Reusable bag programmes for supermarkets: what to specify
A supermarket bag programme is not a one-off order. The bag is sold at the till or given as a loyalty reward, it is re-ordered again and again, and every batch must look the same. The specification you write at the start decides how smoothly that goes.

Size and gusset
Supermarket bags carry weight, so the specification starts with a gusset that lets the bag stand at the till. Example sizes:
| Use | Size W × H × G (cm) | Inches | Code |
|---|---|---|---|
| Everyday shopping | 38 × 35 × 10 | 15.0 × 13.8 × 3.9 in | TX-SHOP-38x35x10 |
| Supermarket and grocery | 42 × 38 × 12 | 16.5 × 15.0 × 4.7 in | TX-SHOP-42x38x12 |
| Grocery (US style) | 40 × 35 × 15 | 15.7 × 13.8 × 5.9 in | TX-SHOP-40x35x15 |
| Heavy grocery | 45 × 40 × 15 | 17.7 × 15.7 × 5.9 in | TX-SHOP-45x40x15 |
Handles and stitching
Choose cotton web, rope or self-fabric handles, with a reinforced stitch at every handle joint so the bag survives a full grocery load. The strength is checked on the sample.
Fabric
- Natural jute: strong and classic. Inside lamination makes it water resistant and easier to wipe clean.
- Cotton and canvas: washable and the cleanest print surface.
- Juco: jute strength with a smoother print surface.
Print and labelling
Store branding is usually screen printed in one or two colours. Digital print suits seasonal artwork. A woven label or hang tag can carry the store's message or barcode.
Packing and documents
Bags are bundled and carton-packed to your distribution specification, with export-ready carton marks and documentation.
Re-orders that match
Your approved sample becomes the benchmark, and the same specification is repeated on every re-order. Keep the reference code and the approved sample together so every new batch is checked against it.

Questions buyers ask us
What is the minimum order for supermarket bags?
Minimum order is flexible. It depends on bag size, fabric and colour, and is confirmed with each quotation.
Can the bag stand up at the till?
Yes. A bottom gusset lets the bag stand open.
Will re-orders look the same?
The approved sample is kept as the benchmark, and the same specification is repeated on every re-order.
