Christmas ‘Bigfatbag’ now available !

September 7, 2015

‘Candy Cane’ is the first seasonal design and very first ‘SMALL’ bag to be released by The Grocery Box Co Ltd. Designed in the rich classic red, white & green that is so intrinsically linked with this most wonderful time of the year. Until now, all bags have been medium sized options as available online.

The same height and depth as the medium bag, however 9.5cm reduction in width makes it an even box shape and ideal as the perfect gift bag, present or simply use to arrive with your goodies at the Christmas party. The bag is 100 grams less than the medium option.

An additional twist to the bag is the wording, the usual logo ‘make a big fat difference’ is replaced with ‘have a big fat Christmas’ to complete the festive design. It retains the same embedded lifetime antibacterial technology that makes our range of bags so unique in the market.
