Premium Gloss- Blue Laminated Paper Carrier Bags

Our gloss-laminated paper carrier bags provide an attractive packaging solution for retailers, jewellers, boutiques, beauty businesses, gift shops, event organisers and other customer-facing companies.

The glossy laminated finish gives each bag a polished appearance and helps colours look bright and distinctive. Customers can choose between blue, black and white options to complement different products, branding styles and occasions.

Each carrier includes cord handles that provide a convenient carrying point and enhance the premium presentation. The handles pass through the turned-over top area of the bag, while the flat base and expanding side gussets create practical internal capacity.

These bags work particularly well for businesses that want ready-made premium packaging without committing to a bespoke printed production run.

Blue Glossy Laminated Finish

The laminated exterior creates a smooth, glossy surface and provides a degree of resistance to light moisture and everyday surface marking.

This coating can help the bag maintain its presentation during normal retail use. However, the bags are not waterproof and should not be exposed to rain, liquids, grease or prolonged damp conditions.

Lamination also affects how labels, inks and stamps adhere to the surface. Test any label, sticker or marker on a sample bag before applying it to a larger quantity.

The glossy finish may show fingerprints, scratches, creases and handling marks, particularly on darker colours. Store unused bags carefully and avoid placing heavy objects on top of them.

Cord Handles and Gusseted Construction

Each bag includes two cord handles for convenient carrying. The handles complement the premium laminated finish and provide a more decorative appearance than flat or twisted paper handles.

The expanding side gussets create depth for boxed products and multiple smaller items. A folded flat base helps the bag stand upright while staff arrange the contents.

Make sure the products sit below the top edge so customers can grip both handles comfortably. Contents that reach the handle holes may obstruct the handles or place unnecessary strain on the top of the bag.

Carry the bag using both handles together. Avoid pulling sharply on one handle or using the handles to carry unsuitable weights.

Available Gloss-Laminated Paper Carrier Bag Sizes

We offer the following four laminated carrier bags:

• 5.5 x 3 x 5 inch / approximately 140mm x 76mm x 127mm premium landscape blue gloss-laminated paper carrier bag – 100gsm and sold individually
• 6 x 3 x 8.5 inch / approximately 152mm x 76mm x 216mm premium portrait blue gloss-laminated paper carrier bag – 100gsm and sold individually

We show measurements as width × depth × height.

The width is measured across the front of the bag. The depth represents the expanding side gusset and base, while the height is measured from the bottom to the top edge of the bag and does not include the cord handles.

The metric measurements are approximate conversions from the original imperial sizes. Please use the inch measurements when you require the closest match to the stated product specification.

Choosing Between the Two Sizes

The 140mm x 76mm x 127mm / 5.5 x 3 x 5 inch landscape blue bag is the smallest option. Its wide, shallow format suits jewellery boxes, watches, small accessories, cosmetics, wedding favours and compact gifts.

The 152mm x 76mm x 216mm / 6 x 3 x 8.5 inch portrait blue bag provides additional height for perfume boxes, candles, toiletries, bottles, small gifts and vertically presented products.

Product dimensions alone do not determine suitability. Weight, shape, rigidity and arrangement can all affect the size required.

Landscape and Portrait Formats

The range includes landscape and portrait designs for different product shapes.

Landscape bags are wider than they are tall. They suit jewellery boxes, folded clothing, gift sets and products that require a broad opening.

Portrait bags are taller than they are wide. They work well for books, bottles, perfumes, candles, documents and vertically shaped gift boxes.

Choose a format that allows the product to sit naturally inside the bag. Turning a rigid product sideways to force it into an unsuitable format may damage the gussets, base or laminated surface.

How to Choose the Correct Laminated Paper Carrier Bag Size

Measure the complete width, depth and height of the product before selecting a carrier. When packing several items together, measure their combined dimensions in the arrangement you intend to use.

Allow additional clearance around the contents so staff can place them inside without forcing the gussets or creasing the laminated surface.

The stated depth represents the expanded side gusset and base. Rigid boxes may require additional space because they cannot adapt to the shape of the bag.

Leave enough room above the contents for both cord handles to remain accessible. Products that extend above the top edge may prevent the customer from carrying the bag correctly.

Consider the total weight as well as the dimensions. A product may fit inside the bag but still be too heavy for the paper body, base or handle area.

If your product is valuable, heavy, pointed or close to the stated dimensions, request a sample before ordering a larger quantity.

How to Use Gloss Blue Laminated Carrier Bags

Open the bag carefully and allow the side gussets and folded base to expand fully. Place it on a clean, stable and dry surface before adding the contents.

Position heavier or flatter products at the bottom, then arrange lighter items above them. Distribute the weight evenly across the base.

Protect sharp corners and projecting parts with tissue paper, bubble wrap or another suitable material before placing them inside the bag.

Keep all products below the top edge and make sure both cord handles move freely. Lift the bag using both handles together and avoid pulling sharply against one side.

Support the bag from underneath when carrying bulky, fragile or valuable products. Do not drag it across wet, dirty or rough surfaces.

These bags provide customer-facing presentation packaging. They should not replace boxes, padded mailers or protective transit packaging when sending products through a parcel network.

Sold Individually for Flexible Ordering

We sell all four laminated carrier bags individually, allowing customers to order the exact combination of colours, sizes and quantities required.

Individual sales are useful for start-up businesses, occasional events, gift preparation, sample packaging and retailers that only require small quantities of premium carriers.

Customers can also mix landscape and portrait formats to suit products with different shapes without purchasing complete boxes of each size.

Enter the required number of individual bags when ordering. Check the selected colour and dimensions carefully before adding the product to your basket.

Colour and Presentation Options

The blue laminated bags provide a bright and distinctive presentation suitable for jewellery, accessories, gifts, events and promotional merchandise.

Colours may appear slightly different according to lighting, photography and screen settings. Request a sample if an exact colour match is important to your branding or event.

Branding and Product Identification

The plain laminated surfaces allow businesses to add branded stickers, promotional labels, gift tags and product information.

Coordinate the blue bags with complementary labels, ribbons or tissue paper to create gift and event packaging.

Because the surfaces are laminated, some adhesives, stamps and inks may not bond or dry in the same way as they would on uncoated paper. Test your chosen branding method before applying it to multiple bags.

Contact our sales team if you require professionally printed packaging rather than applying labels or stickers yourself.

Why Choose Our Gloss Blue Laminated Paper Carrier Bags?

Our laminated paper carrier bags combine premium presentation, convenient cord handles and practical gusseted construction.

The four formats accommodate products ranging from small jewellery boxes and cosmetics to books, clothing and larger gift sets.

Their glossy blue, black and white finishes provide ready-made presentation without requiring additional printing. Businesses can use them as supplied or customise them with their own labels, tags and tissue paper.

Selling each bag individually gives customers the flexibility to test different options, prepare for occasional events or order mixed sizes without committing to complete cartons.

Food Contact Information

Do not place unpackaged food directly inside these laminated bags unless the specification for the selected option confirms direct food-contact suitability.

The bags can carry food products already protected by suitable primary packaging, such as sealed confectionery, wrapped gifts, packaged bakery products or securely closed containers.

Make sure the primary packaging prevents food, grease, oil and moisture from reaching the carrier. Hot containers and condensation may affect the paper, adhesive, lamination and base.

If you require confirmation for a particular food application or need a Food Safety Certificate, please email sales@expresspackaging.co.uk before ordering.

PPWR Compliance Information

Regulation (EU) 2025/40 on Packaging and Packaging Waste, commonly known as the PPWR, applies from 12 August 2026 to packaging placed on the EU market.

We can provide available product specifications and supporting information to help customers complete their compliance assessments. However, paper construction or the presence of a laminated coating does not confirm full PPWR compliance.

The responsible economic operator must assess the finished packaging and its intended use against all applicable requirements, including packaging minimisation, substances of concern, material composition, recyclability, labelling and technical documentation.

Customers intending to place these products on the EU market should email sales@expresspackaging.co.uk to request the latest available documentation and confirm suitability for their application before making a PPWR compliance claim.

Material and Responsible Disposal

These bags combine a paper body with a laminated outer coating and cord handles. This mixed construction may affect whether local recycling services will accept them.

Do not automatically place laminated bags into a paper-recycling collection. Check the guidance provided by your local authority or commercial waste contractor.

Where practical, remove the cord handles and any ribbons, plastic labels or other non-paper components before disposal.

Food residue, grease, moisture, adhesives and other contamination may prevent recycling. Where a bag remains clean and undamaged, consider reusing it before placing it into an appropriate waste stream.

Important Safety Information for Laminated paper carrier bags

Store unused bags in a clean, dry area away from moisture, direct heat, naked flames and prolonged sunlight.

Paper is combustible, while excessive heat may damage the laminated coating. Do not use the bags close to hot surfaces or open flames.

Do not overload the bags or use them for products that exceed the strength of the paper, base or handle area.

Support bulky, heavy or valuable contents from underneath when necessary. Protect the interior from pointed objects and sharp corners that could damage the paper or gussets.

Inspect the bag, base and cord handles before use, particularly when carrying valuable or fragile products.

Keep the cord handles away from babies and young children. Do not use the bags or handles as toys.
