Product description
- Reinforced handle and mouth area — for heavy contents
- Mono-material 100% polyethylene
- Flexographic printing, up to eight colours; also produced unprinted
- Food-contact production available on request
The reinforced bag is a polyethylene bag with a strengthened handle and mouth area. Once the bag is loaded, stress concentrates at these two points. Choose this product when heavy contents are carried, and handle bags at standard loads. It is also used for multi-item orders and for shipment.
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. Cutting and sealing are also done in our own facilities.
Reinforced or handle bag?
DEKA’s PE bag family is distinguished by handle form, and these two are the closest pair. The handle bag has a standard handle. In the reinforced bag the handle and mouth are strengthened. The choice follows the weight of what is carried; tell us the weight and how the bag will be used and we will decide together. If no handle is needed, the plain plastic bag is enough; if printing is not planned either, the unprinted bag suits you.
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?
The weight and size of what is carried, how the bag will be used, your printing requirement, your surface and bottom tape preference, and your estimated annual volume. With that we work out the dimensions, gauge and print plan together.

Frequently asked questions
Where exactly is the reinforcement?
At the handle and around the mouth of the bag. These are the two points where stress concentrates once the bag is loaded.
How does it differ from the transport bag?
The two work on different axes. In the reinforced bag the strengthening goes to the load points: the handle and mouth area. In the transport bag the scale grows instead — the ceiling for film gauge and dimensions is higher than in our other PE bags. Tell us the weight and size of what is carried and we will decide together which one suits you.
How does it differ from a handle bag?
The handle bag has a standard handle. In the reinforced bag the handle and mouth area are strengthened, which is what you want when heavy contents are carried. Tell us the weight being carried and we will decide together.
What dimensions and gauge do you produce?
Dimensions and gauge are set per order. Tell us the weight and size of what is carried and how the bag will be used, and we will settle the specification together.
Can it be used for food-contact products?
Yes, food-contact production is available on request. In that case production is carried out under our declaration of compliance and only virgin polymer is used.
Can it be printed?
Yes, flexographic printing goes up to eight colours; the bag is also produced unprinted. The surface can be gloss or matt.
