About jute

Jute is a natural fibre grown and processed extensively in eastern India. Jute bags are sturdy, biodegradable and carry an eco-friendly image that retailers, brands and event organisers value. Laminated jute adds water resistance and a cleaner print surface; unlaminated jute keeps a fully natural look.

Things to consider: Natural jute has a coarse texture — fine logo detail prints better on laminated jute or juco.

About juco (jute-cotton blend)

Juco blends jute and cotton fibres, giving a softer hand-feel than pure jute and a smoother surface for sharper printing. It is a practical middle ground for brands that want an eco-friendly look with a premium finish.

Things to consider: Usually priced between cotton and laminated jute.
