The SOS carrier bag is the most popular style of carrier bag and is used to carry food, takeaway, retail and promotional items. The term SOS is a traditional one in the bag making industry and stands for self-opening satchel.  Unlike plastic bags, once opened, SOS carriers will stand up on their own.  

Our digitally printed SOS carriers are perfect for advertising your business or an event or exhibit.  They are custom made and printed to your specifications.  The photographic or graphic design of your choice can be placed anywhere on the four sides of the bag, and digitally printed in as many colours as you choose, at no extra charge.  The bags can also feature QR codes, bar codes, or coupons to tie in with your website, a promotion, a sale or a contest.  With such small order quantities, you can feature a different bag for each season or each event.  Just let us know if you want us to help with your design(s).

Digitally printed SOS carriers are available in a choice of two materials - White Kraft and UltraBag™.  

The folded paper handle is traditionally popular for food products.

Made here in the UK from sustainably sourced paper, our SOS carrier bags are recyclable, compostable and biodegradable.
