MaterialPE
Product description
- Mono-material 100% polyethylene
- Film produced in our own facilities
- Flexographic printing, up to eight colours; also produced unprinted
- Food-contact production available on request
The plastic bag is DEKA’s general purpose plain polyethylene bag. It has no handle; it is used for packing, grouping, shipment and presentation — work that does not call for a carrier. If you need a handle see our handle bags page, and for heavy contents see our reinforced bag page.
Production
The product is mono-material 100% polyethylene. The film is produced in our own facilities by blown extrusion as a single layer; there is no lamination, no barrier layer, no metallised layer and no non-polyethylene component such as paper, aluminium or polyamide. Flexographic printing is applied in our own facilities and goes up to eight colours; the bag is also produced unprinted.
Which bag, when?
DEKA’s PE bag family is distinguished by handle form. The plastic bag is plain, with no handle. Handle bags carry a handle for carrying. The reinforced bag has a strengthened handle and mouth area, preferred for heavy contents. The unprinted bag is the plain, economical option that carries no printing. Describe what you are carrying and how, and we will decide together. All four are the same material; where they differ is the handle and the printing.
Variants
A side or bottom gusset can be given. A hang hole can be added. The bottom of the bag can be supplied taped or untaped. The surface can be gloss or matt.
Material and compliance
The product can be made to two formulations and they exclude one another. For food-contact work only virgin polymer is used and production is carried out under our declaration of compliance. Where recycled content is required, recycled polyethylene can be used at the requested share; that variant is for non-food use.
If you ship into the EU, this product falls within the scope of our declaration of material composition; you can find which documents you may request on our PPWR compliance page.
What do you need for a quote?
What is being packed, its weight and size, whether it will touch food, your printing requirement and your estimated annual volume. With that we work out the dimensions, gauge and print plan together.
Dimensions and gauge are set per order.
