Carrier Bag Sizes

Choosing your carrier bag size can feel like a complicated process. With so many bag types, handle options, gusset options and other factors to consider, paired with implications surrounding quantities on bag sizing and print options, it's often an understandably confusing task. We've worked with thousands of brands to help them create their perfect bag, whether it's a high-quantity standard-size polythene bag, a colourful printed and gusseted fabric bag, or a fully bespoke luxury bag.

Our size guides for carrier bags walk you through how to measure your bag, what the standard sizes are, and give you visuals to help you understand what your bag is going to look like. Each size of bag has a different use case, and each bag type has a range of standard sizes to choose from (excluding luxury bags, where each bag is bespoke). Some bag sizes enable the opportunity to order in lower quantities with single colour prints, enabling you to get a custom bag at a quantity that is reasonable for you. 

If you're looking for something completely bespoke, and a size that's completely out of our guides' specifications, get in touch. There's no other supplier in the UK able to source and create completely bespoke bags like we can.

What is the right size bag?

Getting the right bag size is not always as easy as you think. Not only does a printed carrier bag need to be the right size for your product, you also need to consider the depth (or gusset) of your bag. Further, depending on your budget, you may be looking for lower quantities, which will also affect the bag size you can choose (and the number of colours printable on your bag). Our helpful bag size guides walk you through the process of sizing your bag, with helpful scaled images and full details on any minimum-quantity differences and printing limitations associated with your size choice.
