Jute, Juco and rPET Shopping Bags

Shopping Bags in Other Materials

Shopping bags made from other materials are worth considering when standard cotton or paper options do not suit the intended appearance, feel or use. The active range includes jute, juco and rPET bags alongside different bag styles, so this category does not represent a single fabric type.

Consider what the bag needs to carry, how it will be worn or held and the impression you want it to create. Beyond the material, check the size, handles or drawstring, base design and whether the surface is suitable for a logo.

How do jute, juco and rPET differ?

Jute and juco: two different textures

Jute is a plant fibre with a recognisable, often coarser texture. For a natural-looking option, compare the BRAGA jute bag. Juco, by contrast, refers to a blend of jute and cotton, often with a more even weave and a different feel. One example in this category is the PADOVA juco bag. The actual surface, stiffness and composition depend on the particular product, not merely the material name.

rPET and other constructions

rPET stands for recycled polyethylene terephthalate, which can also be processed into fibres for bags. An example in this category is the MAPUTO rPET bag. The term rPET alone does not specify fabric thickness, appearance or the exact proportion of recycled content in the finished product. The range also contains bags with more general product names, so their composition should not be assumed without consulting the product details.

Choosing a shape to suit the contents and carrying method

A material name alone will not tell you whether a bag suits documents, a gift set or several items at once. Compare usable dimensions, the opening and how the bag is carried:

Size and base: check the width, height and any depth, especially for boxes or wider items.
Handles: their length and attachment affect how the bag can be carried.
Drawstring: its closure and use differ from a traditional handled bag; you can also compare drawstring bags.

If the shape matters more than the particular material, explore the wider shopping bags range and compare its subcategories.

What should you check for logos and orders?

A rough or pronounced woven surface can affect the appearance of fine lines and small details in a design. It is therefore sensible to check the actual material, available branding position, background colour and artwork size. For suitable products, Gajcom selects a personalisation method based on the material, design, quantity and desired finish; not every method suits every model.

For a specific quotation, provide the selected model, expected quantity and artwork. The layout and application method can also be agreed where needed.

Frequently asked questions

Does rPET mean a bag is waterproof?

No. rPET identifies the origin of the polymer material, not water resistance. This also depends on the weave, coating, seams and construction, so do not assume it without the specifications of the individual model.

How can I check whether documents or boxes will fit?

Compare the dimensions of the contents with the bag’s usable measurements, rather than judging width from a picture alone. For bulkier items, consider the base and opening as well; if dimensions are not provided, check them before ordering.

Which matters more: the material or the closure?

That depends on use. Easy access matters for items you take in and out frequently; with a drawstring bag, check how the top closes and how the bag is carried. Assess both alongside the dimensions.

Do the same order quantities and lead times apply to all models?

You cannot determine that from the category name. Availability, the proposed execution and the estimated lead time must be confirmed for the chosen model and order, particularly when personalisation is requested.
