Why cotton for shopping bags

Cotton bags are lightweight, washable and widely accepted as a reusable alternative to single-use plastic. They suit grocery bags, retail carry bags, drawstring pouches and promotional totes. Fabric weight is chosen according to whether the bag is a light giveaway or a daily-use carry bag.

How to choose cotton shopping bags for a bulk order

Decide these four things first — they drive suitability, quality and price.

  1. Load

    Grocery and retail loads need gussets and reinforced handles; giveaways can be lighter.

  2. Material

    Non-woven for economy, cotton for washable reuse, jute for a natural premium look, paper for boutique retail.

  3. Fabric weight

    Specify GSM — it decides strength and price more than any other choice.

  4. Print

    One- or two-colour screen printing keeps costs down on large runs.
