Yes. We look after you personally – from the first consultation through samples and layout to delivery. You will usually receive a reply within one working day.

We make promotional bags from recycled RPET, PP woven (laminated), non-woven (PP fleece), cotton (including organic), jute, felt (often RPET felt), paper and polyester (foldable, optionally rPET). Selected models are also produced in the EU.

PP woven is a woven, usually laminated polypropylene – highly tear-resistant, water-repellent, holds its shape and can be printed with photorealistic designs. Non-woven is a lighter PP fleece, particularly cost-efficient and ideal for large promotional runs.

Among others: shoppers, zip bags, cooler bags, backpacks and drawstring bags, foldable pocket shoppers, paper carrier bags and our patented CityShopper with a detachable freezer compartment. We also produce bespoke shapes.

Yes. On request, you will receive a sample or a layout with your logo for final approval before series production.

The CityShopper is a laminated woven shopping bag made from recycled R-PET or R-PP with a patented 2-in-1 function: it combines a classic shopping bag with an integrated, detachable freezer compartment.

The insulated extra compartment keeps chilled and frozen food at temperature on the way home. When it is not needed, it can be fastened to the main compartment with press studs to save space – keeping the bag compact.

The main compartment measures 48 × 19 × 38 cm, and the freezer compartment adds a further 19 cm. It closes with a zip or a hook-and-loop flap.

Screen printing, gravure printing (on laminated bags), flexographic printing, full-surface digital/photo printing, DTF, DTG, heat transfer and sublimation printing, as well as embroidery and embossing. The right method depends on the material, design and quantity – we will advise you personally.

Yes. For photorealistic designs, gravure printing on laminated bags, digital/photo printing, DTF and sublimation are ideal. For crisp logos in large quantities, screen printing with its high opacity is the cost-effective choice.

Ideally as a vector file (SVG, AI, EPS or PDF). Please supply photographic designs in high resolution. We check your artwork and will get in touch if we have any questions.

The minimum quantity depends on the material and printing method. Tell us what you need – we will show you suitable options and tiered prices.

The price depends on material, size, printing method, finishing and, above all, quantity – larger runs are significantly cheaper per unit. You will receive a transparent, tiered quotation.

Lead time depends on material, quantity and finishing. For EU production it is approx. 8–10 weeks. We will confirm a binding lead time with your quotation.

We rely on recycled materials such as RPET made from PET bottles, on durable quality for many reuses and, on request, on EU production with short transport routes. For us, sustainability is the foundation, not an add-on.

RPET stands for recycled PET – plastic recovered from used PET bottles and processed into a robust woven fabric. This turns waste into a durable, reusable advertising medium.

Yes. Our bags are designed for long-term use, are reusable and, depending on the material, recyclable – a sustainable alternative to single-use bags.
