What is the MOQ for custom non-woven shopping bags?
HexusBag's MOQ for custom non-woven bags is 500 pieces per design. Non-woven is our highest-volume category — orders of 10,000-100,000 pieces are common for retailers, supermarkets and promotional campaigns, with significant price breaks at each tier.
What GSM (weight) options does HexusBag offer for non-woven bags?
HexusBag produces non-woven bags in 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 120 and 150 GSM. The 80-100 GSM range is the industry standard for reusable shopping bags. 60-70 GSM suits low-cost giveaways; 120-150 GSM is used for premium retail bags requiring extra durability and structure.
Are non-woven bags recyclable and eco-friendly?
Yes. HexusBag's standard polypropylene (PP) non-woven bags are 100% recyclable under resin code #5. They are reusable for 50-100 trips, replacing roughly the same number of single-use plastic bags. For higher sustainability claims, we also produce RPET non-woven from recycled bottles.
What printing methods are available for non-woven bags?
HexusBag offers silk-screen printing (1-6 colors, most common and economical), heat transfer printing (full-color photo prints, ideal for short runs), and gravure printing on laminated non-woven (for premium full-coverage designs). Choice depends on color count, image complexity and quantity.
Can non-woven bags be laminated for a glossy or matte finish?
Yes. HexusBag offers glossy lamination, matte lamination, and soft-touch lamination on non-woven bags. Lamination adds water resistance, improves print clarity for full-color artwork, and gives the bag a premium retail feel. It adds roughly USD 0.10-0.25 per bag.
How quickly can HexusBag deliver a non-woven bag order?
Standard production for non-woven bags is 12-20 days after sample approval. For repeat orders without artwork changes, this drops to 7-12 days. Combined with 25-35 days sea freight (or 5-7 days air freight), most US/EU clients receive bulk orders in 6-8 weeks total.
What is the difference between PP non-woven, RPET, and spunbond non-woven?
PP non-woven is virgin polypropylene — the most common, lowest cost, fully recyclable. RPET non-woven is made from recycled plastic bottles — same look and feel, higher sustainability story, ~20-30% higher cost. Spunbond is a manufacturing process: most PP non-woven is spunbond, giving the fabric its tear-resistant cross-pattern.
What are typical use cases for custom non-woven bags?
The most common uses are supermarket reusable shopping bags, trade show giveaways, conference bags, promotional event swag, retail packaging upgrades, hotel guest amenities, and election or charity campaign bags. HexusBag has produced these for clients in 50+ countries.
