Mini Review: Shutterfly's Printed Shopping Bags
Not so long ago, I reviewed Shutterfly's printed coffee mugs and waterbottles . At the time, I'd also ordered some of their shopping bags, but I didn't have time to write about them until recently. Part of the reason I held off was I wanted shots of the bags in action, and part of it was, I admit, just being busy.
I ordered 6 total bags with two designs, and they arrived neatly folded in a smallish orange Shutterfly cardstock envelope.
The print quality on these bags is good, with the image printed directly on the bag. It's not an iron on transfer or a sticker, nor does the print job seem likely to flake off.
The bags themselves are pretty standard shopper bags made out of nylon with reinforced seams. For the price ($14.99), I thought these bags would be made of a nicer fabric, and when I first opened the package, I was concerned that these bags would rip if they held heavy groceries.
I'm not 100% sure what this Velcro loop is for- it doesn't attach to both sides of the bag, so it's not to hold the bag shut or attach the bag to a bike. Any suggestions?
My lovely, if grumpy, assistant posing with two heavy-grocery laden shopping bags at Whole Foods (he's grumpy because I tricked him into holding the bags while I got a chai latte). These bags held the groceries with no problems- no strained seams, no tears, no deformed images. My fears were for nothing.
These bags are really nice, but they're expensive. You may want to wait until Shutterfly has a deal before ordering any. These make great reusable grocery bags, and are a nice, branded way to carry supplies to conventions.
