Print on Non-Woven Fabric Bags with Digital Technology

Non-woven bags are not just bags; they’re a symbol of sustainability and conscientious living. Found at grocery stores and retail outlets, these eco-friendly alternatives have revolutionized the way we shop and promote responsible consumption. Offering durability, versatility, and longevity, non-woven bags have emerged as a go-to choice for environmentally conscious consumers. Beyond their eco-credentials, non-woven bags serve as a prime canvas for branding initiatives, allowing companies to personalize them with logos, designs, event specifics, and more. Join us as we explore the multifaceted world of non-woven bags, uncovering their manufacturing process, unique characteristics, and how to digitally decorate them.

How are Non-Woven Bags Created

Unlike their woven counterparts, non-woven bags are typically manufactured. Still made up of fabrics or fibers, rather than being woven, non-woven bags are either mechanically, chemically or thermally entangled together.

One can identify non-woven bags by their distinctive characteristic of non-planar structure, or rather, the three-dimensional quality. Compared to woven bags that have a blatant checker-board weave, non-woven have a textured look, sometimes resembling bee-hive repetitive indentations.
