Polyfabric™ is short for "Polypropylene Fabrication". It is unique in that it has the look and feel of cloth, but is a lot less expensive to produce. As a basis of comparison, the standard, widely available plastic bag is made from polyethylene.
Polyfabric™ has several benefits:
• DURABLE: Polyfabric™ is incredibly strong. This almost eliminates rips and tears that render lesser bags useless after a short while. In fact, even if cut, Polyfabric™ will not fray like a woven bag will.
• WATER RESISTANT: Unlike polyethylene, Polyfabric™ does not absorb humidity, which allows it to maintain its shape in all weather conditions. Paper bags, of course, don't deal with moisture very well, tending to rip if wet.
• HEAT RESISTANT: Polyfabric™ has a significantly higher melting point than polyethylene (160 degrees vs. 100 degrees Celsius). This significantly extends the life span of the material, as heat does not degrade it to anywhere the same extent.
• CHILD SAFE: Polyfabric™ bags are safe to have around small children. The fabric is breathable so it is impossible for them to suffocate if they put one of our bags around their heads.
• NON-ALLERGENIC: Our fabric does not provoke an allergic response in sensitive people. Even natural fabrics like cotton cannot make this claim.
• ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY: Polyfabric™ bags are designed to be indefinitely re-usable. Standard polyethylene bags are typically one-use only, after which they take up space in a landfill. Paper bags, of course, require a tree to make the ultimate sacrifice, plus they use bleaches and other industrial chemicals in their manufacture.
• COST EFFECTIVE: In essence, Polyfabric™ bags give you the durability and attractiveness of a fabric bag at the same approximate cost of a high-end plastic or paper bag.
