When it comes to choosing the right plastic packaging for your business, the two most common options are T-Shirt Bags and Die-Cut Handle Bags. Both are highly functional and widely used across retail, grocery, and service industries—but which one is best for your needs?
T-Shirt Bags – Cost-Effective & Durable

T-shirt bags, also known as grocery bags or vest carrier bags, are made from HDPE or LDPE and feature side gussets and loop handles, giving them a look similar to a tank top—hence the name “t-shirt.”
Why choose T-shirt bags?
- Highly economical: Ideal for high-volume use with a low unit cost.
- Strong load capacity: Double handles provide extra strength and stretch.
- Easy to store & dispense: Compact packaging, perfect for small spaces.
- Versatile applications: Widely used in supermarkets, convenience stores, takeout services, and more.
They’re the perfect solution for businesses that need affordable, reliable, and easy-to-use packaging for a wide range of products.
Die-Cut Handle Bags – Sleek & Stylish

Die-cut handle bags are made from LDPE or MDPE and feature a punched-out handle directly from the bag material, often with reinforcements for added strength.
Why choose Die-Cut Handle bags?
- Professional appearance: Clean-cut design suitable for boutiques, showrooms, and promotional events.
- Custom branding potential: Great for high-quality printing and brand visibility.
- Sturdy & presentable: Offers a more refined customer experience.
- Variety of finishes: Available in matte, glossy, and frosted styles.
Die-cut handle bags are a go-to choice for businesses that want to project a premium image while maintaining functionality.
