Product description
- Unprinted — for work where no branding is needed
- Mono-material 100% polyethylene
- Food-contact production available on request
- Gusset, hang hole and surface options
The unprinted bag is a plain polyethylene bag carrying no printing. It exists as a separate order item for work where printing is never considered: inner packaging, intermediate packing, warehouse and shipment use — anywhere branding is not needed.
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.
What unprinted means
This product exists as a separate order item for work where no branding is planned, and it is the economical option.
Let us answer a common question up front: being unprinted does not affect recycling. According to our declaration of material composition, ink is a surface coating and does not change the material identity of the film; printed and unprinted products have the same material composition. What sets this product apart is the absence of printing, not a different material.
Which bag, when?
DEKA’s PE bag family is distinguished by handle form. The unprinted bag carries no printing. The plastic bag is plain and can be printed. Handle bags carry a handle. In the reinforced bag the handle and mouth are strengthened. If you are thinking about branding, see those three rather than this page.
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
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 gusset and surface preference, and your estimated annual volume. With that we work out the dimensions, gauge and thickness together.
Dimensions and gauge are set per order.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a difference between this and our other bags produced unprinted?
The material is the same. This page exists as a separate order item for work where printing is never considered; our other products can also be produced unprinted on request. This product is the economical option. If you are thinking about branding, see the plastic bag or handle bags pages.
Does being unprinted affect recycling?
No. According to our declaration of material composition, ink is a surface coating and does not change the material identity of the film; printed and unprinted products have the same material composition. What sets this product apart is the absence of printing, not a different material.
What dimensions and gauge do you produce?
Dimensions, gauge and thickness are set per order. Tell us the weight and size of what is packed and how it is shipped, 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 I add printing later?
On a new order, of course. Printed production is planned separately; for printing options see our plastic bag or handle bags pages.
