Extra sturdy & compostable bags

Switching to compostable die-cut handle bags means you get a bag that’s not only tough but also kind to the planet. These bags handle up to 5 lbs., resist rips and tears and keep your products safe from moisture – perfect for everything from retail goods to coffee shop treats. Made to be sturdy, these bags are a major step up from alternative plastic options, giving businesses an eco-conscious edge without compromising on durability.

Compostable & reusable for minimal impact

Crafted from 2 mil thick compostable material, these bags can be reused multiple times, giving your brand more exposure with every use. Even better, they break down completely in both landfills and home compost, so you can feel good about their end-of-life impact. With official compostable certifications (including TÜV Austria’s OK compost HOME certification), these bags show customers you’re serious about sustainability and they offer a smart, earth-friendly alternative to regular die-cut handle bags.

Customizable to suit your style

Super happy with my purchase. I have promo items I can be happy about handing out.

Certification Stamps Ruin a Good Product

I really enjoy the original order I got Spring of 2025, before they placed two 2 inch stamps in the bottom corner. Not only are they an eyesore, but they aren't applicable to much of the world (my customers don't care about TUV Austria's OK). I will not be ordering these again while these stamps are baked into the template. Interestingly enough the price is the same even though the effective print area is smaller.

Great but one thing

I don’t love the huge “compostable” label. Needs to be at least half the size and not lime green
