Screen Printing on 14/15 Jute is also much better in appearance.

Non Woven

Non Woven is a Petroleum product that is not environment friendly.

The non woven products don't decompose in the land fills just like
plastic does not decompose. But since the non woven bags are reusable
they are still considered as eco friendly bags. We at Bombay Bags
don't encourage the use of the Non Woven fiber. Because of its super
low fashion appeal and also it is not suitable for environment. Many
counties around the world have already initiated procedures to ban or
discourage non woven material.
The best advantage of non-woven fiber is that it is very cheap. And
also since it is a plastic material it does have some water resistance
abilities.
Non Woven fabric comes in 10gsm to 150gsm. 70-120 gsm is the
popular fabric weight for non woven material. Most of the grocery
bags sold in stores are made of 70-80gsm.

Production Process
for High Quality Jute Tote

bags and Canvas Bags

How is our Production Process different from other Promotional Tote Bag
Suppliers?
Most of the Promotional Tote Suppliers don't make their own bags. They generally really on a third party
Tote Bag Manufacturer. They buy bulk Plain Jute Tote Bags, Jute Wine Bags and Canvas Bags from these
manufactures. And then when a customer wants a Promotional Tote, they print their logo on the Plain Totes
they have in inventory and ship them.
We at Bombay Bags make our own bags. And that's all we do. We make Tote Bags. This kind of
specialization has given us unique understanding of the Tote bag consumers mind.
When a customer orders the Tote Bags from us, at that time we get the fabric ready, Cut the fabric pieces for
making bags and Print their design and then make the Tote Bags. Whereas most other promo product
suppliers are printing on the pre made Tote bags.

What are the printing restrictions on Tote Bags?

PDF Creator - PDF4Free v3.01

options. And don't make any restrictions regarding the Bag Printed area. We can print on the Top, we can
print on the Bag Handles, we can print on the Bag Gusset and we can print on the Bag Bottom and we can

Certified Organic Cotton

What is Organic Cotton?

Organic cotton is non GM cotton that is grown using methods and materials that have a low impact on the
PDF Creator
- PDF4Free v3.01
http://www.pdf4free.com
environment. Organic production methods replenish and maintain soil fertility, reduce the use of toxic and
persistent pesticides and fertilizers, and build biologically diverse agriculture.

Organic cotton must be grown without the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.

What is Certified then?

Organic cotton is simply cotton grown using Organic Farming Principles. But the growers can go though
certifying bodies to enlist their produce as Certified Organic Cotton. With the certification comes the
assurance that the Organic growing methods have been fully complied with.
Without the certification from the certifying body no can claim their product to be Certified Organic cotton.
Third-party certification organizations verify that organic producers use only methods and materials allowed
in organic production.

Who are these Certifying Bodies?

There are many Certifying bodies around the world. USDA Certifies Organic Cotton in US. There are many
countries including Canada that also recognizes USDA Certification. But there is a lot of bureaucracy and
complications involved. Like at this time, USDA does not recognize GOTS, the EU Flower, or any other
certifications. Even though GOTS and EU Flower are pioneers in this field.
As a consumer if you just want to be assured that the product you are buying is definitely organic then here
is a list of Certifying bodies that we think are more than 100% reliable.

The Bombay Bags Story with Jute Bags and Canvas Totes
Many years ago, it was almost impossible to find tote bags for sale in our Grocery Stores in Canada and USA. There were only the
free plastic bags. These plastic bags were not only ugly and inconvenient to carry, they also were really bad for our environment. The
environment consciousness of the people related to those free plastic bags was also very poor. And they were a common site on our
beaches and parks. We started Bombay Bags in 2007 with this in mind. Soon we found great support from Oakridge Mall in
Vancouver. They invited us to design a Tote bag for them that would be used for their Annual Fashion Show. It was our first big
break. The Jute bag we developed for them became very popular among their customers. On popular demand they used a Jute Bag
even in their 2008 Annual Fashion Show, which was also done by Bombay Bags. We received a lot of calls and emails from the
Oakridge Mall customers who wanted to provide us their feedback on how happy they were with their Black Jute Bag.

Jute Canvas Tote as a Sustainable and Fashion Product

The Jute fabric is also known as Burlap or Hessian in North America. Since Jute material in North American has been traditionally
used for Industrial and Agricultural packaging. The average consumer is more familiar with the Burlap rugs which is a coarse Jute
material.
Jute is a rain-fed crop with little need for fertilizer. Jute plants grow so close to each other that no pest can survive in there so there
no need for pesticides or insecticides for growing Jute crops. This makes Jute the most organic fiber. Being a natural fiber, Jute is
100% biodegradable and recyclable. Thus the bags from this fiber are very environment friendly bags.
Another great thing about Jute Canvas fabric is that it requires no Chemical Bleaching for weaving or dying. After harvesting the
fabric staples from the plants, the fabric staples have to be bleached in order to make them wearable. But the Jute Staples are long
by nature so they require absolutely no Chemical Bleaching. This aspect makes the Jute Canvas Totes very gentle on skin and
especially for those prone to allergies. And also makes sure that Jute Tote bags have minimal impact on the environment of both the
place they are manufactured and the place they get used.
The high quality Jute Canvas we use is a fabric with very high fashion appeal. The fabric has a very natural look and yet looks
absolutely finished and high end. The Jute Canvas fiber weave is a little coarse and uneven and this gives it a very natural and green
bag kind of feeling. Another feature is that the Jute Totes can maintain their structure in free air and are very durable and convenient
to carry lot of stuff.

like cotton. Jute fabric is used in Packing, Furniture making, Carpet Backing and other Industrial products.

Jute is very popular for fashion products also. Jute fabric is used for making Tote bags, fashion accessories,
Crafts and also becoming popular for wearable clothing.
Organic cotton must be grown without the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.

How is Different from Cotton?

Other than how jute fabrics feel and look differently from Cotton Fabric there are three main differences:
How Jute is grown: Jute plant is a rain fed crop. It is not prone to pests and does not require much fertilizers.
So unlike cotton Jute does not need any insecticide, pesticide and fertilizers. In fact most farmers plant Jute
as a crop in between their main cash crop cycles because Jute plan helps the soil regain its nutrients.

How Jute fibers are processed: Cotton fiber staples are very small in their natural form. So to make
the long threads out of cotton staples, they need to go through the chemical bleaching process. Jute staples
are very long in their natural form when they are harvested from the Jute Plant. So they don't need any
Chemical Bleaching. And are ready for weaving them into a Jute Fabric without the need of any kind of
chemical treatment.

How Jute Fabric is dyed: Jute fabric is very easy to dye. The chemicals dyes used in the process are
minimal. Again, the most popular Jute colour is its natural colour, which does not require any kind of dying
itself.

Is Jute fabric Environment Friendly?

Jute Fabric requires minimal chemical usage from the growth to the processing of the Jute fabric. It has the
least environmental impact on the ecosystem of the place it is grown. This makes Jute one of the most eco
friendly natural fibers in the world today. It is a 100% bio degradable fabric. This makes it a popular choice
for Sustainable Fashion products. In fact Jute is the most Sustainable Fashion Fabric in the market today.

Is Jute fine for people with Allergies?

Jute fabric requires minimal chemical treatments. Therefore it is very popular among people with skin allergies.

What kind
Jute fabric

Bombay Bags is committed to providing its customers the best in the class Jute Fabric. The Jute fabric we
use is a high quality Jute fabric that is specially made for fashion products. As compared to many cheap bag
makers we only use the High Quality Golden Colour Fibers. And the 14/15 strand Jute Fabric. The golden
fibers greatly enhance the look and feel of the fabric. The Jute fabric used for industrial packaging has a dull
colour and cheaper. But for natural colour Tote Bags the fabric does look cheap.
The Fabric we use is specially made for the Fashion products on German Loom Machines. Also, the 14/15
stands make the fabric last longer and retain its new looks. And the Screen Printing also holds well for a
very long period of usage.
