The Best Reusable Shopping Bags

Updated 31/03/2024

The days of regularly using single-use plastic without a second thought are over. Reusable bags' benefits extend beyond personal convenience. They positively impact the environment, local economies, and future sustainability efforts. This is why Adventa has created a range of customisable photo jute bags.

In this blog, we’re sharing our bags with you, delving into the benefits of reusable bags, and exploring the questions we’re most frequently asked about them.

Adventa’s Reusable Bags

Adventa’s range of personalised photo bags comprises three colour options and three different sizes, giving you the variety to offer something new and different to your customers. They work great as part of a ‘design your own jute bag’ campaign. A print can easily be slid into the pocket on the front of the bag, so either you can make it up for your customers in seconds or give it to them blank for them to have fun making at home.

The range of photo jute bags comes in three sizes – 4 x 6”, 6 x 8” and 8 x 10”.

The large 8 x 10” photo bag makes an ideal reusable grocery bag. Its strong ergonomic handles allow customers to carry their shopping safely and easily.

Party bags are not just for children (although they still can be). More and more party events, from Weddings to baby showers, are giving out fun-filled party bags to their guests. The medium 6 x 8” photo jute bag is an ideal size, and the decent-sized photo area means you can put a selfie from the day or a lovely thank-you message.

Also in the personalisable bag range is the Mini Jute Bag. This small hessian bag holds a 4 x 6” print. Its compact and cute size makes it a great bag for packing one's lunch. The 4 x 6” area can hold a lovely family photo, or the kids can draw or paint a picture to insert in.

Each size is available in a natural jute colour, pink, or black. Using the vegetable fibre jute, which has been spun into coarse, strong threads, the shopping bags are environmentally friendly and reusable. This offers a much better alternative than its competitor - the reusable plastic bag!

They take just 10 seconds to make... just slide out the card and re-insert it with print. Peel off adhesive strip or leave unsealed for ease of change. 

These have been designed with quality in mind. They feature ergonomic handles, a waterproof lining, and the photo area has a protective cover that keeps the insert safe and secure. Your customers will be delighted to make and design their own bag, so why not offer them as a selection in your range, and also advertise with a range of options to inspire them.

Benefits of Reusable Bags

Using reusable bags instead of disposable ones has several environmental, economic, and social benefits. Let’s dive into some of the key advantages:

1. Reduced Plastic Pollution: Disposable plastic bags contribute significantly to environmental pollution. They take hundreds of years to decompose, and many end up in oceans and waterways, harming marine life. Reusable bags help reduce the demand for single-use plastics, minimising their environmental impact.
2. Conservation of Resources: The production of plastic bags requires the extraction of petroleum and other natural resources. Using reusable bags helps conserve these resources and reduce the environmental impact of extracting and processing raw materials.
3. Long-Term Cost Savings: While a reusable bag may have a higher upfront cost than single-use plastic bags, they are designed for multiple uses. Over time, the investment in reusable bags pays off, as they can withstand numerous shopping trips before needing replacement.
4. Promotion of Sustainability: Using reusable bags promotes a sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle. It raises awareness, reminds people about disposable items' environmental impact, and encourages individuals to make more environmentally conscious choices.
5. Support for Local Economies: Many reusable bags, like ours, are produced locally. Choosing these bags supports local economies and encourages the growth of environmentally responsible industries.
6. Customisation and Fashion: Reusable bags come in a variety of designs, colours, and materials, allowing individuals to express their personal style while being environmentally conscious. 
7. Durability: Reusable bags are generally more durable than disposable ones, reducing the likelihood of spills or breakage. This can be useful when carrying heavy or bulky items, as losing your groceries to the floor is nothing short of a tragedy. 

What is the best material for reusable shopping bags?

Jute stands out as an excellent material for reusable shopping bags, combining both environmental sustainability and durability. As a natural fibre, similar to burlap or hessian, jute is biodegradable and has a lower environmental impact than conventional materials, including cotton. Its cultivation requires less water and fewer pesticides, making it a more eco-friendly choice. Jute bags are known for their robustness and strength, making them suitable for carrying heavy loads and withstanding regular use. The coarser texture of jute also adds charm and gives the bags a rustic, natural aesthetic. 

Which type of shopping bag is the most environmentally friendly?

The most environmentally friendly shopping bags are those made from natural and renewable materials. Options like jute, cotton, hemp, and bamboo bags are biodegradable, require fewer pesticides and water during production, and offer durability for multiple uses. 

Are reusable bags really better than plastic bags?

This can be a contentious issue. If you only use a jute bag once, a plastic bag is the better choice. But if you reuse the bag as it’s meant to be used, reusable bags are far better. Not only is the manufacturing process better for the environment, but less goes into landfills, too.

How do you store reusable shopping bags neatly?

There are a couple of options for storing our lightweight jute bags. They can be folded or rolled into a compact size and then stored in a designated area, like a drawer. You can also keep a few in your car, tucked into the door or cabby. You can also utilise organisers, dispensers, or hooks to keep bags accessible and visible, encouraging regular use. Hanging bags on hooks or placing them in a basket or bin can also help maintain an organised space while allowing you to regularly review and remove damaged or worn-out bags. This will ensure a functional and clutter-free collection.

Are the bags strong and thick enough to reuse?

Yes,  jute bags are known for their strength and durability, making them ideal for reuse. Jute, a natural fibre derived from the white jute plant, is renowned for its robust, coarse texture. Bags made from jute are generally thick and strong, capable of withstanding heavy loads and regular use. 

How are jute bags environmentally friendly?

The durability of jute bags makes them well-suited for multiple shopping trips, reducing the need for single-use plastic bags. Additionally, jute is a renewable resource that requires minimal pesticides and water during cultivation. When cared for properly, jute bags can have a long and useful life, making them a great sustainable choice for those looking to reduce their environmental impact!
