Non woven bags have become the practical choice for brands across the UAE. They are strong, light, reusable, and easy to brand with clear, vibrant prints. In Dubai’s fast moving retail and hospitality scene, these bags help businesses cut single use waste while keeping a polished look at the counter and on the go. This post outlines how custom non woven bags can match your brand style, your sustainability goals, and your budget.
What makes non woven bags different
Materials and build
Non woven bags are made from polypropylene fibers that are bonded rather than woven. The result is a smooth fabric with consistent thickness, often measured in GSM. It holds shape well, resists tearing, and survives daily use without fraying. Handles can be heat sealed or stitched, and seams are reinforced for heavier loads.
Everyday durability
The fabric stands up to dust, sun, and the stop start rhythm of city life. It stays neat in delivery vans, at trade shows, and in boutique retail. Wipe cleaning is simple, so the bag keeps its look through repeated use.
A cleaner footprint
Compared to paper and many single use plastics, non woven bags are used many times before the end of life. Reuse is the key driver of impact reduction. When you choose a suitable GSM and make the bag easy to keep, customers are more likely to carry it again and again.
Custom options that fit your brand
Shapes, sizes, and features
You can specify compact gift sizes, wide gussets for grocery, or tall bags for fashion boxes. Add zipper or button closures, inside pockets, and base boards that help the bag stand upright. Handle choices include die cut, loop, and over shoulder lengths.
Finishes and colors
Non woven fabric accepts solid brand colors with good coverage. Matte or slight sheen finishes are both possible. Edge binding, contrast handles, and custom tags create a tailored look that feels premium without pushing costs too high.
Printing and artwork
Single color logos or full coverage graphics both work well on this fabric. Spot color screen printing is ideal for bold logos. For complex gradients or photos, heat transfer printing gives crisp results that wear well.
Quick print tips
- Keep line work clean for small sizes
- Choose high contrast art on dark fabrics
- Place key details above the fold and away from seams
- Request a pre production proof to lock colors and placement
Built for UAE retail, hospitality, and events
Retail and fashion
Boutiques in Dubai look for bags that match seasonal palettes and gift campaigns. A well sized gusset helps clothing and shoe boxes fit flat, which improves customer experience at pickup and valet.
Food and beverage
Cafes, bakeries, and specialty grocers rely on sturdy handles and wipe clean fabric for daily takeaway. Clear branding on both sides turns every walk to the car into moving visibility for your store.
Hotels and events
Turn down gifts, conference packs, and spa retail benefit from bags that fold flat yet feel substantial in hand. A tidy print with the right GSM helps the bag survive the full event schedule.
Choosing the right GSM
Light to medium GSM
Good for gift packs, brochures, and light retail. The bag feels soft, folds easily, and keeps costs lean.
Medium to heavy GSM
Best for groceries, shoe boxes, and bulkier items. The fabric stands upright, keeps shape, and adds confidence at checkout.
Specialty builds
Add base boards, side gussets, or boxy structures when you need the bag to stand tall on display tables or at trade shows.
Design that customers keep
Make it worth a second use
Bags with comfortable handles and a balanced shape see more reuse. A minimal graphic with a small logo can feel stylish enough to carry beyond the store.
Practical styling
Neutral colors with a crisp logo work for corporate gifting. Bold seasonal colors help limited campaigns stand out in malls and pop ups.
Ordering and timelines
How to brief your order
Share your size, GSM, handle style, color, and print method. Include the number of colors in the logo and the quantity you plan to order. If the bag must fit a box, give the internal dimensions so the gusset and height are set correctly.

Lead times and delivery
Production windows depend on quantity, colors, and special finishes. For Dubai based launches and events, plan enough time for sampling, sign off, and staged deliveries. Larger regional drops across the UAE are scheduled to match your rollout.
Cost and value
What drives price
GSM, bag size, number of print colors, and add ons like zippers or base boards set the cost. Larger orders reduce unit pricing and help you standardize packaging across locations.
Why brands in Dubai choose this route
The bag becomes a quiet brand touchpoint long after the first purchase. Reuse generates impressions on the street, in car boots, and at the office. That repeat visibility is often worth more than the small cost difference to step up GSM or add a neat print.
Sustainability in practice
Reuse first
Encourage customers to keep the bag by making it comfortable, tidy, and attractive. A simple care note printed inside the handle area helps. Clear messaging at the counter also increases return use.
Responsible disposal
When a bag reaches end of life, local recycling options vary by emirate. Many clients run back to store programs during campaigns to collect worn bags and replace them with new ones.
FAQs
Are non woven bags suitable for heavy products
Yes, with the right GSM and reinforced handles. For bulky or dense items, a base board and stitched handles improve load performance.
Can I match brand Pantone colors
Most brand colors can be matched within production tolerances. A physical swatch or printed proof helps align expectations before bulk printing.
What is the best print method for fine detail
Heat transfer printing is preferred for gradients, photography, and small type. Screen printing is efficient for bold logos and solid fills.
How do I choose between die cut and loop handles
Die cut handles look sleek and pack flat. Loop handles are more comfortable for heavier loads or longer walks.
