Rag Bags

HDPE bags for bulk rag collection and transport

Repurposed woolpacks are a common solution for rag collection — but they come with problems. Variable condition, residual contamination, inconsistent sizing, and seam failures under compression are all common issues when the pack wasn't designed for the job. For commercial laundries, workshops, and textile operations, that variability adds up.

Ritex HDPE Rag Bags are built specifically for bulk textile collection, sorting, and transport. Made from High-Density Polyethylene, each bag weighs 1.1kg — lighter than a standard 1.4kg woolpack — but carries compressed rag loads without tearing. Construction is consistent: 70 × 70cm base, 98cm side seam, 46cm flap. Every bag is new, flat-packed, and ready to fill.

Suitable for cleaning rags, textile offcuts, workshop wipes, and clothing export. Available in bulk with custom sizing options for operations with specific requirements.

Why Choose Ritex Rag Bags?

  • At 1.1kg, these bags are lighter than a standard 1.4kg woolpack. The weight saving matters when you're handling volume — less bag weight means more usable capacity per lift. HDPE construction means the reduction in weight doesn't compromise tear resistance or seam strength under loa

  • Used woolpacks introduce variability — worn seams, residual grease, uneven condition. Ritex Rag Bags are new every time. Consistent construction, clean interior, no contamination risk. For laundries and food-adjacent operations, that traceability matters.

  • A fixed base (70 × 70cm), side seam (98cm), and flap (46cm) means every bag stacks the same way, stores the same way, and moves the same way. No sorting by size. No compensating for bag variation on the floor or the truck.

  • Bags arrive flat-packed, taking up minimal storage space until needed. Practical for operations that hold stock on-site and fill bags on demand — no bulky pre-filled storage, no wasted space between uses.

  • Cleaning rags, textile offcuts, workshop wipes, clothing for export — these bags handle bulk textile collection across commercial laundries, manufacturing facilities, workshops, and industrial cleaning operations. One bag format, multiple applications.
