Rhonda Ma, Woolworths' Bag Expert, tells 9honey: "We really wanted to bring a bit of fun to our latest bag design, celebrating what makes Australia special with classic Aussie icons and that 'if you know, you know' charm.
"These bags are designed for life beyond the supermarket – think picnics, work commutes, or a day out at the beach – as they're functional and durable for everyday use.
"And importantly, they solve a challenge for some shoppers who have a larger number of items in their basket to checkout: they click open and stay open, making packing even easier, which is a solution we know some of our customers using self-checkout and trailing Scan & Go have been asking for."
The new Click & Stay reusable bags join Woolworths' full range of reusable bags, found both in-store and online, catering to all shopper needs with options such as the everyday Green Totes, Chiller Bags, Art Bags, and the recently launched foldable 'fruit' Fabric Bags.

Woolworths expanded its roll-out of digital Scan & Go digital supermarket trolleys in July 2025 after a successful initial rollout in 2024.
Shoppers who are part of Woolworths' Everyday Rewards program can unlock a tablet-style device from a charging wall at the front of the store and attach it to their trolley to start shopping.
The device allows shoppers to scan their items as they go, and pay at a Scan & Go check out.
Scan & Go first rolled out 10 NSW stores including Kellyville, Kellyville Grove, Kellyville North, Lane Cove, North Parramatta, Oran Park, Schofields Town Centre, The Ponds, Warringah Mall and Windsor.
It was later launched at Neutral Bay Village, Richmond, Menai, Mortdale, Revesby, Hornsby, Rutherford, Kotara, Green Hills and Erina.
In Victoria, the digital supermarket trolleys will be available this month at Chirnside Park, Malvern, Mornington East, Rye, St Helena and Thrift Park.The Moonee Ponds store will receive the trolleys in September.

Eight Queensland stores will receive the trolleys this month, including Burleigh Heads, Caloundra, Capalaba Park, Currimundi, Nambour, Noosa, Northlakes and Warner.
Woolworths customers used to be able to use their Woolworths Everyday Rewards app to access Scan & Go, but that is no longer the case as of earlier this year.
Now Scan & Go is only available via the devices provided in the supermarkets.
Previously, Scan & Go customers were left to use standard reusable bags while shopping. 9Honey
"We've received feedback from some of our customers that using a mobile device to scan products whilst holding a basket and other items can be challenging," a Woolworths spokesperson told 9honey.
