I recently received the laundry bag that you manufactured for me in the mail. It is amazing. I often scroll through the photos of laundry bags and quilts that have been manufactured by people like you and I have to admit I did see it there. I sent a screen grab to my wife with the message, I hope this is mine, so I was ecstatic when I opened the envelope and saw it was mine!

Make the most of Christmas with Christmas packaging

Christmas is a time for giving, so make time to give your company a boost this Christmas through a huge range of Christmas packaging.

People spend more on shopping at Christmas than at any other time of the year and people in the UK spend more on Christmas shopping than any other country in Europe, with an average spend of £350 per shopper (Source: Thisismoney.co.uk, November 2014)

All of this makes the festive period the perfect time to take advantage of all of the different types of Christmas packaging on the market, so here are just a few of ideas for how you can use Christmas packaging to benefit your business this Christmas:

Personalise your carrier bags

Print your very own special edition carrier bags with a Christmas design and advertise your business while spreading the joys of Christmas this yuletide season. Printed carrier bags are the perfect way of advertising your business. You can choose your very own design - perhaps snowflakes or tinsel or a Christmas tree - along with your own branding or logo and perhaps a slogan or Christmas message.

You get to choose the design of the printed carrier bag, so you can use it to advertise your business and get some key messaging out there direct to your target market, whilst also showing your customers how much you love Christmas, which can only be a good thing, right?

Printed carrier bags are available in a range of sizes, in plain or coloured polythene and with a message printed on just one or both sides of the bag, so you can create your very own carrier bag just as you see fit.

Once your design is ready, print up enough to suit your business needs - from just a thousand to hundreds of thousands - and let your customers advertise your business this Christmas as they walk around carrying your fantastic printed carrier bag.

Personalise your mailing bags

If your business needs to send parcels or deliveries out this Christmas then you should get some printed mailing bags, personalised with your very own Christmas-style design. By doing so, your parcel or delivery will stand out from the crowd at a time when mail volume goes through the roof, helping you make a lasting impression with your customer and their family, friends or colleagues.

Just like printed carrier bags, printed mailing bags give you the scope to personalise your mailing in just the way you want. Give the polythene mailer a Christmas design - a snowman or some holly and ivy perhaps, or even some carol singers - and get your branding incorporated into the design. Use your company logo, name, advertising slogans etc to get your business message across this Christmas.

You can even print the mailing bag with helpful customer information like your Christmas opening hours, information on returns and refunds for the Christmas period or perhaps details of your upcoming new year sale.

However your Christmas mail is delivered, whether by courier or through the regular post, a bespoke printed mailing bag is the perfect way to stand out from the crowd this Christmas, to show your customers how professional you are and to spread a bit of Christmas joy while you are at it, which is ever a bad thing!

Add some Christmas sparkle to your displays

Any retailer always wants to display their products in the best way possible but even more so at Christmas, when the retail market is so competitive and any slight improvement to your display can make a big difference. That's where glossy display bags and display film comes in!

Display bags are made from high clarity polypropylene film, which gives any products places inside them a wonderful sheen and makes them sparkle. Display bags come in a range of styles, shapes and sizes to suit a variety products. Some of the more popular ones found at Christmas are greeting card bags (for Christmas cards), sweet bags (for yummy stocking fillers), clothing display bags (for that Christmas jumper) and flower sleeves (for those all-important Christmas bouquets).

Alternatively, crystal clear polypropylene film sold on the roll in a range of widths from 50cm to 70cm can provide the perfect gift wrap for any present and comes in particularly handy for wrapping flowers, bottles or other awkwardly-shaped presents.

What would you say about polythene bags?

packaging manufacturers suppliers Bags Manufacturers

Business Profile : Sheet Metal Components, Steel Fabricated Components, other engendering item and Rubber Auto Components. Plain and packaging manufacturers suppliers bags, Specially Plastic Bags, Plastic Balls, Rubber Ball, & Plastic Bat

Sowing is done in big polythene suppliers bags in June to July. Germination beginnings within a week. Growth is fast when well irrigated and seedlings attain a height of 60 cms within a year.

We went from London to United Kingdom via Los Angeles with two bikes plus camping gear. The weight allowance via the US is much better than going via the far east so avoiding excess baggage charges. At Heathrow and Los Angeles we removed pedals and turned handlebars through 90 degrees and wheeled the bikes on. I think baggage handlers favour this as it is easier for them to wheel a bike than transport a big box, it is also transparent that it is a bike and we had no damage to our bikes. From Christchurch to Brisbane we had to cover the bikes with two big polythene suppliers bags provided by Quantas. On the return trip from Brisbane to Heathrow via Auckland & Los Angeles we were told by Quantas to check in our bags (and tools) as normal and then proceed and acquire bike boxes from the big items loading area, we had to pay for these. I kept one allen key out to enable us to remove the handlebars (pedals had already been removed) nevertheless despite this the boxes were also small for our touring bike s. At this point the baggage handlers said we could put our bikes on the plane without boxes and we had to sign a waiver only in case they were damaged. We were refunded the cost of the boxes and our bikes arrived in London without any problem. I lost my allen key when I went through security -- a dangerous weapon. We were then provided with metal knives and forks with our meal and a glass wine bottle! All in all it went well, British Airways were very superb nevertheless Quantas need to have a few attached up thinking.

This year labels the tenth anniversary of the ban on non-biodegradable polythene suppliers bags in United Kingdom, a policy which has been strictly enforced, to the close perfect eradication of plastic bags.

Some countries deal with plastic by incinerating, creating toxic fumes. Choosing emblems that only use eco-friendly bags and packaging means you are no longer contributing to the plastic crisis.

Gift bags - the perfect accompaniment to gifts

Don't have time to wrap all your Christmas presents? Not very good at folding the wrapping and end up giving presents coated in a big ball of messy crumpled paper?

Gift bags are just what you - or your customers who meet the description above - are looking for and the perfect way to give presents without having to do any wrapping.

Available in a standard carrier bag shape in a range of sizes, or in a bottle bag shape, to fit a bottle of champagne, wine or spirits, gift bags are made of matt laminated paper bag with luxurious cord handles and a gift tag and are available in a range of sparkly colours.

Just place your present or bottle inside the gift bag - if you really want to impress, you can always wrap it in some coloured tissue or crepe paper first, with no need to fold or wrap - then write a nice Christmas message on the gift tag and hand it over, looking nice and shiny. Simple as that!

Recycle at Christmas

Christmas is a time where packaging is used and disposed of more quickly than at any other time of the year. Around the world, people unwrap presents and take them out of their boxes in their billions, often without a thought for where the packaging ends up.

But much of the packaging we use at Christmas can be recycled or reused, so please consider what you do with the following Christmas packaging before you throw it away:

Wrapping paper - the biggest culprit of all. Make sure you put all your wrapping paper in your paper recycling (you should separate your foil wrapping first)

Wrapping paper rolls - the cardboard tube that wrapping is wrapped around before being dispensed can be placed in the paper recycling

Gift bags - paper gift bags can also be thrown in the paper recycling, along with their gift tags (luxurious rope handles should be removed first)

Box packaging - manufacturers normally put plenty of packaging on products, including many given as gifts. This usually starts with a cardboard box, which can be recycled with the usual paper recycling

Plastic packaging - often the inner-wrapping for a gift, after the cardboard box has been set aside. This can be placed in your plastic recycling.

Christmas cards - you might leave these up for a few days after Christmas (no more than 12 mind you!) but when taken down, they can also go in the paper recycling.

Of course, all recycling depots or collection agents - e.g. councils, private waste disposal companies - have slightly different rules over what can be disposed of as recycling, so always check with your local recycling agent.
