Shopping & Carrier Bag Lines
From film roll to finished T-shirt, vest and grocery bags — one integrated production chain for retail packaging.
Producing for Shopping & Carrier Bag Lines — the short answer
The classic vest carrier is thin HDPE: 0.008–0.02 mm film, blown on a monolayer line and converted on a T-shirt bag making machine that seals, punches and cuts the vest handle in cycles of 60–120 per minute, doubled on multi-lane heads.
Softer LDPE carriers for boutiques and supermarkets run thicker at 0.03–0.06 mm and usually carry 1–4 color flexo print. One film line at 80–120 kg/h feeds several bag machines at once.

What machines do I need to make T-shirt carrier bags?
Two machines: a blown film line for HDPE tubing and a T-shirt bag making machine — heat-sealing, cutting and vest-handle punching in one pass, with photo-cell registration for printed film.
How thin can carrier bag film be blown?
E-SHION HDPE-capable lines run film from 0.008 mm upward — the standard gauge for retail vest bags, where film stiffness comes from the resin, not thickness.
How many bags per day can one line support?
A dual-line bag machine at a working 200 bags/min per lane produces on the order of 150,000–200,000 bags per 10-hour shift; one 80–120 kg/h film line comfortably feeds two such machines.
Can the film be printed before bag making?
Yes — a 2–4 color flexo press sits between film blowing and bag making and prints the tubing in register; the bag machine’s photo-cell then matches each seal to the print repeat.
