Non-Woven Bags printed. Initial print run (MOQ) of 1,000 pieces.

PP Non-Woven bags or cotton bags.
What should I take or print?

Among the various textiles cotton has definitely benefited the notoriety and is often mentioned as the first.

Cotton is a renewable resource. This makes it sympathetic. The prejudice to be environmentally friendly adheres to it.

Non-Woven we know though, often have to do with it. But we do not know much about Non-Woven.

Not rarely we have this fabric lying in our hands. Or the Non-Woven fabric is on our skin. In general, we have no use name ready for this fabric: Non-Woven. The Non-Woven fabric made of PP, PE or PET (for example, from used PET bottles). We do not bring in connection with this textile.

During our customer consultation, after all price comparisons with bagobag team the cheaper Non-Woven bags are quite often ordered in the end or - if you are in a hurry - paper bags with printing. Printed bags in Non-Woven textiles have a reliable price advantage over printed cotton bags. The decisive factor is not the sewing or the country of origin of the bags or lack of fairness in production terms, but the world market price of the material.

Sewing, printing, and forwarding tariffs go under standards. Their costs are the same for both types of bag in principle and thus negligible for this comparison.

Quality of Non-Woven bags. Tensile strength, durability.
What should I know?

On the quality of the bag Non-Woven bags, the material thickness has immense influence. If you select the material too thin for price reasons, it seems cheap and rips out under rigorous conditions.

Bags made of thin fabric are never durable. Bags with a thickness of less than 80 grams per square meter disappoint quickly. The lasting impression of promotional products is then calculated disappointment rather than the feeling of having been blessed. For the promotional products buyers therefore offers bagobag bags Non-Woven fabric on the first place from a grammage of 80 g/m².

What strength or which grammage should I order for my purpose?

For the fair bags, promotional bags, gym bags, Non-Woven drawstring pouch bags, the giveaways in large quantities, you are welcome to use material with 80 g/m². Unless you want to extremely prolong the use of the bag. If you want to be exclusive in the promotion or classy and want to be clearly distinguished from the competitor - then order the strength of 100 g/m².

For souvenir bags or promotional bags for city marketing and tourism we recommend a material with thickness of at least 100 g/m² or more, particularly if you opt for an uncoated Non-Woven bag.

Accountant’s bags and briefcase bags made in Non-Woven Accountant’s bags and briefcase bags made in Non-Woven for the round-trip transportation of file folders should be made for a lasting good impression of material with 120 g/m² or 150 g/m². We like to build you a bottom plate as well as a solid base reinforcement in the bags. To install reinforcement in the edge of the turnover bag is always a tight range in the opening form.

Shopping bags and tote bags in Non-Woven require a higher stability through material thickness. Opt for a grammage of 120 g/m² or 150 g/m².

Non-Woven bags with zipper, for example: cosmetic bags, sports bags, ball bags, you should not conceive of lesser thickness than 100 g/m².

My Bag: natural fiber or synthetic fiber?
What is better for me?

Food, medicine, cosmetics - Non-Woven synthetic fibers are fat,water-resistant and hygienic.

Cotton and pollutants. Most cotton is produced in conventional agriculture. Although the conventional cotton bag has quietly the image of being environmentally friendly, the cotton is in fact not - if the cotton is not expressly derived from organic production.

On closer inspection, however, a third-world problem is both in agriculture and in the textile production recognizable (water consumption, food competition, wage dumping). Due to intensive cultivation, such as the cotton plants and general pollution unfortunately lead to residues in natural raw materials such as cotton, jute or hemp. Plastic fibers contain no residue from pesticides, fertilizers or other environmental toxins. Cotton fibers are natural fibers and without chemical treatment not resistant to grease, rain or dirt. Permanent Non-Woven tote bags have exactly this advantage - even without being treated inside or outside or be laminated.

Standing in the rain. With the bag. The cotton bag absorbs moisture and passes it to the bag contents  - even if you just place the bag on a wet surface. In the rain, the consumer is better off with a Non-Woven bag. An uncoated Non-Woven bag has indeed not completely closed surface and allows after some time due to moisture

Although an uncoated woven bag system has no completely sealed surface, non and after a time may transmit moisture - because the synthetic fibers do not sucks the moisture from the environment - however, this happens much later than in a cotton bag. The consumer is in a rainy world better off with a Non-Woven bag.

Non-Woven textile fabric colors

The choice of colors is greatest at 80 g/m². Here you will find high probability even your company colors or color. Best: Let us know your preferred color in Pantone and we will make a proposal. In the higher weights, the selection is sadly less. If you order quantities of about 100,000 bags, we can dye the exact color you want, but it needs some more time.

Recycling. Cotton bags or Non-Woven bags?
Which bag is better because in the end in the recycling?

In the EU, at least in the German speaking countries, there is a very reliable well-developed plastic recycling and material cycles. These guarantees: Each plastic article will give you, whether as a fiber or in another form, encounter later. Non-Woven is no longer wasted today because recyclable plastic money. At the end of the life cycle are Non-Woven bags back to a well-utilizing recyclable material.

You order from us plastic bags Non-Woven and if after finishing life time Non-Woven bags will be properly disposed of after the last use (for example yellow container), then the value of recovered substance cycle begins after plastic recycling again - like spring follows winter. So this material has not need to be in its substance compostable waste.

Conversely, if a cotton bag has done its work, it ends up in municipal waste, is not sorted out as organic fiber and recycled, but is generally burned with everything else as residual waste.
