Cotton Bags size guide

How to choose cotton bags for a bulk order
Decide these four things first — they drive suitability, quality and price.
Load
Grocery and retail loads need gussets and reinforced handles; giveaways can be lighter.
Material
Non-woven for economy, cotton for washable reuse, jute for a natural premium look, paper for boutique retail.
Fabric weight
Specify GSM — it decides strength and price more than any other choice.
Print
One- or two-colour screen printing keeps costs down on large runs.
