As we know, April is the month of rain showers and Spring-like weather. When shopping in less-than perfect climate, having waterproof rain covers for paper shopping bags are a necessity. Currently, this trend is popular around major cities as luxury retailers want to protect their shopping bags when customers exit the store.
Shopping bags like these also double as walking advertisements. As a result, companies would want their mobile billboards to have protection against any type of weather. Waterproof rain covers are like little ponchos that drape over the shopping bag to also keep your purchases safe from rain or snow. Some can even have side gussets to adjust to the size of the individual bag.
Waterproof Rain Covers
Waterproof rain covers are made from water resistant plastic. These covers will keep your purchases dry while shopping in inclement weather. Regardless of brand identity retailers feel that these waterproof rain covers are the perfect addition to any company’s accessory collection. Considering companies are designing paper shopping bags for reuse, customers would not want rain or snow to ruin the bag or the purchases it contains.
The covers themselves can come in many sizes to accommodate common size shopping bags. A convenient top opening lets the handles of the bag slide through, letting the customer carry the bag with ease. Considering waterproof rain covers are made from a durable plastic material, they can have a unique film to add some customization to the material.
HDPE or LDPE
Create your waterproof rain covers from either two types of plastic: HDPE or LDPE. The first of the two is High-Density Polyethylene. HDPE plastic is the thicker version of the two films, and is therefore, stronger. Many consider HDPE the more stylish alternative for waterproof rain covers. The film is more rigid and opaque than LDPE plastic and, as a result, is stronger. LDPE, or Low-Density Polyethylene on the other hand, has a thinner gauge than its HDPE alternative. Low Density Polyethylene is translucent and has a shiny appearance favored by many.
However, both HDPE and LDPE come with advantages when creating waterproof rain covers. They are inexpensive to manufacture and use, and they are exceedingly durable. Due to their durability, your customers can reuse their waterproof rain covers multiple times after purchase.
Customizing Your Covers
Whether you choose LDPE or HDPE plastics to create your rain covers, another customization option to think about is custom printing. The resilient plastic materials can have custom printing with your brand’s own logos and graphics. Print options ranging from repeat patterns to simple logos can embellish your rain covers, making them the perfect addition to any packaging collection.
Regardless of your brand’s identity, and target audience, companies feel waterproof rain covers are the perfect addition to any packaging collection. Paper shopping bags nowadays are designed for reuse, and some can even look like pieces of art. Having shopping bag rain covers are the perfect protective cover to keep them clean and dry to reuse again and again.
