About jute bags
Jute bags are made from natural jute fabric, laminated or unlaminated, with cotton, rope or bamboo handles. They are popular with retailers, gifting companies, wedding planners and exporters for their sturdy build and eco-friendly image.
Laminated jute gives sharper print results; natural jute suits a rustic look.
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.
