How DDF Supports Green Initiatives With Recycled Shopping Bags?

What’s in the Bags?

These promo shopping bags are a must-have among tourists and passengers. The unique and special thing about the bags is that they are made of 3 pieces of recycled bottles.

Likewise, they are customised with Dubai’s most famous scenic views. The bags are designed with handles at the top, yet they are also created to fit in the handle of a trolley case.

Benefits of Hands-Free Shopping Bags

Hands-free shopping bags allow customers to carry their purchases effortlessly and conveniently.

This also means no more dropped items or painful palms from the regular bags in use today.

Hands-free bags also makes stuff feel lighter as they can be attached to trolley handle and avoid carrying packages by hand.

As travellers love keeping everything of utility inside their bag while out, hands-free bags are designed to ensure easy access to their belongings.

They are big enough to store items, which allows shoppers to pull in purchases easily.

Furthermore,  the bags are definitely useful for long trips on the weekend.

Another reason why using hand-free recycled shopping bags is that they are safe for the environment.

Unlike single-use plastics, they can be reused multiple times once washed and dry.

These bags are made from 3 recycled plastic bottles sourced from an ethically managed supply chain.

This means DDF is also providing their shoppers and customers with a sustainable alternative, not a ‘green-washed’ solution.

Though Covid-restrictions are already lifted, it doesn’t mean that tourists have to be complacent about their health.

In fact, travel retail is a place where most people go, and the possibility of getting viruses is very high.

And here’s where hands-free bags also come to play. They help prevent shoppers from touching bag handles and items, limiting their contact with contaminated products.

Custom hands-free bags helps ensure the safety of shoppers’ belongings throughout their trips.

Likewise, because they are made from durable materials, these reusable bag designs can bear a stronger load than conventional bags.

Thus, these bags make their purchases and stuff in good condition, not worrying about loss or leaks.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Hands-Free Shopping Bags

Inspired by how DDF market its recycled shopping bags? If yes, make sure you choose reusable shopping bags that best suit your customers’ needs.

But how do you choose a hands-free shopping bag that’s right for your business? Here are the factors you need to consider:

1. Size and Capacity

It is always important to choose the right size of hands-free shopping bags to offer your customers. This will help shoppers carry the bag conveniently around places. Moreover, the bag capacity is something to keep an eye on.

Securing that they can store their items in the bags safely and easily will give your products an excellent selling advantage whilst making your customers comfortable.

2. Materials

Reusable bag materials come in a wide variety, and new ones are constantly being created. Most frequently, nonwoven polypropylene, cotton, laminated materials, polyester or nylon, recycled PET, or natural materials are used to make reusable bags (jute, bamboo, or hemp).

Therefore when choosing your own materials, always go for the ones that are safe for the environment yet durable and high-quality.

3. Design and Style

There are a lot of promotional shopping bag designs and styles available nowadays. Some bags fold, some zip, some snap, some are small, and some are large. Thus, as a business, you must choose designs that will always fit your customers’ needs and tastes in fashion.

4. Price

It’s important to consider your budget before looking at bags. If you see samples of $8 bags before discovering that you can only afford $2 bags, you will be disappointed.

Like all other products, you get what you pay for. But it doesn’t happen all the time. Sometimes, If you’ve found a trusted supplier, you can guarantee they do the project within your means. In addition, producing them in bulk order can help you save resources.
