Punched Handle L.D Carrieres
Clear Varigauge Punched Handle Carrier Bags (LDPE) — Product Overview
These clear varigauge carrier bags are lightweight, strong and designed for everyday retail carry-out. Made from LDPE (low-density polythene) and finished with a punched (die-cut) handle, they provide a comfortable grip and a clean, professional presentation for a wide range of goods. The “varigauge” construction means the film is reinforced in the handle area to help improve strength where the bag experiences the most stress during carrying.
Because this is a configurable product listing, options may vary by pack quantity and specification. Please refer to the variant/option selector on this page for the exact pack size and pricing available for your chosen option.

Clear Varigauge Carriers — Full Product Guide
Clear varigauge carriers are a popular choice when you want a simple, cost-effective carrier bag that still offers dependable performance at the point of sale. The combination of LDPE flexibility and varigauge reinforcement helps the bag cope with the repeated lifting and carrying that happens in real retail settings.
How It Works
Varigauge carrier bags are produced so that the film thickness is not uniform across the entire bag. Instead, the material is strengthened around the handle area—where the load is concentrated—while the rest of the bag remains lighter and flexible. This approach helps improve carrying performance without making the whole bag unnecessarily heavy.
The punched handle (also called a die-cut handle) is integrated into the bag itself. This makes it quick to pack and easy for customers to carry, while keeping the overall bag profile neat and compact.
Materials and Construction
Material: LDPE (low-density polythene). LDPE is valued for its flexibility, toughness and resistance to tearing compared with more brittle films.
Finish: Clear film for a clean look and easy visibility of contents.
Handle: Punched/die-cut handle with varigauge reinforcement around the grip area to support heavier or awkward loads.

Floor Type Compatibility
These carrier bags are designed for retail packing and carry-out rather than floor installation, so “floor compatibility” is not applicable. However, they are compatible with typical retail workflows and packing stations, including counters where bags are stored flat and dispensed quickly.
Health and Safety
- Keep polythene bags away from babies and young children to avoid suffocation risk.
- Do not overload beyond what is reasonable for the bag type; distribute weight evenly to reduce stress on the handle area.
- For food-related use, ensure the chosen option is suitable for your intended application and handling process.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
Everyday retail carry-out:
Ideal for general purchases where customers need a quick, reliable bag at checkout.
Visibility and security:
Clear film can support quick checks of contents and helps staff and customers identify items at a glance.
Mixed item packing:
Suitable for a combination of boxed, wrapped or bagged items, helping reduce the need for multiple bag types.
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
- Store in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight and heat sources to help maintain film performance.
- Keep packs sealed until use to reduce dust contamination in busy stockrooms.
- Rotate stock (first in, first out) for best consistency.
Case Study (Typical Scenario)
A busy convenience retailer needs a clear carrier that can handle frequent, fast-paced packing—often with mixed baskets that include boxed items and heavier products. By choosing a varigauge punched-handle carrier, the store benefits from reinforcement where the bag is most likely to fail (around the handle), while keeping the overall bag lightweight and easy to dispense at the till. The clear finish also helps staff confirm items quickly during packing and reduces confusion for customers on the way out.
