Westflex Ltd is pleased to present the TAGBAG range of header bags which are the ideal solution for presenting products on a hanging display. Made entirely from polypropylene, the reinforced header makes them perfect for small, light and/or flat products. The TAGBAG header bag can be manufactured from OPP film 30-40my, Cast PP film 40-120my, or OPP/CastPP laminated with sandwich printing between the two layers of film in order to prevent ink from coming into contact with the product. The header itself can be standard white opaque or fully transparent, and is produced in OPP film 80-135my. A full length inlay or thicker quality film can be used if specially requested. We also supply TAGBAGS with or without a lip and a resealable or permanent self-seal strip. They may also be gusset bottomed and come complete with a punch for Euroholes or ventilation holes. TAGBAGs can be printed in up to 8 colours (flexo or gravure) with a thermal transfer print of logos, EAN-codes etc. To find out more about our header bags, please visit the Westflex website.

Eurohole (or Euroslot) bags are one of the most common types of packaging solution that you will see in a retail store.

We'll go beyond the call of duty to find a solution for your packaging problems, and if we don ' ’t already have a suitable bag in production, we’ll work with you to produce a brand new one.

Gusseted Poly bags are ideal for where you require more fill space when the bag is opened. Gusset Bags have sides that expand, allowing you to fill them with larger items. This makes them perfect for displaying products that are made up of more than one piece. To find out about the sizes that we offer, please contact Westflex directly.

Made from either transparent biaxial orientated polypropylene film (OPP) or non-orientated polypropylene film (CastPP), our poly bags are the ultra-versatile range. OPP is chosen for its transparency and glossy finish, making it suitable for light and flat products such as gifts, greeting cards, stationery and confectionary. OPP film comes in thicknesses of 25, 30 and 40 micron. CastPP film, with a thickness of between 30 and 120 micron, is stronger and therefore typically used for heavier products. Both kinds of PP bags may be produced in different versions and in a variety of sizes. PP bags can be printed in up to 8 colours with a thermal transfer print for displaying EAN-codes or logos, and come provided with a punch for Euroholes or ventilation holes.
