Reusable Grocery Bags
Ecologists have been warning us about preserving our planet since forever. Still, the human race has only recently started paying attention to environmental issues. You may have noticed more individuals and organisations fighting against water pollution, attempting to preserve marine life. But what do reusable printed grocery shopping bags have to do with ecology?
The answer is — everything. For starters, they replace the standard plastic bags that have been destroying our environment for so long. The truth is, it takes a regular plastic bag up to 1,000 years to decompose. Even then, it leaves behind microplastics — tiny parts that absorb toxins, further polluting the environment.
Therefore, the best thing about reusable bags is that they make an eco-friendlier grocery-carrying option. Unlike plastic bags that get thrown away after a single use, these guys can become your regular shopping buddies. As a result, less plastic would get into nature, and, more importantly, stay there. By deciding to permanently switch to reusable shopping bags, you’ll be doing our planet a huge favour.
With that in mind, we’re here to tell you something more about your new shopping assistants. The truth is, they can come in many shapes, sizes, and colours. But one thing’s for sure: each one will help you make this world a better place.
Tote Grocery Bags
Custom cotton totes are the most common type of reusable grocery bags you’ll be able to find. Made of cloth with an open top, these guys are perfect for carrying all kinds of items — from groceries to your personal belongings. They usually feature only one compartment but are still pretty spacious and convenient. And since they come in many shapes and colours, totes can make excellent accessories to your style.
Fruit and Vegetable Bags with Inside Pockets
If you’re feeling more convinced about throwing away (only figuratively) plastic bags for good, these reusable bags have got your back. Their fabric is soft and adjustable to fit all kinds of bulky items inside. That’s also the reason why these bags have multiple inside pockets or compartments. They help you keep your groceries from getting into contact or mixing with one another.
For that reason, these reusable bags are ideal for carrying fruits and vegetables. You’ll be able to separate them and keep them safe, all using only one grocery bag. Just imagine how many plastic bags you’d need for the same amount of groceries you’d be carrying home from the market on a single occasion. Luckily, these reusable bags for fruits and veggies are here to make all your future visits to the market more convenient.
Drawstring Bags
Yet another great alternative to plastic bags is drawstring bags that don’t allow your groceries to spill. Branded drawstring bags can be made from cotton, jute, and hemp, as well as other natural fibres. When open, these guys are square-shaped and have a hole with a drawstring on both sides. Some drawstring bags can also come with a tote strap. These custom drawstring totes make it easier for you to carry them.
Given their usually small size, these bags are ideal for fitting those groceries that aren’t too bulky. So, you can use them for grains, nuts, or even candies. The best thing about them is that they’ll keep your food from spilling, thanks to the drawstring. That’s why even flour and sugar would be perfectly safe in your gunny sack bags.

Cooler Bags
Who says reusable grocery bags are only for outdoor uses? As you might have guessed, printed cooler bags are for indoors and outdoors use both. So, instead of helping you carry your groceries from the market, these bags let you store them at home. They feature a freezable gel-liner that keeps your items fresh and cool.
Because of that, these bags are perfect for storing fruit and vegetables. Just fold the bag and place it inside your fridge to keep your groceries from spoiling. And you shouldn’t worry about your food getting contaminated, either. That’s because these bags are lead-free, BPA-free, and are washable.
Net String Grocery Bags
These guys are yet another eco-friendly alternative to plastic bags. They usually come with two handles and a netting section that provides your groceries with just enough ventilation. You can also opt for reusable mesh grocery bags that are somewhat smaller than net string bags. Since they’re made of polyester and nylon, you can always wash them after a couple of uses.
Reusable grocery bags with netting can be perfect for carrying fruit and vegetables. But in case you choose a mesh bag, you’ll only be able to fit less bulky products inside. Either way, one thing is clear: your groceries would be getting enough fresh air. And thanks to these eco-friendly bags, you’d be able to breathe again, too.
Reusable Grocery Bags with a Zipper
Last but not least, grocery bags featuring a zipper are another must-have for your shopping sprees. When it comes to their fabric, you’ll be able to find zipper bags made of cotton, canvas, jute, and other materials. They’ll keep your groceries safe from spilling more than any other reusable bags would.
But before you make your zipper bag purchase, make sure the zipper isn’t low-quality or broken. Otherwise, your money would just go down the drain. That’s because your items would either get stuck or wouldn’t even make it home.
Promotional Reusable Grocery Bags
Now that you’ve learned how both your groceries and our environment benefit from reusable bags, it’s time you found out about their other potential uses. The truth is, these bags make perfect logo items that can help you boost your business like no other items. They’re practical, elegant, and eco-friendly, which is why none of your acquaintances would miss out on using them. All you’ll need to do is brand your new reusable bags with the logo of your company.
As a result, your name will stand out, and more people will notice and remember it. Odds are, they’ll immediately start appreciating your brand for everything it does for the environment. In the end, more and more clients will be knocking on your door every day.
