Imprinted Tote Bags: An Eco-Friendly Branding Tool for Today's Retailers

Many of today's retailers are trying to find creative solutions for reducing their carbon footprint.  In fact, increasing numbers of cities, states and regions are legislating this by introducing laws and by-laws requiring retailers to take more eco-friendly measures, such as reducing plastic bag usage.  One way that eco-conscious retailers are helping to reduce plastic bag usage is by introducing reuasable imprinted tote bags to shoppers.

Reusable shopping bags can be made from a variety of materials.  Here at Art Promos we carry a number of different types of reusable printed tote bags that are ideal for shopping, including:

• Woven: Woven tote bags are produced by weaving threads together.  These threads can be made from materials such as cotton, jute or polyester.  Sometimes woven totes are laminated to provide extra stiffness, durability or for aesthetic reasons.
• Non-woven: Personalized non-woven tote bags are produced by pressing fibers together using heat, creating a flat piece of fabric that is then cut and sewn together.  Non-woven totes may also be laminated.
• Non-fiber: Reusable totes can also be made of non-fiber materials, such as vinyl or heavy plastic.
• Recycled materials: Art Promos carries many tote designs that are partially or fully made from recycled materials.  Not only do these types of totes help reduce plastic bag usage, but users can also feel good about having given a second life to materials that were previously used in another item.

Custom printed tote bags range in price depending on the type of material and the design.  Generally speaking, non-woven and woven totes are the least expensive and many designs cost as little as one to two dollars per unit and are highly economical and affordable even for smaller businesses. These bags can be given away as promotional gifts, or they can be retailed to shoppers and their use encouraged as a means for reducing plastic bag usage and waste.

Custom printed tote bags are a practical and effective way to brand your business because when they get reused, they get seen over and over again, not just by the user but by those around him or her.  Not only that, but your business and reputation will soon beome associated with the movement toward a greener, more sustainable planet.
