For greener alternatives you can have your bags made from jute, cotton, canvas or juco (a mix of jute and cotton) material. Jute is an extremely versatile fibre known for its strength and durability. It's natural beige colour can be dyed to virtually any shade. Cotton as a material is also extremely versatile and ideal for making many types of bags. A newer material is juco. As the name suggests, juco is simply a mixture of jute & cotton, and therefore offers the all the advantages of both materials with a much more luxurious feel.

Jute is a natural golden fibre, obtained as an extract from the bark of the jute plant. It is biodegradable which means it mixes with the soil and breaks down, restoring nutrients to the soil. On combustion, its fumes are non-toxic and produce no residue. Cotton is a soft natural fibre obtained from the seed pod of the cotton plant.

Jute and cotton bags are natural, reusable and biodegradable. These bags are designed to be used again and again. They help promote waste minimization and encourage environmental awareness. They are a positive choice for retailers and consumers alike carrying a positive environmental message about your brand. Bags can be designed to your specification, dyed in any colour, printed with your logo and with different handle options.

The ‘bag for life’ is very popular with the supermarket chains. Made from either woven poly propelene (PP) or non woven PP. This alternative is cheaper than jute and carries the same message of being eco-friendly.

Non woven PP Bags give the advantage of strength whilst being lightweight, which makes them the ideal packaging solution for many different products. Woven PP Bags are ideal for long-term use, being very strong and easy to wipe clean.
