Probably one of the hottest bag styles now is the non-woven poly material, used mostly in the very popular grocery style totes. Here is a little more information about this bag style:
- What is Polypropylene? It is a form of plastic, produced in large sheets. It has picked up the label “non-woven” because the material has been debossed to give it the appearance of woven cloth.
- What is GSM? This is the measurement (Grams per Square Meter) that measures the weight and density of the polypropylene material. Standard GSM for industry bags range for 70 – 100 GSM. This range means there is a noticeable quality difference (generally based on price) of totes made using the non-woven material. It is important to note that when comparing like products with a wide price variance you should look first for the GSM to make sure that the products in consideration are of similar quality.
- Are they eco-friendly? A large part of the appeal to this non-woven material is that it contains a percent of recycled content. Most non-woven bags are reusable so they help eliminate the use of other plastic bags.
Bags are HOT! They are also arguably the fastest growing product category in the industry today. They offer excellent utility to your ad recipient and incredible value for your ad dollars.
