Why lorry tarpaulin is the best material for promotional bags
Lorry tarpaulin is a PVC-coated polyester fabric made for years on the road: tear-resistant, water-repellent, wipe-clean. Exactly what makes it the ideal bag material. And because every tarpaulin brings its own print and its own traces of use, no two pieces are alike.
Robust, because it was built to be
The fabric provides the tear resistance, the coating keeps water and dirt out. A tarpaulin bag can be wiped clean instead of washed and stays with its owner for years.
