Think all reusable bags are the same? Think again.
While they all reduce the waste of single-use plastic carrier bags which, in turn, helps the environment, each comes with its own pros and cons. Which is why it helps if you know a little bit about the different types of reusable shopping bags available and how they can benefit your business.
Reusable Bag Types
As one of the UK’s leading bag suppliers, you’ll be hard-pushed to find a greater selection than ours at Crazy Bags. We provide a comprehensive range of reusable bags and – whether it be a one-off order or multiple branded products – we are confident that we can help.
Here we look at just a few types of reusable bags you can use over and over:
- Non-woven bags
Non-woven fabric is made through a chemical or heat process instead of knitting or weaving – making it somewhat more affordable.
Since they are so budget-friendly, non-woven bags can be distributed with every purchase or filled with branded promotional items and handed out as goodie bags at events. They also make fantastic reusable grocery bags – allowing customers to carry their shopping without worrying about plastic bags snapping before they’ve even left the supermarket! And above all, they fold up into a smaller size so are easy to store either in the cupboard at home or the boot of the car.
To summarise, non-woven reusable bags are:
- Competitively priced
- 100% recyclable
- Strong yet lightweight
- Biodegradable
- Cotton bags
Both soft and durable, cotton is a popular reusable shopping bag material – and one of the few types that can be washed.
Customers love the fact that they can throw their cotton shopping bags in the washing machine when they’re starting to look a little grubby. And you can relax knowing that a simple mishap or spillage won’t ruin your branding.
Reusable bags like these don’t just look great and will likely outlast other options, such as non-woven bags. They are a great way for companies to get their brand out there – attracting more customers.
Reasons to choose cotton reusable bags include:
- Efficient
- Convenient
- Easy to clean
- Eco-friendly
- Jute bags
Jute is a type of natural plant fibre that can make strong threads. It has natural renewable resources and is compostable which means, after a long useful lifetime, it can be disposed of with no negative impact on the environment.
Promotional jute bags offer a more natural look than other reusable grocery bags. Excellent for promoting food stores, farm shops, yoga studios and other resorts.
Here are just a few of their benefits:
- Relatively low cost
- Environmentally-friendly
- Durable
- Easy to blend with other fabrics
- Canvas bags
The ideal canvas for your logo. Canvas bags are one of the best types of reusable bags to carry a message to your loyal customers and prospective clients.
Canvas shopping bags have an exceptional strength to weight ratio and work well for various businesses and brands – even at promotional events – and it’s no surprise given that they’re:
- Washable
- Durable
- Affordable
- Environmentally-friendly
