Costs can vary depending on the bag you choose, the printing requirements and additional features, and the quantities you order. Submit a quote for your bags and we’ll get back to you regarding costs.

This will depend on the type of bag. For polythene bags, we recommend the following sizes:

380(W)x457(L)x75(G)mm

457(W)x457(L)x75(G)mm

560(W)x457(L)x75(G)mm

For paper bags, we recommend:

240(W)x310(L)x110(G)mm

320(W)x420(L)x130(G)mm

400 (W)x450(L)x160(G)mm

For luxury bags, we can be completely flexible on size. Consider the use case, review our luxury bag inspiration, and if you're still unsure, get in touch and we can help you design your perfect sized bag. For more information on bag sizes, see our carrier bag size guides.

All of the bags listed above are great choices for fashion retailers, and typically make up the majority of the carrier bags used in the fashion industry. The three most popular bags are the plastic flexiloop handle carrier bag, the twisted handle paper bag, and the luxury gift bag. The flexiloop handle bag is versatile & cost-effective, the twisted handle paper bag is eco-friendly and stylish, and the luxury bag is the perfect bag for high-end fashion retailers.

This primarily depends on your selection of carrier bag. If complete control over customisation is your main priority, then our luxury bags are ideal as there’s no limits to what you can do to customise these bags. Our twisted handle paper bags and polythene options are also very flexible in terms of customisation, and for quantities over 10,000 bags, or for regular re-orders, we can work with you to create something bespoke if required.

A luxury fashion carrier bag is typically made from a high-quality paper. This can be left unlaminated for a rustic and organic look & feel or laminated with a matte or glossy finish for a classy, premium styling.

Both paper and plastic bags have their merit for fashion outlets. Plastic carrier bags look fantastic printed, can have quicker delivery times, are typically more cost-effective, are stronger and weatherproof, and are easier to store. Paper bags are on-trend, much more eco-friendly as they’re recyclable at home, and are more stylish than a plastic bag.

The fashion industry has a reputation for unsustainable and unethical practices, particularly related to fast fashion. Eco-friendly alternatives such as plastic-free bags, biodegradable bags such as jute bags and paper bags are a great way to show that your brand takes it’s environmental commitments seriously.

Yes, the best biodegradable option for fashion bags are our potato starch carrier bags. These are strong, easily printable, and will disintegrate into natural matter in 3 months.
