Made In the USA Tote Bag

GreenBagPromos.com offers a wide variety of choices for eco friendly shopping bags--a lot of different bag styles. The bag we will be discussing in this article is our GB304 series, our USA Made Gusset Tote Bag.

First of all, you may be wondering "what is a gusset?" Well, I'm glad you asked. A gusset is the bottom part of the bag, and the measurement of the gusset shows how wide the bottom of the bag is. Our USA Gusset Tote bag is available in six different sizes and can all be imprinted with a very large 10x10 imprint area, which is pretty large for a bag this size. Most imprint areas are much smaller.

This particular bag is made from cotton, which is eco-friendly because it is biodegradable. Cotton is a natural fiber, which means it will also be biodegradable. These bags are also very durable and can be reused over and over again. So, these bags can be taken to the shopping stores, and therefore will be used as advertising while people carry your logo around the store. Many people also use this bag to carry books and to school and the library.

There are many color options for the handles of the bags--sixteen to be exact! We also the actual bag color options as well--ten different bag color options! There are so many combinations for bag color and handle color options. The handles of this bag are also available in three different size lengths: 18" 22" and 24" handles. There are also different closure options. We have double snap closure available for free upon request, and zipper closure for only $1 per bag. These bags can produced in 7-10 business days, and all the pricing on our website include a one-color imprint.

Let me also add, most of our bags have a set-up charge that goes along with the bag order. When re-ordering bags, the price for the set-up is often dropped or reduced significantly. This bag is eco-friendly, biodegradable, and reusable.

Most importantly, this bag is made in the USA! Some companies may claim that their bags are made in the USA, but in reality, they are manufactured in another country and only printed in America. This bag is manufactured and printed in the USA. This bag is eco-friendly, it's fun, affordable, and made in the USA.

Green Bags go on Video!

GreenBagPromos.com has started a video series explaining each eco friendly shopping bag and why it is eco friendly! The first video post was made yesterday, and the video goes into detail about the cotton canvas tote bag, GB300 and GB301. These two bags have been some of the most popular bags because they are such a great deal for smaller quantities, and as you will find out, they are a great eco friendly bag, too!

SPRING FLING! Members Only sale begins tomorrow!

Eco Friendly Bags for Fund Raisers

If your school, church, or organization is trying to raise money for a good cause, eco friendly shopping bags are great for raising money! They provide a very low cost, and a great turn-around for profit! For example, the bag we suggest works best for fund raising is the flat Cotton Canvas tote Bag. This bag costs $1.65 for 500 bags or more. Let's say you sell the bags for $5.00 during your fund raiser. If you sell 500 bags, your organization just made $1,675.00! Or, if you sell 1000 bags, the profit doubles to $3,350! This can be a great way to raise money because people love these bags for shopping, or bookbags.
Another great way to promote this project is to have a competition. Many of our orders have done this, and it has always had a great response. The organization holds a competition for the artwork of the bag, and the winner has their artwork displayed on the bag. Some organizations also give the winner a cash prize or some kind of incentive.
Call us for more details on the fundraising ideas: 1-800-796-1609.

Made in the USA non-woven

Trying to find a reusable shopping bag made in the USA? There is one available on our site. We offer quite a few sizes. The bag is a 200 nylon denier. This bag is great for shopping for consumers. And it's a great way for businesses to get some advertising because their logo will be imprinted on the bag.

If you're looking for a more cost-efficient non-woven bag, they can be found here. These bags may not be manufactured in the USA, but all of the printing is done here in the States.

A Lot Less plastic bags in the Capital?

As reported by enn.com, Washington D.C. will be considering whether or not to impose a $0.05 tax on every plastic or paper bag used in stores. This would be a very considerable markup which would be great for the environment!
Disregarding the politics of the issue, the tax would discourage many people from using the store's bags, and most people will opt for buying the reusable shopping bags. This is exciting news for any company wanting to go eco friendly with their shopping bags.
Grocery stores should be aware, however, that just because a bag is reusable, does not necessarily mean that it is eco friendly. Cotton bags are one of the most eco friendly bags because they are made from a natural biodegradable material.

Green Bags for Farmers Markets

One of our latest Green Bags inquiries is for a Farmer's Market. This is a great idea because most the people that shop at Farmer's markets are typically more conscious about they're involvement with the environment. This particular farmer's market is selling their eco friendly shopping bags to the people that shop at the Farmer's Market. The bag will have the market's logo imprinted, so people will see that logo every time they shop, and they will be more inclined to go shopping at the Farmer's Market again. And, when they use the bag somewhere else, it's advertising for that Farmer's Market. You just can't lose!

Corn Plastic Bags

What's the thought on Corn Plastic Bags today? They're great, right!? Corn plastic is made from the oils from the corn plant. The oil is similar to a petroleum oil that we use for gasoline in our cars an to heat our homes. The biggest exception with corn plastic is that it is made from corn! So, it is 100% biodegradable!
It doesn't take very long at all for a corn plastic bag to decompose when it is in the trash dumps. The corn plastic is very safe for the environment. What's the drawback? Right now, it takes a lot of corn to make enough plastic. Consequently, the bags are fairly expensive compared to traditional plastic bags. So, to save money, most people get the cheaper, more bio-hazardous bag. Currently, we do have the corn plastic bag available on our website yet, but it can be ordered. Ask us about our corn plastic bags if you're interested in purchasing some with your logo on them, or you could get them blank if you would rather have that.
