A plastic trash bag holder is a space-saving alternative to a freestanding kitchen bin: a frame that hangs over a cabinet door or cupboard edge and holds the mouth of a standard bin liner open at counter height. Buyers sourcing these frames for homeware and retail channels need a supplier who understands door thickness variation, liner sizes and the load a full bag of wet scraps puts on the hook. This guide covers the specifications that matter.
Bag and Door Fit for a Plastic Trash Bag Holder
Almost every field complaint traces back to fit. The frame opening must match common liner sizes, and the over-door hook must clamp the range of doors actually installed in the target market.
- Bag fit: frames sized for 20-60 L liners; opening widths of 22-28 cm cover the mainstream kitchen bag range.
- Door fit: hooks accepting door thicknesses of 16-28 mm (0.6-1.1 in) fit most cupboard doors; a protective TPR or TPE pad prevents scratches.
- Load rating: 5-8 kg for standard frames; lightweight decorative models may be rated near 4.5 kg (10 lb).
- Folded depth: 35-45 mm when folded against the door, so the frame does not foul adjacent cabinets.
Materials and Construction
Virgin PP or ABS frames keep cost predictable; TPR or TPE pads add grip and scratch protection; stainless steel hinge pins hold up under repeated folding. A foldable frame uses a two-point snap lock or spring detent so it stays open under load and folds flat for storage. Rounded corners, burr-free edges and a smooth mould finish matter for a product handled daily.
Tooling, MOQ and Lead Times
Tools are P20 or 718H steel, typically 2-4 cavities, with 15-25 days for tooling and 25-40 days for production runs. MOQ runs 500-3,000 pieces per SKU. Unit prices start around US$0.85 for basic over-door frames and rise for foldable, under sink or lid-equipped models. Confirm whether lids, adhesive pads and retail packaging are included, and request a drop test plus a 24-hour loaded hang test on first samples.
