Selling in Germany or France? Single-use carrier bags under 50 µm are banned at the checkout there. We make 50 µm+ reusable-grade t-shirt bags for EU retailers. South Africa requires at least 24 µm – we’ll quote to your local rule.
T-Shirt Bags, Made to Your Market’s Rules
We’ve been making t-shirt bags in Vietnam for over 20 years. Most of what leaves our factory goes to supermarkets, take-out shops and distributors in the US, Europe, Africa and Japan.
The bag looks simple. The spec isn’t. A US grocery chain wants a 1/6 barrel bag around 0.6 mil. A German retailer can’t legally hand that bag out at all – it has to be 50 µm or more. So the first thing we ask is: where will your bags be used? Then we tell you what works there.
Where our t-shirt bags are used
- Supermarkets and grocery stores
- Convenience stores and pharmacies
- Restaurants and take-out
- Street markets and wholesale markets
- Private label for packaging distributors
How ordering works
- Tell us the size, thickness, color and print. If you’re not sure, send a sample bag or a photo.
- Get a free sample from stock, or a custom sample made to your spec.
- Approve the sample. Lead time starts from this date: 4–6 weeks for a first order, 3–4 weeks for a repeat.
- We send production photos while your order is running.
- Inspect before loading. You or a third-party inspector can check the goods before the container is loaded.
Quality control. Our plants work to Japan’s JIS standard and ISO 9001 quality management. Every pack carries a lot number, so if anything is ever wrong, you send us a photo of the lot number and we can trace it back to the exact production run.
Printed bags. Reorder within 2 years and you don’t pay the printing plate fee again.
FAQ
What’s the minimum order?
MOQ depends on size, print and material. Send us your spec and we’ll quote the lowest quantity that makes sense for you.
Can you match the bag I’m buying now?
Yes. Send us one bag, or a photo with a ruler next to it, and tell us how many you use per month.
Do your bags meet EU rules?
We make 50 µm+ bags for markets like Germany and France, and compostable options on request. Tell us your country and we’ll quote the right spec.
What thickness should I choose for a US grocery store?
Most 1/6 barrel t-shirt bags in the US are 13–18 µm (about 0.5–0.7 mil) HDPE.
