Nonwoven Fabric Small Bag

A nonwoven fabric small bag is a type of bag constructed from nonwoven fabrics – a fabric-like material made from long fibers, bonded together by chemical, mechanical, heat, or solvent extraction processes. Unlike traditional woven or knitted fabrics, nonwovens are not produced by interlacing yarns.

Material:

• Polypropylene (PP): The most common material due to its cost-effectiveness, strength, and resistance to moisture.
• Polyethylene (PE): Offers greater flexibility and is often used for bags requiring a softer feel.
• Polyester (PET): Provides higher strength and durability, often used for reusable bags.
• Other materials: Viscose, acrylic, and natural fibers (like jute or cotton) can also be used, though less common for small bags.
• Recycled materials: Increasingly, bags are made from recycled PP or PET, promoting sustainability.

Purpose:

These bags serve a wide variety of purposes, primarily as a lightweight and cost-effective packaging and carrying solution. Common applications include:

• Shopping bags: Used as alternatives to plastic bags, often for groceries or retail purchases.
• Promotional bags: Printed with logos and branding for marketing events.
• Gift bags: Used for small gifts or party favors.
• Packaging: Protecting and containing small items like cosmetics, food supplements, or hardware.
• Storage: Holding small items for organization.

Function:

The primary function is containment and transport. Key functional characteristics include:

• Lightweight: Easy to carry.
• Breathable: Allows air circulation, useful for certain products.
• Water-resistant: Offers some protection from moisture (depending on the material).
• Durable: Sufficient strength for carrying moderate weights.
• Printable: Accepts printing for branding and information.

Usage Scenarios:

• Retail: Providing customers with a bag at the point of sale.
• Trade shows and events: Distributing promotional materials.
• Grocery stores: Offering reusable alternatives to plastic bags.
• Cosmetic and pharmaceutical packaging: Protecting small products.
• Household storage: Organizing closets, drawers, and other spaces.

Common Types:

• Die-cut handle bags: Most common type, with handles punched out of the fabric.
• Loop handle bags: Featuring reinforced loop handles for added strength.
• Drawstring bags: Closed with a drawstring for secure closure.
• Laminated bags: Coated with a layer of plastic for increased strength, water resistance, and print quality.
• Sewn bags: Edges are sewn for added durability, often used for heavier items.
• Gusseted bags: With sides folded to create a wider base, allowing for more capacity.
• Flat bags: Simplest form, often used for packaging.
