Punched Handle L.D Carrieres
Ivory Varigauge Punched-Handle LD Carrier Bags (22 x 18 x 3)
These ivory varigauge carriers are lightweight, practical plastic carrier bags designed for fast-paced retail and takeaway environments where you need a dependable bag that’s easy to pack, comfortable to carry, and consistent in presentation. Made from LD polythene and finished with a punched-out handle, they offer a clean, professional look that suits a wide range of businesses—from independent shops to busy counters handling high volumes.
The “varigauge” construction is designed to add extra strength where it matters most: around the handle area. This helps the bag perform better during lifting and carrying, especially when customers are holding the bag by the handle for longer periods. The ivory colour provides a neutral, understated appearance that works well across many sectors and can complement most branding styles.
Key Features
Varigauge strength where you need it
Varigauge carrier bags are produced with thicker film near the handle area to improve durability and reduce the risk of stretching or tearing during carrying. This makes them a popular choice for retailers who want a lightweight bag with added confidence at the point of lift.
Punched handle for quick, comfortable carrying
The punched-out handle design is simple and familiar for customers. It’s easy to grab, easy to carry, and helps speed up packing at the till or counter.
LD polythene (lightweight and flexible)
LD polythene is widely used for carrier bags because it’s flexible, easy to open, and convenient for packing a variety of items. It also folds down neatly for compact storage behind the counter.
Neutral ivory finish
Ivory offers a clean, versatile look that suits many retail settings. It’s a practical choice when you want a consistent, professional appearance without a bold colour.
Retail-friendly size format
This carrier format is commonly used for general retail purchases and takeaway items. The gusseted design helps provide extra capacity and makes packing easier.

22x18x3 - Ivory Varigauge Carriers — Full Product Guide
Choosing the right carrier bag is about balancing presentation, speed of service, and day-to-day reliability. These ivory varigauge punched-handle LD carriers are designed to support efficient packing while offering extra reinforcement around the handle area—ideal for busy environments where customers expect a bag that feels secure in hand.
How It Works
This style of carrier is designed for quick dispensing and packing. The bag opens easily, items can be placed inside with minimal effort, and the punched handle provides a straightforward carry solution. The varigauge design focuses material where the bag experiences the most stress—around the handle—helping improve performance during lifting and carrying.
Materials and Construction
Material: LD polythene (low-density polythene). LD film is valued for its flexibility and ease of use at the counter.
Construction: Varigauge film distribution with a punched-out handle. Varigauge carriers are commonly described as having thicker film near the handle area for extra strength, supporting better durability during carrying.
Colour: Ivory, offering a neutral and professional appearance.
Floor Type Compatibility
Carrier bags are typically stored and dispensed from counters, shelves, or under-counter dispensers rather than used directly on floors. For best results in retail environments, keep packs in a clean, dry storage area and position them close to the packing point to reduce handling time.
Health and Safety
- Keep plastic bags away from babies and young children to avoid suffocation risk.
- Store away from heat sources and open flames.
- Use appropriate handling practices in food-service settings (e.g., avoid placing bags directly on food-prep surfaces if not intended for that purpose).
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
General retail: Suitable for everyday purchases where customers want a simple, reliable carry bag.
Takeaway and counter service: Useful for packing boxed, wrapped, or bagged items quickly at busy times.
Pharmacy and personal care: A discreet, neutral colour that suits health-related retail environments.
Events and markets: Easy to transport, store, and dispense—helpful for temporary retail setups.
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
- Store in a cool, dry place to help maintain film condition.
- Keep packs sealed until needed to reduce dust and contamination in storage.
- Avoid compressing packs under heavy loads to prevent creasing and handle deformation.
Case Study
A busy convenience retailer needs a carrier that can be packed quickly during peak periods while still feeling secure when customers carry heavier mixed baskets. Switching to a varigauge punched-handle carrier helps improve confidence at the handle area—reducing the likelihood of stretching during carry—while keeping the familiar, fast-to-use punched-handle format at the till.
Who is it for?
