Learn step by step how old advertising banners, trade fair materials and tarpaulins are turned into high-quality upcycled bags - sustainable, customised and produced in Europe.
The journey from discarded banner to customised upcycling bag
Advertising banners often only accompany trade fairs, events, festivals or large advertising campaigns for a short time. After their use, many of these materials end up as waste - even though they are actually robust, durable and of high quality.
This is exactly where the upcycling process at recyclingbags.de begins.
Used advertising banners, construction fence banners or trade fair materials are turned into individual, unique bags with character. Each bag tells its own story and at the same time becomes a long-lasting advertising medium with sustainable added value.
But how exactly does this process work?
In this article, we show you step by step how to turn old banners into high-quality upcycled bags - from banner to bag - in 10 steps:
- Your outdoor advertising
- Hanging up the advertising poster
- Transport to Pro Factory
- Selecting the bag model
- Design of the branding
- Cutting your material to size
- Cleaning the blanks
- Sewing your favourite model
- Delivery logistics
- Upcycling unique bags
Every project starts with the source material. Many of our customers provide their own advertising banners, construction fence banners or trade fair materials. Other projects are based on existing materials from previous campaigns or events.
Not every material is automatically suitable for every type of bag. That's why we first test all materials for processability. This material testing in particular is an important part of professional upcycling production.
Before old banners can be turned into new bags, the materials must be carefully cleaned and prepared. We remove dirt, dust and residue as well as fastening elements and damaged areas. This step is crucial to the subsequent quality of the end product. After all, high-quality upcycled bags should not only be sustainable, but also durable and professionally finished.
The creative part of the process lies in the selected cutting of the bag models: as each banner has different colours, motifs or print elements, we plan exactly which areas should be visible later during the cutting process. This creates the individual character of each individual bag.
The result is unique bags that do not look like classic promotional items, but rather like individual design and lifestyle products.
Experience is particularly important for upcycling products. No two banners are the same. Different material properties require flexible processing and technical expertise.
Thanks to our many years of experience in the production of upcycled bags, we can process materials in a targeted manner and achieve high-quality results.
From banner to bag - we accompany you in the development process towards your eye-catchers with a unique character, the accessories with a history.
