What Is A T-shirt Bag?

T-shirt bags are also called “shopping bags” or “carrying bags”. In fact, the main feature is that they have handles similar to tank top shoulder straps for easy carrying.

T-shirt bag Uses

T-shirt bags have many uses because they are lightweight, durable, and waterproof. Common ones include:

  1. Shopping bags: Commonly used in supermarkets, convenient stores, and clothing stores to bag goods.
  2. Garbage bags: Used for garbage disposal in daily life.
  3. Food bags: Used for packaging cooked food, take-out food, etc.
  4. Packaging bags: Used to package goods or as retail packaging bags.

How To Make T-shirt Bags?

  • Raw material selection

    The main raw material of T-shirt bags is polyethylene (PE), and the single layer film can be made from two main raw materials:

    1. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE): The material is soft, brittle-resistant and has good ductility. It is usually used for hand-shaken drink bags.
    2. High-density polyethylene (HDPE): The material is harder, durable and has better load-bearing. It is usally used in shopping bags and packaging bags.

    ABA blown film machine can also be chosen to make multi-layer plastic film. In the middle layer (B layer), you can add a higher content of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) masterbatch or recycled material. This can not only save costs, but also have easier and better sealing when it’s processed by a bags making machine.

    Nowadays, T-shirt bags can also be made from biodegradable material upon request to reduce the impact on the environment.

  • Blown film

    After the material pellets has been melt by the extruder, it passes through the die head channel and infuse the air to form a plastic bubble. The film runs along the structure of the blown film machine and gradually cools down. Finally, it’s rolled up by the winder and awaits further processing by the other machines to be made into the final products.

  • Printing

    Logos, patterns, or other information can be printed on the T-shirt bags. We will recommend the required plastic printing machine model based on the customer’s needs: such as pattern color, pattern exquisiteness (different models of printing machines can even print photo-like patterns), etc.

  • Made into T-shirt bag

    The bags making machine cuts the film roll into the pre-set bag length, then seals the bag bottom, and finally the handle-shaped cutting mold cuts off the excess part at the top of the bag, and the T-shirt bag is done.
