WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF COTTON? • As a natural plant fibre it is biodegradable • It is a renewable resource • Cotton is a soft material and therefore foldable • It can be machine washed

TYPES OF FABRIC

Premium

JUCO

Increase your profits with our premium juco range. Made from a mixture of jute and cotton, juco was developed taking the best properties from both natural fibres.

Juco is a mix between jute and cotton, offering all the durability of the jute bag but the mix of cotton gives the bag a premium feel. Juco takes the best bits of both materials creating the perfect canvas for your branding. With a tighter weave the fabric lends itself to finer artwork and high-end brands. The juco material can also be mixed with jute sides to keep the rustic feel of the jute with a smooth, polished front and back. We have juco bags in stock in a range of colours or can create a bespoke bag either purely juco or with a touch of jute. Adding your

brand to a quality product will give your brand a quality feel. Our team of experts can suggest the best material for your design and brand.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF JUCO? • As a natural plant fibre it is biodegradable • It is a renewable resource • It is a very high quality and strong material • Provides a great printing canvas
