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 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.
