Felt and Tyvek bag formats
Direct Eco Green offers two families of reusable bags with very different personalities: soft, structured felt, and paper-like, ultra-light Tyvek. Both are made for repeated use rather than one trip, and both carry a logo well.
- Felt tote bag — a sturdy tote that keeps its shape without extra reinforcement, does not fray, and has two identical faces, so it can be used either way out.
- Tyvek tote bag — light, tear-resistant and paper-textured, a distinctive promotional or retail bag.
- Tyvek backpack and Tyvek briefcase with zipper and shoulder strap.
- Tyvek makeup bag and Tyvek toiletry bag, both with zippers.
- Tyvek drawstring pouch for gifts, samples and accessories.

Materials, durability and end of life
Felt is a dense non-woven textile; felt grades made from recycled textile fibers are available, and the recycled content of your reference is documented in the quote. It is strong enough to carry heavy loads and its reuse value is the main environmental argument.
Tyvek is a non-woven material that combines qualities of paper, plastic and fabric: it feels and looks like paper, but resists tearing, is very light and lets air through. Because it is single-layer, Tyvek bags stay thin and fold small.
- Tyvek is recyclable only where programs accept it; check locally before printing a recyclable claim.
- Zippers, straps and drawstrings should be removed before any material recovery.
- Avoid unqualified "eco-friendly" or "100% recycled" wording unless the specific claim is documented.
Bag rules and environmental claims in the US and Canada
For reusable bags, the key compliance points are how bags are classified under checkout-bag rules and how claims are worded. In the US, state and municipal checkout-bag rules vary in how they treat reusable bags; check the rules where the bags will be handed out. In Canada, the Single-use Plastics Prohibition Regulations ban plastic checkout bags, and their definition also covers some fabric bags made from plastic, so confirm how your design is classified before using it as a checkout bag. Under the FTC Green Guides, recycled-content and recyclable claims must be substantiated, and California SB 343 applies to any "recyclable" claim or chasing-arrows symbol.
Custom printing and private label
Direct Eco Green customizes felt and Tyvek bags in color and size and adds your logo, text and images. Tyvek can also be embossed, perforated and glued, which opens up design details that printed fabric cannot offer. Complete your range with rPET recycled bags or jute bags. Samples are produced before mass production.
