Going green is not a new buzz. It has been around for quite some time now. Though the green trends haven’t really caught up on a mass level there are a few concerned, who have taken an initiative and are optimistic that it will make a change. And amongst these few, fortunately, are some of the leading organizations of the world. Individuals and organizations have been trying to do a little for the ecosystem, in small, but extremely helpful ways, and one of these efforts is, saying NO to plastic bags. Ecologically sensitive entrepreneurs and nature lovers are trying to put handmade paper in the mainstream of lifestyles, presenting a line of paper bags and other paper products which are as attractive as they are utilitarian and eco-friendly.
Tailor made to cater to different carrying needs, Paper Bags have also been instrumental in lending the brands a distinct and positive image of being a socially aware and responsible entity in their local universe, or may be, even beyond. To name a few, Mc Donald’s, Woodland, Reebok, Allen Cooper, Nokia, and many more.As a subliminal advertising tool, paper bags carry a twin message across cities, towns and countries-
1. The brand: name & image, and
2. A reminder: To be eco-friendly.
Paper bags can be either handmade or machine made. 100% biodegradable, acid free, these bags can carry weight up to 5 kgs, and come in a range of sizes, styles, colors and prints.
Though the paper bags offered by stores and retail outlets are plain bags, with company logo or brand name, there is a huge range of rich designs and attractive color schemes, crafted using plant fiber, vegetable fiber, coir, nest remains, etc. Therefore they are not just eco friendly and acid free but also tree-free, at times. These pieces of excellent craftsmanship, are startlingly, fabricated into stylish artistic charmers, out of matters like, banana, coconut fiber, cotton rags, hemp, flax, cereals, agricultural residues, elephant dung, jute, mango, organic waste, seaweed, silk, bird nest remains and much more.
Their chic and distinctive look; soft, pastel shades and crunched up appearance are responsible for theirwide acceptance,preference and appreciation. They can be used as wine bags, gift bags, and as shopping or carry bags. Available in various styles and prints they are making a fashion statement, wherever they go. They can be are printed, stitched, crinkled, corrugated, embossed, embroidered, textured or coired. They are the perfect gift wrap, and add to the delight of receiving and giving a present.
Apart from paper bags, there are other paper products in the market, like marriage cards, greeting cards, photo albums, folders, diaries, paper lampshades, lanterns, wall hangings, flowers, baskets, trays, accessories, paper carriers etc. that are just perfect to make a statement of your own. Distinct and responsibly social.
