About grocery bags
Grocery bags must carry heavy, bulky shopping without tearing. Supermarkets, kirana chains and organic stores order reusable grocery bags in non-woven, cotton or jute, printed with store branding.
Base width and handle reinforcement matter more than fabric for heavy grocery loads.
About shopping bags
Shopping bags are the carry bags a customer leaves the store with. Choosing the right material — non-woven, cotton, jute, canvas or paper — depends on the store's products, budget and brand positioning.
Most stores need two or three sizes; ordering a size set together keeps branding consistent.
