White HD Carrier Bags

Our white high-density plastic carrier bags provide a simple and cost-effective packaging solution for shops, market traders, exhibitions, events and other customer-facing businesses.

The clean white finish offers a versatile appearance that suits many different retail environments. Businesses can use these bags for everyday purchases without committing to the additional cost associated with premium or heavy-duty carrier bags.

Each bag measures approximately 300mm wide × 300mm high with a 100mm bottom gusset, equivalent to approximately 11.8 × 11.8 × 3.9 inches. The compact front profile suits accessories, cosmetics, cards, stationery, small gifts and other lightweight merchandise.

The expanding bottom gusset provides additional internal capacity and allows the carrier to accommodate thicker or bulkier products more effectively than a completely flat bag. The bags do not have side gussets.

An integrated punched-out handle creates a convenient carrying point without requiring separate loop, flexiloop or paper handles. The open top also allows staff to pack customer purchases quickly during busy trading periods.

These are standard-quality carriers designed for economical everyday use. They are not heavy-duty transit bags and should not be overloaded or used for bulky, sharp or unusually heavy products.

Cost-Effective Carriers for Everyday Retail Use

Packaging costs can quickly increase in businesses that distribute large numbers of bags. These white HDPE carrier bags provide an economical option for routine customer purchases where premium presentation or heavy-duty carrying strength is not required.

Their simple construction makes them easy to open, fill and hand to the customer. Staff do not need to assemble the bag, unfold separate handles or remove an adhesive backing before packing products.

The 100mm bottom gusset expands as products enter the carrier, creating additional space for boxed, folded or irregularly shaped merchandise. This makes the bag more versatile than a flat carrier of a similar width and height.

The bags store flat before use, allowing businesses to keep a practical quantity close to the till, serving counter or packing area. Their compact format can help reduce the storage space required compared with boxes, rigid packaging and larger carrier bags.

The plain white surface creates a clean presentation and may accommodate suitable product labels, promotional stickers or branded labels. Always test labels before widespread use, as adhesion can vary according to the label material, adhesive and surface conditions.

High-Density Polythene Construction

These carrier bags use high-density polythene, commonly abbreviated to HDPE. This material generally produces a lighter, firmer and more rustling carrier bag than the softer low-density polythene commonly used for premium retail carriers.

HDPE allows manufacturers to produce practical carrier bags using relatively thin film. This helps keep the bags lightweight and cost effective while providing a suitable solution for everyday lightweight merchandise.

However, high-density polythene can puncture or tear if placed under excessive pressure. Sharp corners, pointed objects and projecting components require suitable protection before insertion.

“High density” describes the type of polythene used. It does not mean that the bag is automatically heavy duty or suitable for dense, heavy or industrial products.

White HD Carrier Bags Size

This white high-density carrier bag is available in the following size:

• 11.8 x 11.8 x 3.9 inch / 300mm x 300mm x 100mm white high-density carrier bags

We show measurements as width × height × bottom gusset.

The imperial measurements provide approximate conversions from the metric bag dimensions. Please use the millimetre measurements when you require an exact fit.

The 100mm bottom gusset folds flat when the bag is empty and expands as products enter the carrier. It increases the bag’s capacity but does not mean that every product measuring the complete stated width, height and depth will fit comfortably.

Please check the quantity shown on the individual product listing before ordering.

How to Choose the Correct Carrier Bag Size

Measure the complete width, height and depth of the product before selecting a carrier bag. The shape and rigidity of the contents will affect how much of the available capacity they use.

The 100mm bottom gusset allows the bag to open at the base and accommodate products with additional depth. However, the contents will still use part of the available width and height as the plastic expands around them.

For flat or slim items, choose a bag that provides comfortable clearance around every edge. For thicker products, allow additional space so staff can insert the item without stretching the plastic or placing unnecessary pressure on the seams.

Leave enough room above the contents for the customer to use the punched-out handle comfortably. Products that reach too close to the handle opening can make the bag awkward to carry and may increase stress around the handle area.

When placing several products into one bag, measure their combined dimensions and consider their total weight. If the contents feel tight, heavy or difficult to arrange, use a larger or stronger carrier bag.

We recommend requesting a sample before placing a larger order if your products are bulky, rigid, pointed or close to the stated dimensions.

How to Use White HD Carrier Bags

Open the bag carefully and allow the 100mm bottom gusset to expand before inserting the products.

Place flatter or slightly heavier products at the bottom before adding lighter merchandise. Arrange the contents evenly across the gusset and avoid concentrating all the weight on one side of the bag.

Protect sharp corners, pointed packaging and projecting components with tissue paper, bubble wrap, cardboard or another appropriate material. Avoid forcing oversized products into the carrier.

Make sure the contents remain below the punched-out handle so the customer can grip the bag comfortably. Once packed, check the handle area and support the bag from underneath if there is any uncertainty about the combined weight of the contents.

These bags provide convenient customer-carry packaging. They should not replace a mailing bag, padded bag, cardboard box or other protective packaging when sending products through a postal or parcel-delivery network.

Suitable Retail Applications for White HD Carrier Bags

The compact 300mm × 300mm front profile and expanding 100mm bottom gusset make these carriers particularly useful for businesses selling small and lightweight products.

Fashion retailers can use them for accessories, hosiery and smaller garments. Gift shops can pack cards, souvenirs and compact presents, while beauty businesses can use them for packaged cosmetics, hair accessories and personal-care products.

The bottom gusset provides useful additional capacity for small boxes, grouped purchases and products that would not sit comfortably inside a completely flat carrier bag.

The bags also suit exhibitions, promotional events and trade counters distributing catalogues, samples or lightweight printed materials that fit comfortably below the handle.

Their simple white appearance works across many business types, including pharmacies, gift shops, card shops, craft retailers, market stalls, salons, independent boutiques and general retail stores.

Why Choose Our White HD Carrier Bags?

Our white high-density carrier bags combine straightforward handling with economical everyday packaging. They provide a practical option for businesses that need a standard-quality carrier without the additional cost of a premium or heavy-duty bag.

The open-top construction allows quick packing, while the integrated punched handle gives customers a convenient way to carry their purchases.

The expanding 100mm bottom gusset increases the internal capacity and helps the bag accommodate small boxes, folded goods and other products with additional depth.

Their compact white format works particularly well for small retail products, accessories and promotional materials. Meanwhile, the clean finish provides a versatile appearance suitable for many different brands and retail settings.

Because the bags store flat before use, businesses can keep useful quantities close to the checkout without occupying unnecessary counter or shelving space.

Food Contact Information

Do not use these white high-density carrier bags for direct contact with unpackaged food unless the product specification confirms food-contact suitability.

The bags may be used to carry food products that already have suitable primary packaging, provided the combined size and weight remain appropriate for the carrier.

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.

High-density polythene construction or potential recyclability alone 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, recycled content, 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 carrier bags use high-density polythene construction. Clean HDPE bags may suit specialist carrier-bag or flexible-plastic recycling collections, depending on the facilities available in your area.

Many household kerbside recycling services do not accept plastic bags or flexible films. Some supermarkets, commercial waste contractors and specialist recycling facilities provide separate collection points.

Remove paper receipts, labels and other non-polythene components where practical. Bags contaminated with food, oil, chemicals or other substances may not be accepted for recycling.

Where a bag remains clean and undamaged, consider reusing it before placing it into an appropriate recycling or waste stream. Always follow guidance from your local authority or commercial waste contractor.

Recycled-material content can vary according to the product specification and stock batch. Please contact our sales team if you require confirmation of the recycled content for this product.

Important Safety Information

Keep unused bags away from babies and young children to reduce the risk of suffocation. Do not use the bags as toys, protective clothing or bedding.

Store the bags in a clean, dry location away from direct heat, naked flames and prolonged sunlight. High-density polythene can melt or burn when exposed to high temperatures.

Do not overload the bags or use them for products that exceed the strength of the material or handle area. Support the contents from underneath when necessary.

Protect the plastic from sharp corners and pointed objects that could cause punctures or tears. Check the bag, seams, bottom gusset and handle before use, particularly when carrying valuable or fragile products.
