We at Jutexpo have worked with many local councils and authorities to design a bag to get a message out to their various constituents. The reasons that the councils want bags varies a great deal and here are a few examples.
York City Council
York started a ‘Waste Awareness Campaign’ and asked us to develop a range of 5 different style bags to promote this message
Manchester City Council
Manchester asked us to produce a bag with the Fairtrade logo on 1 side. This was used as part of a larger campaign to promote Manchester as a Fairtrade city.
Worcester County Council
Worcester have had a variety of bags from us over the past 4 years and used these for various reasons. The first bag was to generally promote re-cycling throughout the county. They then used the libraries as a means to getting a waste awareness campaign started. Worcester have also had many bags from us for some of the schools in the county.
Cheshire County Council
Cheshire started with a bag to promote a re-cycling message and used these at various events throughout the county. They then launched a very successful campaign through their libraries as the libraries had a means of charging for these bags. Although this was not intended for profit it did give them the opportunity to become price neutral and this campaign is still going strong.
