New non-woven bags steal the spotlight

Non-woven bags (items are made from extruded sheets of plastic, not woven plastic fibers) provide an alternative to traditional paper and plastic bags. These very strong bags may be reused often and can be finished with accessories and a wide variety of print processes. Non-woven and woven bags have become popular for many reasons, including their durability and the associated benefit of achieving a reduction in total packaging consumption.

Polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bags are made of eminently recyclable synthetic materials, ensuring that once they've been used as much as they can be, the consumer can drop them into a recycling bin to be converted into another useful item.
