rPET Bags

Tote bags make up the core of the rPET range: flat totes, felt construction totes with gussets for extra volume, foldable styles that compress for storage, and full colour print versions with branding on both sides. Beyond the tote, the range extends across backpacks, backsacks, and sling bags for body carry; sports bags for gym and active briefs; cooler bags for outdoor events and food-related gifting; toiletry bags for travel and hotel amenity use; and waist bags for festival and outdoor carry. All styles are made from rPET polyester, a fabric produced from post-consumer recycled plastic bottles. A typical tote diverts the equivalent of three to five bottles from landfill, a genuine and verifiable sustainability claim rather than a marketing label.

For a business communicating environmental values, a branded rPET bag is a stronger signal than a printed tagline or a policy statement on the website. The bag is the argument: made from bottles that would otherwise have gone to landfill, carried publicly every day, and read by everyone around the person holding it as a direct endorsement of the brand on it.

All styles can be branded. Screen printing suits solid logos on flat panels. Full colour digital print, sublimation, and full colour digital transfers suit detailed artwork and broader surface coverage across different bag constructions.

Questions Worth Asking

How do I choose the right rPET bag style for my brief?

Tote bags suit the broadest range of briefs, while sports bags, backsacks, and sling bags suit active or outdoor occasions. For travel gifting a toiletry bag is the right format, and cooler bags suit food brands where temperature-controlled carry matters.

Can rPET bags be sublimated across the full surface?

Sublimation on rPET fabric gives edge-to-edge colour coverage and vivid, photographic results because the dye bonds directly with the polyester fibre. It suits briefs where the artwork is detailed or full-bleed, and not all styles support it, so confirming at the brief stage is worth doing.

What sustainability claim can I make when ordering rPET bags?

rPET bags use post-consumer recycled plastic reprocessed into polyester fibre, with a typical tote using approximately three to five bottles. This claim is specific and verifiable, which makes it more credible in corporate sustainability reporting than broad eco-friendly language.

What is the minimum order for rPET bags?

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