Non-Woven Totes

Non Woven Tote Bags

Non woven tote bags are known as the eco-friendly alternative to bags made of other materials, but they have a lot of other benefits in addition to being less harmful to the environment. While designed to have the look, feel, and quality of cloth, they are often more light and less expensive than cloth bags. And unlike plastic bags, non woven tote bags are much more durable and thus able to be reused for a long period of time. When it comes to using these bags as promotional products, that translates to increased potential for exposure for your brand.

Non Woven Tote Bags – Some Insider Info

Non woven tote bags are made from a material that is directly formed from fibers that are bonded together through either a chemical, mechanical, heat or solvent treatment (as opposed to woven materials whose fibers are first converted to yarn and then woven to form cloth – hence the name, woven). Now there are different types of fibers that can be used in making non woven materials. One of the most popular is polypropylene, which is chemically made, but you can also find non woven materials made of natural fibers such as jute that comes from certain plants. There is actually evidence from around 3500-3000 BC of an ancient form of non woven fabric being constructed from different animal hairs that were pressed together that they then used for clothing and to make tents for shelter.

Endless Possibilities With Non Woven Tote Bags

With non woven tote bags you have the same breadth of product options and customization choices as you would have with other types of promotional bags. You can find them in a wide range of colors, sizes and styles from classic non woven grocery totes to non woven messenger totes with Velcro closures. Plus, most non woven tote bags are made with reinforced handles and binding for added durability. You may also note that many of the bags list a GSM number such as 85GSM or 100GSM under the material category. This refers to the weight of the non woven fabric which is measured in grams per square meter (GSM). A higher GSM value translates to a stronger, more durable bag.

Non Woven Tote Bags – Beyond the Grocery Store

Whether you use non woven tote bags as trade show bags and give them away to potential consumers at a convention or as corporate gifts to your own employees, your recipients can make great use of these items which means extended advertising for your brand. One of the most popular uses of non woven bags is to tote groceries instead of plastic or paper bags, but these items have the potential to advertise your brand outside the realms of just the grocery store aisles. They can make great everyday carry-alls with their ability to fit so many items inside. Students could use these bags to carry their books. They would also be great for carrying your workout clothes to the gym or your towel and sunscreen to the beach!
