Shopping Bags in UAE

Shopping Bags

Shopping bags are mid-sized bags that are used to carry the items purchased at a store. While most of these bags are mid-sized, larger sizes exist to carry more or larger items. Shopping bags can be single use (for one-time use) or reusable. They can also be put to use in other ways, such as for storage, can liners, and so on. There are many types of shopping bags, with some unique designs and types specific to a country, place or brand. Though plastic bags are free and common in supermarts, grocery stores and at vendor stores and stalls, they are starting to lose their repute in most countries. This is mainly due to the steps taken by national bodies to reduce the use of plastic.

Today, reusable shopping bags are more used and more in vogue than one-time use plastic shopping bags. The reusable type of bags are made with fabric like jute cloth, also known as burlap. In some cases these reusable bags may also be made out of plastic but are stronger and better that single use bags. In some countries, like the US, reusable bags are used to make a fashion statement or to promote a brand name and its image. Plastic and paper shopping bags are common and often free with the purchase of items at most grocery stores. However, most store encourage customers to use reusable shopping bags.

Custom and stylish shopping bags and baskets can also be purchased from companies that design and make bags. Most shopping bag manufacturers make all kinds of shopping bags in large quantities for the chain stores, brands and super markets in the region. Murshid Bazar in Deira Dubai, SAIF Zone in Sharjah and Ziyani Area in Abu Dhabi are a few places to get in touch with notable suppliers of shopping bags in UAE.
