 3in)    		 305mm x 483cm x 533mm
    (12in x 19in x 21in)
    Fashion = 550mm x 450mm + 75mm
    (22in x 18in + 3in)
    Thickness Standard = 27.5 micron
    (110 gauge)
    Approximately 35% thicker than a typical supermarket carrier.    		 18 micron
    (72 gauge)
    Fashion = 30 micron
    (120 gauge)
    Approximately 40% thicker than a typical supermarket carrier.
    What does it look and feel like?
    Patch handle carrier bags combine good looks with quality and strength and are generally considered a step up from your average "vest" type supermarket carrier which favours function over form. This patch handle carrier is manufactured from a low density polythene which means it feels smooth and thick to touch when compared with a supermarket carrier. Low density polythene also lacks the noisy scrunch that is often associated with cheaper, lower quality carrier bags like supermarket carriers. As such, you'll find patch handle carrier bags are popular with retailers who want to suggest an air of quality about their products.
    What's it used for?
    Standard:
    A general purpose, good quality carrier bag, popular with fashion retailers and those selling quality product lines. Typically use for packaging skirts, shirts, trousers, knitwear and hats as well as toys and quality household goods.

    Fashion:
    As the name suggests, owing to its wider dimension, this bag is particularly popular with fashion retailers and is ideal for suits, jackets and other bulky fashion lines. It's also frequently used for towels and bedding as well as numerous other bulky products where width is required.
    What do the dimensions mean?
    Let's take the the Standard bag as an example, 380mm x 450mm + 75mm (15in x 18in + 3in) means:
    • the bag width is 380mm (15in)
    • the bag length is 450mm (18in)
    • the bag has a bottom gusset of 75mm (3in)
    Still confused? Take a look at the diagram below:
    • A = 380mm (15in)
    • B = 450mm (18in)
    • C = 75mm (3in)
