Pharmacy bags for
prescriptions and the counter.
Prescriptions go home folded shut in a paper bag with your pharmacy name on it. White or brown SOS bags for the dispensary, kraft carriers for retail, and compostable carriers for the switch off plastic.
At your door in about 4 weeks by air, or 6 to 11 weeks by sea.
Which bag for which job.
Privacy at the counter.
A prescription bag has one job beyond carrying: nobody else should see what is inside. An SOS bag folds shut over the top, and kraft paper is opaque.
The print can carry your name, opening hours and phone number. Leave a clear panel in the artwork and the dispensing label goes on it.
The sizes pharmacies order.
| What you hand over | The bag | Size (cm) |
|---|---|---|
| A prescription or two | SOS, counter | 14 × 27 × 8 |
| Bigger prescriptions | SOS, small | 18 × 30 × 11 |
| The retail counter | Kraft, small | 18 × 22 × 8 |
| The carrier bag | Compostable, vest S | 22 × 45 |
| Larger orders | Non-woven, small | 25 × 30 × 10 |
| Loyalty gifts | Cotton, compact | 25 × 30, flat |
Every bag is also made to your own size, at the same minimum and lead time. The full list is in the size guide.
Questions pharmacies ask.
Are the bags see-through?
The paper bags are not: white and brown kraft are opaque. The compostable carrier is milky white and translucent, so prescriptions go in a paper bag first.
Can you leave space for the dispensing label?
Yes. Leave a clear panel in the artwork and the label goes on it. The digital mockup shows where it sits before you approve.
Are the compostable carriers certified?
Yes. The film is certified to EN 13432 and carries the OK compost industrial mark. Certificates for your run come on request.
What is the minimum order?
1,000 units for kraft and cotton bags, 5,000 for SOS and non-woven bags, and 10,000 for compostable carriers.
Can one order cover several branches?
Yes. One run can be split across branches, packed and labelled per destination, with the freight quoted for each leg.
