- UAE ban on single-use plastic bags
Since 1 January 2024, single-use plastic shopping bags have been banned across the UAE, biodegradable plastic ones included. Dubai went further on 1 June 2024 and extended its ban to all single-use bags. Reusable bags are now what shops, events and offices hand out, and a printed tote is one of the few giveaways people keep carrying long after the day.
This guide compares the main eco-friendly bag materials (jute, juco, cotton, canvas, recycled cotton, non-woven and recycled polyester) and the logo printing that suits each one. Every bag shows its live price per unit in AED, with a minimum order of 25 pieces, bulk pricing on request and a free mockup within 4 hours.
Events and exhibitions
The lowest cost per bag. Cotton and non-woven totes to fill with brochures and giveaways for every visitor.
Shops and retail
Replace plastic bags. Jute, cotton and canvas shopping bags that customers reuse with your brand on them.
Corporate gifts
A bag that is part of the gift. Juco, canvas and jute gift and bottle bags for clients and staff.

| Non-woven | Bonded synthetic fibres, not woven; many colours | Screen printing | Exhibitions and mass giveaways | Lowest |

How to choose
- Lowest cost for a big event: non-woven or plain cotton.
- Most natural look: unlaminated jute.
- Best surface for a detailed or full-colour logo: cotton or canvas.
- Premium gift: canvas, juco or laminated jute with padded handles.
Jute bags: natural, sturdy and reusable
Jute is a natural plant fibre woven into a coarse, strong fabric with a rustic look. Our jute bags use a 13×13 weave and come in two finishes:
- Unlaminated jute is natural fibre with soft cotton handles. It is the most natural-looking option and the lowest-cost jute tote.
- Laminated jute has a thin inner coating that makes the bag stiffer, spill-resistant and easy to clean. Our premium laminated totes have padded handles.
Choose vertical or horizontal shopping bags for retail, and slim gift bags or bottle bags when the bag is the gift wrap.

Juco bags: the jute and cotton blend
Juco blends jute with cotton, often about 75% jute and 25% cotton, although the mix varies by maker. It keeps the natural jute look but is softer to the touch, more comfortable to carry and gives your logo a smoother surface to print on. Our jute and canvas bags pair a jute body with smooth canvas trims, and some come with a zip.

Cotton and canvas tote bags
Cotton totes are light, soft and fold small. Canvas is a heavier, tightly woven cotton fabric for bags that need to hold their shape and carry more. Fabric weight is given in GSM (grams per square metre): the higher the number, the heavier and sturdier the fabric. Our cotton bags run from a light 105 GSM shopping bag that carries up to 7 kg to a 300 GSM recycled cotton tote with a gusset.
Recycled cotton and GRS. Recycled cotton is made from reclaimed cotton fibre. The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) is a voluntary, third-party certification owned by Textile Exchange. It verifies recycled content through the supply chain. Look for "GRS-certified" in the product details.

Non-woven, sublimation and RPET bags for events
When every visitor at an exhibition or conference gets a bag, non-woven bags are the lowest-cost choice. They are light, come in many colours and take a screen-printed logo well. Non-woven fabric is made from bonded synthetic fibres, so it is reusable but not plastic-free. If your event is plastic-free, choose cotton.
Sublimation totes are made for full-colour, edge-to-edge photo prints. RPET bags are made from recycled polyester.

Tote bag printing: which method for which bag
| Method | Works on | Best for | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Screen printing | Jute, juco, cotton, canvas, non-woven | Logos in one or two solid colours | The lowest cost per bag on large runs; each colour needs its own screen |
| Heat transfer (DTF) | Cotton, canvas, juco, jute | Full-colour logos, gradients and fine detail | No limit on colours, and good for smaller runs |
| Sublimation | Polyester sublimation totes | Full-colour photos and all-over prints | Works only on polyester or polyester-coated fabric |
| Embroidery | Canvas and heavier cotton | Premium, long-lasting logos | The most durable finish; not suited to thin fabrics |

The UAE plastic bag ban: what it means for businesses
If you hand bags to customers, visitors or staff, reusable bags are now the default. A branded reusable bag replaces the one you can no longer give out, and it shows your logo every time it is carried again. The rules list exemptions and each emirate can add its own, so check the official guidance for your business.

Eco-friendly bag questions
Jute is a natural plant fibre with a coarse, rustic texture. Juco blends jute with cotton, often about 75% jute and 25% cotton, so it looks natural but feels softer and smoother, and gives a smoother surface for printing.
No. Natural jute is not waterproof. Laminated jute bags have a thin inner coating that makes them spill-resistant and easy to clean.
It depends on how often the bag is used. Jute and cotton are natural fibres, recycled cotton and RPET reuse existing material, and non-woven is a reusable synthetic. Choose a bag people will want to keep using.
Yes. Heat transfer (DTF) handles full-colour logos and fine detail on jute. Screen printing suits bold one- or two-colour logos, especially on large orders.
GSM means grams per square metre, the weight of the fabric. A higher GSM means a heavier, sturdier bag. Our cotton bags range from 105 GSM to 300 GSM.
