ZG BAG
For event handouts distributed by the carton, shortlist non-woven PP and verify how many finished bags fit in each carton. If the tote is part of the gift, shortlist canvas and assess how the loaded bag feels in hand. Compare delivered cost at the same order quantity and decoration coverage.
Comparison
| Decision factor | Cotton canvas | Non-woven PP |
|---|---|---|
| How it feels | Woven cotton with a fabric hand and visible weave | Lightweight bonded polypropylene with a different surface and drape |
| Artwork | Proof the print on the selected weave, especially small lettering | Proof on the actual non-woven surface or laminate specified in the quote |
| Packing decision | Check packed carton volume for the chosen fabric weight and handles | Ask for the packed carton dimensions of the finished tote |
Run a giveaway packing trial
Ask for carton dimensions, packed weight and pieces per carton for each finished tote. Use those figures to compare total carton volume for the same order quantity. At the event table, time a short packing run with the actual handouts and check whether staff can open and fill the bags easily.
ZG BAG catalog examples
The canvas catalog example is 15 oz. The non-woven tote is listed at 80 GSM and 30 × 38 × 15 cm. These are two catalog designs, so their weights and dimensions should not be used as matched trial inputs.
- Custom Red 15oz Cotton Canvas Promotional Tote (SKU ZG20250702M3)
- Custom 80 GSM Non-Woven Grocery Tote, 30 x 38 x 15 cm (SKU ZG23051702)
Can I compare the fabric weights directly to predict shipping cost?
Use finished bag weight and actual packed carton dimensions. A fabric weight per unit area excludes handles, gussets and other parts.
