White Laminated Paper Carrier Bags

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

The glossy white exterior creates a clean, contemporary presentation that suits a wide range of products, occasions and branding styles.

Each carrier includes two contrasting black cord handles. These handles provide customers with a convenient carrying point while adding definition to the plain white design.

Expanding side gussets and a folded flat base create practical internal capacity for clothing, larger gift boxes, packaged products and multiple purchases.

These bags provide businesses with ready-made premium packaging without requiring a bespoke printed production run. Use them without additional decoration or customise them with labels, gift tags, ribbons and branded stickers.

White Laminated Paper Carrier Finish

The laminated exterior creates a smooth, reflective surface and enhances the clean appearance of the white paper.

Lamination also provides a degree of resistance to light moisture, scratches and everyday surface marking. This can help the bag maintain its presentation during normal retail use.

However, the bag is not waterproof. Do not expose it to rain, liquids, grease, oil or prolonged damp conditions.

White bags may show dirt, dust, scuffs and handling marks. Store unused carriers in a clean, dry place and avoid placing them directly on warehouse or shop floors.

Wipe light surface dust away using a clean, soft and dry cloth. Do not use water, cleaning products or abrasive materials on the laminated surface.

100gsm Paper Construction

This white laminated carrier uses a 100gsm paper specification, providing a practical balance between presentation, flexibility and everyday retail use.

The laminated coating helps the bag maintain a defined shape, while the folded base and expanding side gussets create space for wide products and several smaller purchases.

However, suitability depends on the dimensions, shape and weight of the intended contents. Do not assume that every product that physically fits inside the carrier will be suitable to carry.

Heavy items, sharp corners and unevenly distributed products can place excessive pressure on the paper, base, gussets and cord-handle attachment points.

Support the carrier from underneath when packing or carrying bulky, valuable or heavier merchandise.

Cord Handles and Gusseted Construction

Each bag includes two black cord handles for convenient carrying. The dark handles contrast with the glossy white exterior to create a simple, premium appearance.

The cord handles pass through the turned-over top section of the bag. Customers should use both handles together to distribute the weight evenly.

Expanding side gussets provide 127mm of depth for clothing, gift boxes and multiple products. A folded flat base helps the bag remain upright while staff arrange the contents.

Make sure all 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 carrier.

Avoid pulling sharply on one handle or swinging the bag while carrying products.

Gloss White Laminated Paper Carrier Bag Size

This white gloss-laminated paper carrier bag measures:

• 508mm x 127mm x 406mm / 20 x 5 x 16 inch
• 100gsm paper
• White gloss-laminated finish
• Black cord handles
• Sold individually

We show the measurements as width × depth × height.

The 508mm width is measured across the front of the bag.

The 127mm depth represents the expanding side gusset and base.

The 406mm height is measured from the bottom to the top edge of the carrier and does not include the cord handles.

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

Large Landscape Carrier Format

The 508mm × 127mm × 406mm format creates a wide landscape carrier suitable for clothing, gift boxes and larger retail purchases.

Landscape bags are wider than they are tall, making them particularly useful for products that require a broad opening or sit more naturally in a horizontal position.

The generous width also allows staff to pack multiple smaller purchases together without stacking every item vertically.

However, the 127mm gusset depth remains an important consideration. Wide items may still require a deeper bag if they are bulky, rigid or irregularly shaped.

Suitable Products for This Bag Size

The large landscape format suits a broad selection of retail products, gifts and presentation materials.

Suitable products may include:

• Folded clothing
• Knitwear
• Shirts and lightweight jackets
• Fashion accessories
• Shoe boxes
• Gift boxes
• Beauty and toiletry sets
• Books and catalogues
• Corporate presentation packs
• Wedding gifts
• Promotional merchandise
• Homeware accessories
• Soft furnishings
• Packaged food hampers
• Boxed confectionery
• Several smaller retail purchases

Product shape and weight can affect whether the carrier provides a comfortable fit. Request a sample before ordering a larger quantity if your products are rigid, heavy, pointed or close to the stated dimensions.

How to Choose the Correct Carrier Bag Size

Measure the complete width, depth and height of the product before ordering. 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 127mm depth represents the expanded side gusset and base. Rigid boxes may require additional room because they cannot adapt to the shape of the carrier.

Leave enough space 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 100gsm paper, folded base or handle area.

Request a sample before ordering a larger quantity if your products are valuable, heavy, pointed, irregularly shaped or close to the stated dimensions.

How to Use White Laminated Paper Carrier Bags

Open the carrier 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 carrier using both handles together and avoid pulling sharply against one side.

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

This carrier provides customer-facing presentation packaging. It should not replace a box, padded mailer or protective transit packaging when sending products through a parcel network.

Sold Individually for Flexible Ordering

We sell these white gloss-laminated carrier bags individually, allowing customers to order the exact quantity required without purchasing a complete box.

Individual sales are particularly useful for start-up businesses, occasional events, product launches, exhibitions, gift preparation and retailers that only require small quantities of premium bags.

Customers can test the dimensions and presentation before committing to a larger order. Enter the total number of individual bags required when placing your order.

Branding and Product Identification

The glossy white exterior provides a clean background for branded stickers, promotional labels, gift tags and product information.

Black, gold, silver and brightly coloured labels can provide a noticeable contrast against the white surface.

Businesses can coordinate the bag with tissue paper, ribbons and tags to create premium gift, wedding, event or retail packaging.

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

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

Food Contact Information

Do not place unpackaged food directly inside these white laminated carrier bags unless the product specification confirms direct food-contact suitability.

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

Make sure the primary packaging prevents food, grease, oil and moisture from reaching the paper carrier. Hot containers and condensation may affect the paper, adhesive, laminated coating 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 of White Laminated Paper Carrier Bags

These carriers 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 recycling or waste stream.

Important Safety Information

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 100gsm 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.
