Polypropylene Non-Woven: Trending Materials

Everyone loves reusable shopping bags for their strength, durability, and versatility. One reusable material called pp non-woven or polypropylene non-woven has become common in the packaging industry. Pp non-woven fabric (PPNW) is defined as flat porous sheets that are directly made from fibers or plastic film. This type of material can be mechanically bonded together to create a resilient cut of fabric.

This synthetic material mimics the texture, strength and appearance of woven fabrics, without it actually being knitted or woven together.  When creating your reusable shopping bag, an assortment of different construction options are available ranging from large sized tote bags to smaller die cut handle shoppers. All of these construction options are affordable and have tariff free options for your brand.

However, you don’t have to be limited to just reusable shopping bags with pp non-woven. Garment bags, gift card holders, and pouches can also be created from this multipurpose material.

Many brands and companies tend to gravitate towards polypropylene non-woven because it is affordable to produce, flexible, and is especially easily customizable to fit your target audience. Pp non-woven can be constructed in any color, embossed, custom printed and laminated with a matte or gloss finish.

In addition to custom treatments, adding some unique embellishments to your packaging items is also important. Zipper closures, and grommets are a few extras that can be incorporated to add to your ideal packaging piece. These embellishments can also give your item a unique twist along with custom handles. Handles as simple as die cuts and single shoulder straps can easily put the finishing touches onto your packaging item.

With all of these customizations to choose from, polypropylene non-woven (ppnw) can be altered in countless ways to make your reusable packaging reflective of your brand.
