How it's used
Retailers in Hong Kong often use this term when asking if you need a bag for your purchase. It is distinct from plastic bags, which are commonly referred to as 膠袋. Using this term clearly specifies the material, which is helpful given the local environmental levy on plastic shopping bags.
