Non Woven Bags

The non-woven bag category has expanded far beyond the basic supermarket tote. The material is highly adaptable, allowing manufacturers to create bags for almost any promotional requirement. You can find non-woven cooler bags for outdoor events, drawstring pouches for sports teams, and flap-over satchels for corporate conferences. There are even specialised garment bags for suit retailers and laundry bags for hospitality providers. This variety means that businesses can match the bag style precisely to their target audience.

The core material is 80gsm non-woven polypropylene. This fabric is created by spinning and bonding plastic fibres together using heat and pressure, rather than weaving them on a loom. The result is a lightweight, breathable, and surprisingly strong material. It holds its shape well and provides a smooth, consistent surface that accepts ink cleanly. The manufacturing process also keeps the unit cost incredibly low, making these bags accessible for large-scale marketing campaigns.

Construction variations give different bags their distinct characteristics. A bag with a bottom gusset expands to sit flat on a surface, making it easier to pack. A bag with no gusset sits flat against the body when carried. Laminated versions add a glossy or matte film over the polypropylene, increasing durability and water resistance while giving the bag a more rigid structure.

These bags can be personalised with your logo.

The applications are broad and varied. Real estate agencies hand over property documents in branded A4 bags. Gyms provide drawstring bags to new members upon sign-up. Charities sell custom non-woven bags as fundraising merchandise. Because the bags serve a genuine purpose, the recipient keeps them, ensuring the printed logo continues to generate impressions long after the initial handover. They also appear at trade shows, where attendees rely on them to carry heavy catalogues. This high level of utility ensures the bags remain in circulation for extended periods.

Helpful Answers

Why are custom non woven bags so popular for promotions?
They offer an unbeatable ratio of cost to brand exposure. The bags are inexpensive to produce in bulk, but because they are reusable, the printed logo is seen by hundreds of people over the bag's lifespan.

What is the difference between a tote and a satchel?
A tote is an open-top bag with two handles, carried by hand or over the shoulder. A satchel features a fold-over flap and a single long strap, designed to be worn across the body like a messenger bag.

How much weight can logo printed polypropylene bags hold?
While lightweight, 80gsm non-woven polypropylene is very strong. A regular non-woven grocery tote can comfortably carry several kilograms of heavy items like canned goods or thick catalogues. This makes them highly suitable for carrying heavy books and thick folders at university open days or large industry exhibitions. This strength allows them to replace more expensive cotton bags while maintaining a similar level of utility for the end user. The handles are securely stitched into the main body of the bag to ensure they do not break when carrying these heavier items.

What branding methods are available for these bags?
These bags can be decorated using screen print or full colour digital transfers, depending on the complexity of your artwork.
