Plastic bags designed like T-shirts have many uses beyond carrying groceries. These bags are versatile and can be used to transport nearly anything.

The origin of the T-shirt bag dates back to the mid-1960s, when a Swedish company called Celloplast came up with the idea to seal the bottom of a plastic tube and punch out the other end to form handles. The idea was patented in the US, and by the early 1980s, plastic T-shirt bags had become a common sight in most American grocery stores. These bags are not only durable, but also visually appealing compared to other types of plastic bags.
