rPET Bags

The rPET bag range is best understood by what the recipient does with it:

1. Everyday carry: Tote bags in flat, gusseted, felt, and foldable formats. The broadest-use style in the range. Carried to the supermarket, the office, the market, and back again. Full colour print on both sides available on select styles. Minimum orders from 50 on some tote styles
2. Active carry: Sports bags, backsacks, and sling bags for gym, sport, outdoor events, and festival use. Cross-body and drawstring formats keep hands free
3. Commuter and conference carry: Backpacks and messenger bags suited to daily commuting, conference delegate packs, and student use. Structured formats that hold documents and electronics comfortably
4. Functional speciality: Cooler bags for food and beverage carry at outdoor events; toiletry bags for travel gifts and hotel amenity packs; waist bags for festivals and active outdoor use

Conference delegates who carry a branded rPET bag around the event floor put that sustainability story in front of every person they pass. After the conference ends, the bag goes home and becomes a daily carry item (to the shops, the office, and the market) and keeps working for the brand in every one of those settings without any further effort.

All styles can be branded. Screen printing works across all styles. Sublimation and full colour digital print suit styles with larger or more detailed artwork requirements.

Common Questions

How does rPET differ from regular polyester bags?

Regular polyester is made from virgin petroleum-derived plastic, while rPET uses the same base material sourced from post-consumer plastic bottles. The finished fabric is functionally identical in durability and print quality, but rPET diverts plastic from landfill, which is the distinction that makes the sustainability claim substantive.

What rPET bag style works best for a conference delegate pack?

Tote bags with a gusset suit conference packs well because they carry a full document load, sit on the shoulder, and leave hands free. Backpacks suit multi-day conferences where delegates move between venues, and sling bags are a more compact option for shorter events.

Are the rPET bags in this range durable enough for daily use?

rPET polyester holds up through daily use, repeated loading, and regular washing, with felt construction styles adding structure that further improves durability. Bags designed for repeated use make more effective promotional items than those intended for one-time distribution.

What is the minimum order for branded rPET bags?

Several tote styles start at 50 units, with other styles at 100 or 250. Regular production takes 5–10 business days from artwork approval, depending on the product.
