About this dieline
A die-cut handle bag (also called a punched handle or banana bag) has a handle cut straight through the top of the bag — a soft, kidney-shaped slot you hold with your fingers. It is the classic bag for shops, trade shows and giveaways.
Enter the width, height and an optional bottom gusset and download a print-ready PDF. The handle slot is placed for you near the top edge. You can set a printable area and choose a different design for the front and the back.
Can I change the handle size?
The handle slot is a fixed, standard size, so it always fits a hand. The bag around it scales freely.
What does the bottom gusset do?
It gives the bag a flat base so it holds boxes and bulkier items. Set it to 0 for a flat bag.
