The fabric packaging sector is continuously growing and evolving. Every year, more companies choose to move away from single-use packaging in favor of a greener packaging that offers great brand visibility thanks to extensive customization options.
Fabric bags can be customized with logo or slogan prints or embroidery, with a wide choice of fabrics—satin, cotton, linen, hemp—and many decorative elements such as ribbons, cords, and zippers.
Thanks to ongoing technological development, it is now possible to work with every type of fabric to create many different shapes for packaging that looks good, is durable, and fits specific needs: for supermarket shopping, retail shopping, or storing and carrying objects.
Beyond these common uses, there are many unexpected special uses, some truly very unusual!
Over the years, we have received many requests. Here are some examples of the most "curious" bags we have made for our clients.
1. Bag for bresaola and BBQ
Some particularly absorbent and breathable fabrics can be used to hold food items such as cold cuts, meat for grilling, spices, legumes, cereals, and bread.
For example, this burlap bag for packaged specialty products can be made to measure to contain food products such as bresaola, cheese, or bread. The jute fiber is untreated, making it a 100% natural fabric.
2. Bags for video games and playing cards
Fabric bags can also hold video games, playing cards, and role-playing games because they are compact and can easily be carried, containing and protecting their contents.
These items are considered valuable collectibles, and their packaging plays a significant role in adding value. From this perspective, fabric bags for playing cards are very practical because they protect these valuable packages from scratches, impacts, and dust. You can also store decks and role-playing game characters inside and close the bag with the drawstring to avoid losing any essential element for gameplay.
3. Bags for tarot cards
Indeed, bags for tarot cards do exist and can hold jewelry, crystals, runes, pendulums, card decks. The most suitable fabric for this use is velvet—but also silk or cotton—in dark colors such as purple, black, or blue, with silver or gold decorations. These bags come in various shapes and sizes and can serve both as liners inside tarot card packages to protect them from dust, moisture, and scratches, and as primary containers for cards and crystals. For example, consider this natural cotton bag for small items:
A curiosity: speaking of unusual bags, some clients have asked whether bags for sex toys also exist. We confirm, yes, they do!
4. Bags for organic soaps also usable as shower mitts
Fabric packaging can serve as a convenient container for storing and hanging soaps used in the shower. Organic soaps and cosmetics often tend to crumble with use. Containing them in a bag like this pure hemp bag for soaps solves this problem.
It serves three functions:
- You can insert detached pieces of soap into the pocket to reuse them
- You can use it as a shower mitt and scrubber: simply place the soap pieces inside the pocket, wet the bag, and rub it on your skin until the fibers produce a soft foam
- It can be hung in the shower thanks to the loop: the fabric absorbs water and moisture, protecting the soap
A truly curious bag with a special use, but also a safe packaging solution because hemp fabric is ecological and natural and gentle on the skin.
5. Bags for fans
The fan is a classic, still popular among ladies with refined tastes to cool off on hot days, although today it is mainly used as a favour or promotional giveaway.
Fans have very refined and particular details, and so the bag must reflect the same style. For this item, the most suitable fabrics can be organza or silk, which add elegance to the packaging; cotton, which remains a classic; or hemp, to give the bag a fresh and natural look.
6. Fabric bags for Epiphany period
Bags shaped like a Befana stocking: a classic during the Christmas period.
At Epiphany, many people choose to package gifts in bags shaped like Befana stockings. In this case, the bag is a burlap stocking shape with a red tie closure: a durable and simple packaging, much appreciated especially by children, who can reuse the stocking bag every year while waiting for Befana to fill it with sweets.
