Key features & specs

How it compares

Compared to standard paper welcome bags, these burlap totes are more durable and reusable, adding a tactile, rustic charm. They outlast thin kraft paper bags and offer a waterproof lining that prevents moisture damage, unlike basic jute sacks. While similarly priced to mid-range kraft sets, the CHENGU bags provide better long-term value for guests who can repurpose them as grocery or beach totes.

What to know before buying

1. Choose a fill weight under 3 pounds per bag to avoid handle strain; jute is strong but not suited for heavy glass items.
2. Pre-condition the burlap by airing out the bags for 24 hours; natural jute has a distinct earthy smell that fades quickly.
3. Personalize with iron-on labels or fabric markers; the burlap surface takes customization well without bleeding.
4. Consider pairing with tissue paper inserts (not included) to protect smaller welcome gifts like snacks or sachets.
5. Store in a dry, cool place before use; moisture can cause jute to weaken or discolor over time.

Sustainability & ethics

CHENGU sources jute, a fast-growing, biodegradable fiber, and uses FSC-certified paper for packaging inserts. The waterproof lining is a thin polyethylene film, which, while not compostable, extends the bag's lifespan significantly. Labor practices in the supply chain are not independently audited, but the product aligns with growing demand for natural, low-impact materials in the wedding industry.

Frequently asked questions

Are these burlap bags truly waterproof?

Yes, the inner polyethylene lining resists moisture, protecting contents from spills or damp surfaces, but they are not submersible.

Can I personalize these bags with logos or names?

Yes, the natural jute fabric accepts fabric paint, stamps, and iron-on transfers easily; test on a spare bag first to ensure ink adhesion.

How many wedding welcome bags do I need for 100 guests?

One 50-set pack covers half your guests; order two sets to have extras for welcome table displays and forgotten plus-ones.

Are these bags recyclable or compostable after use?

The jute exterior is compostable, but the waterproof lining must be removed for proper recycling. Many guests keep them as reusable totes.

Do the handles hold up with heavier items like water bottles?

The jute rope handles support up to 4-5 pounds, so a standard 16.9 oz water bottle and a few snacks are fine, but avoid glass bottles or heavy tins.
