Compostable D-Cut Bags

Product Overview

Compostable D-Cut Bags, also referred to as biodegradable plastic bags or biodegradable bags, are the branded variant of AISUNBIO's D-Cut carrier range, designed for retailers who want their logo and sustainability message carried out of the store on every bag. These custom-printed D-cut carrier bags feature branded flexographic print for promotional retail carry-out use, with full-colour logo branding support. The single-piece die-cut body keeps material costs low, while in-house flexographic printing delivers high-quality branding effects. Each bag is certified home-compostable, breaking down in a garden compost pile within 180 days, and is compliant with EU Regulation 10/2011 for food-contact safety to meet diverse retail use needs.

Core Design Features

The compostable D-cut bags adopt a single-piece die-cut handle structure, which is punched directly from the bag body without requiring separate patches or additional glue, reducing the risk of handle detachment while simplifying the production process and lowering overall material costs. The bags support full-colour flexographic branding up to 8 colours with Pantone matching, ensuring accurate reproduction of brand logos and promotional content. For heavier or bulkier retail loads, an optional reinforcement patch is available to enhance the load-bearing capacity of the bags. The base colour of the bags can be selected from white, natural or custom options, paired with branded print to align with different promotional retail campaign requirements.
