Polyethylene Gift Bags

The History of Polyethylene Bags

The patents relevant to the production of polyethylene bags date back to the early 1950s. The modern polyethylene bag, which we all know and use today, was invented in the early 1960s by Sten Gustaf Thulin, a Swedish engineer.

He developed a method to create polyethylene bags for the Swedish packaging company Celloplast. The same company introduced these bags to the world in 1965.

Before long, other companies realized the potential of polyethylene bags. Eventually, Celloplast’s patent in the U.S. was overturned by leading petrochemical company Mobil in 1977.

Since the mid-1980s, the use of polyethylene bags has become widespread in everyday life and for gift wrapping, not only in the U.S. but also in countries worldwide.

Why Choose Polyethylene Bags for Gift Wrapping

Polyethylene gift bags may not be the best option from an ecological standpoint, but they are cheaper than other gift wrapping options while being just as colorful and diverse.

Polyethylene gift bags are available in a variety of colors and designs. Not only are they more durable and tear-resistant than paper bags, but they’re also a budget-friendly choice that can be reused repeatedly.

Though polyethylene bags are less eco-friendly, they have a lower environmental impact in terms of energy consumption during production and transportation compared to paper bags. Many manufacturers have made significant efforts in recent years to recycle and raise awareness of the advantages of polyethylene bags, with most containing recycled materials and being recyclable. As an alternative to paper bags, polyethylene bags are made from either low-density or high-density polyethylene.

To make your gift stand out, choosing the perfect gift bags, gift boxes, and cards is essential. These details give your gift a polished look and show care and attention.
