Who uses compostable grocery bags
Grocery carrier bags are used by supermarkets and grocery chains, kirana and provision stores, organic and refill stores, and daily-needs retailers. They are sized and gauged for a weekly shop, with a strong base and handles.
The bags are food-contact safe and printable for store branding. Our specification lists them as compliant with single-use plastic bans.
Sizes and thickness
| Specification | Range |
|---|---|
| Sizes | 10"×14" to 16"×20" |
| Thickness | 25 – 50 microns |
Bags run from 10"×14" to 16"×20". Small sizes suit a few items, and larger sizes suit a full basket. The handle can be W-cut, U-cut or loop, so choose the style that your customers and counter staff find easiest.
How to choose the right thickness
Bags are made in 25 to 50 microns, with a load rating of up to 6 kg, depending on size. Lower gauges suit light packaged goods. Higher gauges suit heavier items such as bottles, cans and bulk staples. The rating depends on the size, so tell us your heaviest typical basket when you request a quote.
Disposal and storage
Used bags should go to industrial composting where it is available, and bags that held food can go in with food waste. Our specification states that the bag returns to soil within 240 days in industrial composting. Store unused bags in a cool, dry place; shelf life is 12 months from the date of manufacture.
