About non-woven bags
Non-woven bags are made from polypropylene fabric in many GSMs and colours. They are among the most economical reusable carry bags and are widely used by garment shops, supermarkets, pharmacies and promotional campaigns.
Check your state's current rules on carry bags and minimum GSM before ordering.
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.
