This is a good sign as non woven bag is environmental friendly as compare to paper bag. Paper bag is made with paper. We have to cut down the tree in order to make paper. But once the trees have been cut down, most people will not make any effort to re plant it. Except now the Europe there are some big retail shop start to use emphasize on this issue and require their paper bag supplier to used FSC paper to do their paper bag.
Since non woven bag is made from petrol, or we can call it mineral naturally given to us as human from our mother earth, it is a good thing.

It is like you print your own photo on your pair of jeans, you can image how nice is it. However the above mentioned dye-sublimation printing is pretty hard to do. We need to print it on a piece of paper first then we transfer it with heat on to the non woven bag surface. The most challenging part is the colour, it will be normally no as accurate as compare to normal paper bag off set printing. Some colour might also change slight during the process.
