Reinforced Handle Bags
Heavy-duty RI (Reinforced Insert) handle bags for premium retail, farm supply, and corporate carry applications.
Premium Carry Bags with Reinforced Handles
Reinforced Insert (RI) handle bags feature a folded cardboard insert inside the handle area, providing significantly greater load-bearing capacity than standard die-cut handles. Friesen Plastics produces RI handle bags for farm and ranch supply retailers, corporate clients, and premium retail operations across Western Canada that need a stronger, more substantial carry bag.
The RI handle format is ideal for businesses where customers carry heavy or bulky items, farm supply merchandise, hardware, corporate event materials, and premium retail purchases. The reinforced handle provides a comfortable, secure grip that prevents the handle tearing that can occur with standard die-cut bags under heavy loads.
