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.
About produce mesh bags
Produce mesh bags are light, see-through drawstring bags that replace single-use plastic for fruit, vegetables and loose groceries. Supermarkets, organic stores and sustainability-focused brands sell or give them away in sets.
Mesh bags are usually sold in sets of 3 or 5 sizes — plan the set and its packaging together.
