Bags we make with zip

BagHow it is used
Jute Bags with ZipZipped jute bags are popular for corporate gifting and conferences, where the bag is carried around all day. The zip is usually set into a fabric or jute tape across the top, and a laminated inner lining keeps the jute fibres off the contents.
Cotton Bags with ZipA zip makes a cotton tote usable as an everyday office or college bag. Cotton is easy to sew, so coil zips sit neatly and the bag still folds flat.
Tote Bags with ZipZip-top totes are the most requested upgrade on corporate and event totes. A zip with a fabric pull tab in the brand colour is a simple way to make a tote feel finished.
Gift Bags with ZipA zip turns a gift bag into a reusable pouch the recipient keeps, which extends the life of the branding.
Conference Bags with ZipDelegates carry conference bags with brochures, devices and gifts all day; a zipped main compartment stops items falling out between sessions.
Non-Woven Bags with ZipA zip on a non-woven bag suits promotional kits and storage uses. Non-woven is light, so a light coil zip is used to keep the cost low.
Shopping Bags with ZipZipped reusable shopping bags are used by stores that want a premium loyalty bag rather than a basic carry bag.
Cosmetic Pouches with ZipA zip is essential on cosmetic pouches so liquids and small items stay inside the larger bag; a water-resistant zip suits toiletry use.
Pencil Pouches with ZipPencil pouches rely on a full-length zip so pens and erasers do not spill into school bags.
Laptop Tote Bags with ZipA zip-top laptop tote protects the laptop on commutes while keeping the open-tote look.
Promotional Bags with ZipZipped promotional bags feel more valuable to recipients, so they are kept and used longer.
Potli Bags with ZipA zip-top potli is more secure than a drawstring for coins and jewellery, while keeping the traditional look.
Jhola Bags with ZipA zip across the top turns an open jhola into a secure everyday bag for college and travel.
Beach Bags with ZipA zipped beach bag keeps sand out and phones and wallets safe by the pool.
Drawstring Bags with ZipA zip pocket on a drawstring bag secures keys and phones.
Paper Bags with ZipZip-top paper pouches suit premium packaging for apparel and accessories.
Jewellery Pouches with ZipZipped jewellery pouches keep pieces secure in travel and storage.
Bottle Bags with ZipZip-top bottle bags hold the bottle securely during travel.
Picnic Bags with ZipZipped insulated compartments keep food cold and insects out.
Saree Covers with ZipFull-length zips make saree covers easy to open and close.
Tech Pouches with ZipA full zip-around opening lets tech pouches open flat so every cable is visible.
Tiffin Bags with ZipA zip top keeps tiffins secure and warm until lunch.
Rice & Grain Packaging Bags with ZipZipped rice bags reseal after opening, keeping grain clean at home.
Muslin & Drawstring Packaging Pouches with ZipSmall zip pouches give muslin packaging a more premium, reusable finish.
Knife Rolls with ZipZip-around knife cases keep blades fully enclosed in transit.
