  1. 0:00Choosing checkout bags? Start with what each bag is for.
  2. 0:05At the till, the kraft bag is a working tool, used many times a minute; the laminated bag is a presentation piece. Mix them up and budgets go wrong.
  3. 0:17Start from the heaviest realistic basket. Weight isn't strength: ask every supplier for the same measured burst, tear and water-absorption values, and write wet-bottom performance as its own requirement.
  4. 0:29Match the handle to the lane: no handle, flat paper or twisted cord. The weak point is the attachment, not the handle material.
  5. 0:41Test like the lane: load, lift, swing, set down wet, lift again. Re-test after any change of paper, glue or line settings. Then keep two specs: kraft for volume, laminated for gifts.
  6. 0:55Planning a gift line? Send size, quantity, finish and artwork.
