The features of t-shirt bags, their advantages, areas of application, and tips for choosing high-quality packaging for your business.
What is a t-shirt bag?
A t-shirt bag is a plastic bag with characteristic handles that resemble the straps of a t-shirt (hence the name). The handle design ensures easy carrying and even weight distribution across the entire surface of the bag.
Main characteristics of t-shirt bags:
✅ Made from low-density polyethylene (LDPE) or high-density polyethylene (HDPE)
✅ High strength and elasticity
✅ Excellent load capacity
✅ Easy to fold and store
✅ Waterproof and resistant to temperature changes
T-shirt bags are intended for single use, but due to their strength and functionality, customers often reuse them.
Why the t-shirt bag is a universal solution for businesses
T-shirt bags remain popular worldwide due to their numerous advantages:
✅ 1. High load capacity and strength
T-shirt bags have high resistance to loads thanks to their double handles and strong material.
Fact:
A t-shirt bag made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) can hold up to 15–20 kg without tearing.
Example:
In supermarkets, t-shirt bags are used for packing heavy goods such as vegetables, bottled drinks, and household chemicals.
✅ 2. Lightweight and compact
T-shirt bags are lightweight and easy to fold, taking up minimal space.
Fact:
A t-shirt bag weighing 8 g can carry up to 1000 times its own weight.
Example:
T-shirt bags can be stored at checkout in rolls or stacks, allowing cashiers to quickly pack goods.
✅ 3. Waterproof and dirt-resistant
Polyethylene is a waterproof material that protects products from moisture and dirt.
Fact:
Polyethylene remains elastic and waterproof even at temperatures from -50°C to +60°C.
Example:
In delivery services, t-shirt bags protect products from rain and snow during transportation.
✅ 4. Low production cost
The production of t-shirt bags is economically profitable due to the low cost of polyethylene and high production speed.
Fact:
The cost of one t-shirt bag is between 0.20 and 0.50 UAH for wholesale orders.
Example:
Stores can provide free packaging for customers without significant expenses.
✅ 5. Recycling capability
Modern t-shirt bags are made from polyethylene that can be recycled.
Fact:
Polyethylene can be recycled up to 10 times without losing its properties.
Example:
Using recycled bags helps businesses comply with environmental standards.
✅ 6. Easy branding
T-shirt bags can be easily printed with logos and promotional elements.
Fact:
Studies show that customers remember a brand in 80% of cases when they see the logo on the packaging.
Example:
Bags with a company logo serve as mobile advertising when customers reuse them in everyday life.
