Buying poly bags and cartons in Bangladesh

Poly bags and cartons carry a garment from factory to shop: a polyethylene or polypropylene bag around each piece or pack, and a corrugated carton around the bags. Garment exporters in Bangladesh buy both for every export order, to the brand's packing instructions; local brands and other makers buy cartons for their own goods.

Cartons are among the last items packed, so they are bought in step with shipment dates, and corrugated board weakens when it takes up moisture. A poly bag and carton supplier in Bangladesh must meet the packing instructions, so Roptan sources from verified makers, checks samples and strength reports, and times delivery to your packing date.

Kinds of poly bag and carton

Flat poly bags

The usual garment bag: LDPE or LLDPE film sealed at the bottom and open at the top, closed by flap, heat seal or tie, sometimes with air holes. Choose it for folded garments.

Hanger bags

Dry-cleaner style bags, closed at one end and open at the other with a hanger hole, with or without gussets. Choose them for garments shipped on hangers.

BOPP bags

Biaxially oriented polypropylene: film stretched in both directions, clear and glossy, and it takes print well. Choose them when the bag must show the garment and carry print.

Single-wall cartons

Three-ply board, one fluting between two liners. C flute is the usual flute in corrugated boxes. Choose it for light and medium loads.

Double- and triple-wall cartons

Five-ply board has two flutings and three liners, seven-ply three flutings and four liners. Choose them when heavier cartons or higher stacks need more strength.

What to tell a poly bag and carton supplier in Bangladesh

Bag size, film and flap
Length and width, resin (LDPE, LLDPE or PP), thickness in mil or micrometres, a single-layer flap on the double-layer body, the closure and any air holes.
Print and warning
Logo, text and any suffocation warning, with wording, language and position taken from the buyer's artwork.
Carton size and board
Inside length, width and height, ply, flute, liner grades and paper weights in gsm, with print and shipping marks.
Flute
Letters follow the order of invention, not size: A is about 4.8 mm thick, C 4.0 mm, B 3.2 mm, E 1.6 mm and F 0.8 mm; fine E and F flutes print more smoothly.
Strength and conditions
The strength test the buyer names, the full carton weight, the stacking height and the humidity at which strength must hold.

Carton tests and packaging rules

ISO 3037:2022 and TAPPI T 811
Edge crush of corrugated board on a short column, reported in kN/m or lb/inch; it predicts box compression. ISO 13821:2020 covers waxed edges.
ASTM D642
Compressive resistance of whole shipping containers, reported in kgf or N. Ask which test the protocol names and at what humidity it ran.
Environment Conservation Act 1995, section 6A
It lets the government ban or regulate polythene and polypropylene items by gazette notification; its proviso exempts items exported or used in export. Before ordering bags for goods sold inside Bangladesh, confirm the current notification.
Regulation (EU) 2025/40
The EU packaging and packaging waste regulation, applying since 12 August 2026. Ask EU buyers for their packaging instructions under it before bags and cartons are made.

What moves the price of poly bags and cartons

  • Bag size and thickness: they set the film weight per bag, and film is priced by weight.
  • Flap and print: a longer flap adds film, and each printed colour adds cost.
  • Carton size and ply: board area per carton times the board rate for the ply sets the base.
  • Imported raw materials: makers buy polymer and kraft paper at world prices, so rises lift their cost.

Lead times and delivery

Bags and cartons are timed to your packing date, so Roptan plans each order back from your in-house date. Plain bags are quicker; printed bags and cartons, a new carton size, board supply and artwork approval add time. Roptan confirms the dates and the minimum in the quote.

Cartons arrive flat in counted bundles and bags in counted packs, marked by order and timed to your packing schedule, with the packing list, any strength reports and a VAT invoice (Mushak 6.3). Packing for export orders is commonly paid by back-to-back LC opened against the garment order.

Buying poly bags and cartons for export

Polyethylene bags fall under HS 3923.21 and corrugated cartons under 4819.10. Poly bags are also exported directly to buyers abroad, not only supplied to factories here; Roptan quotes them FOB Chattogram (Chittagong). Export cartons and bags usually travel with the garments, made to the buyer's packing instructions.

What we check for this order

  • Bag sampleSize, thickness, flap and print checked against the approved sample, with the warning wording from the buyer's artwork.
  • Carton specificationInside size, ply, flute and print checked against the signed specification before bulk.
  • Strength reportBursting, edge crush or compression results read against the buyer's protocol, with the conditioning humidity stated.
  • Counts and timingCounts per bundle checked under an AQL plan, and delivery set close to the packing date so cartons do not sit in humid storage.

Questions buyers ask

Which carton ply do I need for garments?

Single wall, 3 ply, suits light and medium loads; heavier cartons need a higher edge crush or burst rating, or double wall, 5 ply, or triple wall, 7 ply. Send the carton weight, stacking height and route, and ask for strength after humid conditioning.

How thick should a garment poly bag be?

Flat garment bags are usually about 1.0 to 1.5 mil, roughly 25 to 38 micrometres; a mil is a thousandth of an inch. Film is priced by weight, so state the thickness your buyer's packing manual asks for and approve a sample bag on the folded garment.

Do poly bags need a suffocation warning?

Often. Thin, clingy plastic bags can suffocate small children, and in the US this led to voluntary warning labels on some bags. The buyer or retailer sets the wording, language and position. Send the artwork and we check the printed warning on the approved sample and on bulk.

Why does carton strength fall in humid weather?

Corrugated board takes up moisture from the air. It usually holds about 6.5 to 9.5% moisture; above that its compression strength falls, and below it the board cracks. Store cartons dry, have them delivered close to packing, and ask for strength results after humid conditioning.

How soon will I hear back about garment accessories?

Within 48 hours of a complete requirement, with a price and a delivery date. A requirement is complete when it has the quantity, where it is needed and by when.
