FAQs about promotional non-woven bags
Here are some of the most common questions asked by customers just like you.
What is the difference between woven and non-woven bags?
Non-woven bags come from non-woven fabric, which is made from staple fibre (short) and long fibres (continuous long), bound together by various methods. These fibres can be bound through chemical, mechanical, heat or solvent treatment. Some examples include felt, since that fabric is not woven, nor knitted.
Woven bags come from woven fabric, which is made specifically from weaving. In a sense, a woven fabric is any fabric made by interlacing two or more threads together at right angles. Woven can be made from natural fibres (cotton), synthetic fibres (polyester) or a combination of both.
Are non-woven bags washable?
Yes! You should machine wash on a gentle cycle, cold water recommended. You can also hand wash and hang out on a line to dry. Be sure to read any care instructions on the specific product for more information.
What are the advantages of non-woven fabrics?
- Lightweight: The material is lightweight, giving the bag a lightweight feel as well
- Water-repellent: Because of the fibres used in creation, generally, non-woven fabrics are water repellent.
- Softness: Fine fibres are bonding at high temperatures, learning to an overall soft and comfortable feeling
What are the disadvantages of non-woven fabrics?
- Durability: While it is great to be lightweight, the fabric’s material is not as durable and long-lasting as woven ones.
- Rips easily: By definition, the fibres are connected by a 90 degree angle, they can be easier to rip or tear over time.
Which is better, woven or non-woven?
That depends on what type of texture and feel you would like your tote bag to have.
Non-woven fabrics skip the intermediate step of converting fibres into yarn, they have more flexibility. But they might not be as durable or feel as natural as traditional woven fabrics.
