Plastic or Cotton Tote Shoppers
Well there is quite a choice to be had in promotional bags and nearly every product is available with some form of environmentally-friendly ECO variant. Let’s take the Tote Shopper for example. These promotional products can be supplied in plastic or cotton and sometimes even an organic or Fairtrade version. When it comes to choosing carrier bags the main question is one of longevity. Take a ‘bag for life’ and make it plastic and you can imagine that over time the handles will pull and stretch. If they are part of the bag itself, the actually manufacturing technique can weaken the design. A promotional bag that could provide longer service will actually be made from cotton. This has the advantage of being able to be repaired and patched off course but the imprint may not be as vivid. Our advice therefore is to apply the 3 golden rules of promotional merchandising – budget, impact, longevity – what is your budget, what impact are you looking to make and over what period. When you have these nailed down the choice of whether to go for a plasic carrier bag or cotton Tote shopper is easy.
