Our iconic reflective shopping bags were made for #HKGiftfair and clients loved them. They are extremely useful during the night for pedestrian safety, but more than that the sustainability of the materials and educational aspect of colouring bags really resonated…
The versatility of these reflective shopping bags has been discussed in our previous blog post. In this blog, you will get to know about the manufacturing process of the reflective bags in more detail.
The material used to make the bag is RPET (recycled polyethylene terephthalate). The printing is usually done through silkscreen and CMYK printing. Another material that can be used for making these promotional bags is the non-woven fabric. Whilst it is more economical in the short term, it is not as sustainable so less preferred option.

Material Details
RPET or Recycled PET material is made from the recycled plastics bottles that are collected for this purpose. The recycling involves a number of processes. Mainly, the collection of the plastics bottles, sorting the reusable plastics and granulating them and then extrusion process after which they are made into pellets. These pellets then can be used for manufacturing the products.
Using RPET is a great initiative towards sustainability, as the plastics get reused for this purpose. On the environmental side, it is a great step as the carbon emission and the greenhouse gases are reduced by using RPET material and consequently saving energy in production. Moreover, RPET is quite versatile and cost-effective which makes it an excellent choice of material in terms of the marketing budget and being cost-effective in terms of the production budget.
