Minimum quantities on bespoke bags is established by the bag required, we need a certain amount of weight to manufacture bespoke bags to your specifications, so it all depends on the bag size and thickness (& if coloured or printed) that you want.

Obviously, we turn this weight into numbers of bags and price per 1,000 – so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Stock bags are sold per pack and can be in packs as small as 50 bags for large sacks or in 1,000s on small bags and anything in between.

Not exactly, if you are looking to source a large amount of polythene (either in film or bags form) we can generally get a very close match to the colour you want. NB: The colouring of polythene is nothing like printing, we have to use an additive (masterbatch) to change the polythene to the required colour.

We do however stock quite a large range of “standard” colours (masterbatches) like Mid Reds, Yellow, Blue, Green, Silver, Gold, Brown – list is quite long, and these cover most of the requirements of our clients.
