About non-woven (PP)
Non-woven polypropylene bags are economical, light and reusable, which makes them common for retail counters, supermarkets, exhibitions and promotional distribution. GSM is chosen by load, and the bags can be stitched or heat-sealed, with screen or offset printing.
Things to consider: Check local regulations on GSM and carry bags for your state before ordering.
About velvet & satin
Velvet and satin give a soft, rich finish that suits jewellery pouches, potli bags and premium gift packaging. They pair well with drawstrings, tassels, embroidery and foil-printed labels.
Things to consider: Best for small, light items rather than heavy loads.
