The eco-friendly bag in the photo is a prime example of a 110gsm Non-woven Bag.
Unlike traditional woven fabrics, non-woven fabric (also known as bonded fabric) is made without spinning or weaving. Instead, fibers (typically polypropylene, or PP) are mechanically, thermally, or chemically bonded together.
- The meaning of “110gsm”: “GSM” stands for Grams per Square Meter. It indicates that one square meter of this fabric weighs 110 grams.
- Thickness & Quality: In the world of non-woven tote bags, 110gsm is considered a premium, heavy-duty grade. While standard promotional giveaway bags are usually 70gsm or 80gsm, a 110gsm bag is noticeably thicker, stiffer, and more substantial to the touch.
Key Features of 110gsm Non-woven Bags
- High Durability and Load Capacity: Thanks to its thickness, this fabric offers excellent tensile strength and wear resistance. Combined with sturdy stitching or ultrasonic welding, it can comfortably carry weights ranging from 8 to 15 kg or more, making it highly reusable.
- Structured and Upright Shape: Even when empty, a 110gsm bag maintains its shape relatively well without collapsing, giving it a neater, more premium appearance.
- Excellent Printing Quality (Lamination): * As seen on this Hong Kong “Customs Canine Force” promotional bag, intricate and colorful illustrations (like the adorable puppies) are achieved through a lamination process.
- The design is printed onto a thin plastic film, which is then thermally bonded to the 110gsm non-woven fabric. This process not only allows for vibrant, full-color graphics but also makes the bag water-resistant and wipe-clean.
- Eco-Friendly: Serving as a great alternative to single-use plastic bags, PP non-woven material breaks down much faster in natural environments and promotes sustainability through its long lifespan.
Common Applications
Because 110gsm bags look and feel premium while being exceptionally durable, they are widely used for:
- Government and Corporate Promotional Events: High-quality souvenir and gift bags (just like this Customs promotional bag).
- Exhibitions, Trade Shows, and Conventions: Heavy-duty swag bags to hold booklets, brochures, and freebies.
- Retail and Packaging: Upscale shopping bags for clothing, shoeboxes, books, or festive gift hampers.
