FAQ

We typically offer 60 gsm, 80 gsm, 100 gsm, and 120 gsm as standard options.

• 60–80 gsm: Lightweight, cost-effective, ideal for promotional giveaways.
• 100 gsm: Mid-weight, the most popular choice for retail shopping bags.
• 120 gsm: Heavy-duty, stiffer structure, suitable for premium gift bags or heavier loads.

Custom GSM can also be arranged for large-volume orders.

Yes. Non-woven PP bags are reusable and serve as a practical alternative to single-use plastic bags. Their environmental benefit depends on reuse frequency — studies indicate they should be reused at least 11 times to outperform conventional HDPE plastic bags in terms of carbon footprint. However, standard PP is not biodegradable, so responsible recycling at end-of-life is important. We also offer recycled PP (rPP) options to further reduce environmental impact

For example, lightweight bags used for trade shows or promotions are ideal for brochures, gifts, or light products. Heavier-duty reusable shopping bags with stronger stitching, box bottoms, or cross-stitched handles are better suited for groceries, packaging, and repeated daily use.

As a professional non-woven bag manufacturer, we can recommend the best fabric weight and bag structure based on your intended application, ensuring the right balance between durability, cost, and performance.

Yes. Polypropylene is a thermoplastic with recycling code #5, meaning it can be melted down and reformed into new plastic products such as bins, automotive parts, or packaging materials. Recycling infrastructure varies by country, so we recommend checking local facilities. For B2B clients, we can include recycling symbols and instructions on the bag or packaging to encourage proper disposal.

Absolutely. We can manufacture non-woven bags using recycled polypropylene (rPP) sourced from post-industrial or post-consumer waste. Typical rPP content ranges from 30% to 100%, depending on your target market requirements and budget. rPP bags may have a slightly different texture or color consistency compared to virgin PP, which we can discuss during sampling.

Standard virgin non-woven PP material is generally compliant with REACH and the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). However, compliance also depends on:

• Printing inks: We use eco-friendly, non-toxic inks.
• Lamination films: OPP/PE films need to meet specific migration limits.
• Additives: Color masterbatches and UV stabilizers must be REACH-compliant.

We can provide compliance declarations and arrange third-party testing (SGS, Intertek, Bureau Veritas) if required for your market.

Standard PP non-woven bags cannot biodegrade — they can persist in landfills for 20–30 years. If you require biodegradable or compostable bags, we can produce alternatives using:

• PLA (polylactic acid)— compostable in industrial facilities.
• PBAT blends— biodegradable under specific conditions.
• Oxodegradable additives— though these are increasingly restricted in markets like the EU.

The weight capacity of a non-woven shopping bag depends on several factors, including the fabric GSM, bag size, handle construction, and stitching quality.

In general, standard reusable non-woven bags can typically carry between 5–15 kg (11–33 lbs).

For lightweight promotional bags, lower GSM materials are suitable for carrying brochures, clothing, or small retail items.

Heavier-duty non-woven bags with reinforced handles and higher GSM fabric are better suited for groceries, packaging, and daily shopping use.

As a professional non-woven bag manufacturer, we can recommend the right material thickness and construction based on your product weight and usage requirements to ensure durability and long-term reusability.

Non-woven PP bags are significantly more durable than single-use plastic or paper bags, but generally less rugged than heavy cotton canvas.

Depending on the GSM (grams per square meter), our non-woven bags can comfortably carry 5 kg to 15 kg. For everyday retail, promotional events, or grocery shopping, they offer excellent longevity at a much lower cost point than canvas. With proper care, they can be reused 50+ times.

Yes. Non-woven PP bags can be wiped clean with a damp cloth or gently hand-washed in cold water. We do not recommend machine washing, as agitation can weaken the bonded fibers and distort the shape. Laminated bags are even easier to clean — simply wipe the surface. Always air-dry; do not tumble dry or iron.
