We just love living up to our nickname of a branding geek & have literally got bags of merchandise! Inspired by the fact that shopping like it or not is a big part of the Christmas festive season, did you know American and European patent applications relating to the production of plastic shopping bags can be found dating back to the early 1950s, but these refer to composite construction with handles fixed to the bag in a secondary manufacturing process.
The modern lightweight shopping bag is the invention of Swedish engineer Sten Gustaf Thulin. In the early 1960s, branded bags have come a long way since then with literally 1000’s of variations from a simple shopper to an executive leather laptop bag. Since the introduction of the 5p bag tax it would seem that bags for life and trendy cotton shoppers are the way forward when it comes to making a positive environmental impact which we all have a responsibility to take very seriously.
