How Our RPET Bag Helped a LeadingCzech Online Grocery Company—and Why Europe Needs More Sustainable Packaging

In recent years, Europe has experienced a major shifttoward sustainability, carbon reduction, and circular production. Businesses
across the continent—from small retailers to major online delivery
platforms—are searching for durable, eco-friendly, and affordable packaging
solutions. As a manufacturer specializing in 100% recycled RPET shoppingbags, our mission has always been to help brands reduce plastic waste whileimproving the customer experience.

One of our proudest success stories comes frompartnering with ROHLIK, one of the fastest-growing and most innovativeonline grocery delivery companies in the Czech Republic. This collaboration not
only proved the quality and strength of our RPET bags, but also opened the door
for a broader expansion into grocery chains, e-commerce delivery platforms, and
supermarket checkout bag programs across Europe.

A Sustainability-Driven Client:ROHLIK’s Search for a Better Bag

ROHLIK has built a reputation for fast delivery,premium groceries, and user-friendly online ordering. At the same time, the
company is deeply committed to environmental responsibility. As their delivery
volume increased, ROHLIK needed a stronger, greener, and more visuallyappealing bag solution—something that could reduce dependence on virginplastics while fitting their operational workflow.

They wanted a bag that was:

100% recycled

  • Visually premium, suitable for a modern digital-first brand

Strong enough to carry at least 9 kg without tearing

  • Comfortable for delivery employees to handle
  • Mass-production friendly for consistency and stable supply

Suitable for re-use by customers, extending the bag’s lifecycle

After evaluating several suppliers, ROHLIK chose us forour experience in RPET fabric production, digital and sublimation printing,customized structural design, and automated sewing capability. Mostimportantly, we offered a complete one-stop production line—from recycling
materials to final packaging.

Delivering a Customized RPET Bag WithUnique Kraft-Paper Texture

Instead of producing a standard RPET non-woven bag, weproposed a more premium and European-style concept: an RPET bag featuring akraft-paper texture. The look is natural, clean, and gives customers animpression of organic sustainability while still being made entirely from
recycled plastic bottles.

Key Features of the ROHLIK RPET Bag:

Material: 100% RPET non-woven, sourced from recycled PET bottles

Printing: High-resolution sublimation printing to create a kraft-paper appearance

Strength: Reinforced stitching and fully automated edge binding

Load Capacity: Tested to hold 9 kg repeatedly without any stress or tearing

Design: Ergonomic handles for comfort during delivery

This design matched perfectly with ROHLIK’s brandingneeds—modern, eco-friendly, and reliable. It also aligned with their
sustainability commitment, giving them a packaging solution they could proudly
share with customers.

Real-World Performance: 9 KG Load TestWith Zero Pressure

To ensure the bag was strong enough for daily deliveryoperations, ROHLIK conducted their own stress tests. Delivery staff loaded the
bag with 9 kilograms of groceries—bottled beverages, canned goods, andpacked foods—and carried it across shelves and storage areas, simulating real
work conditions.

The results were exceptional:

The bag held 9 kg with no tearing, no handle stretching, and no structural damage.

Staff noted that the bag was comfortable to grip, stable, and easy to stack.

The kraft-texture print gave the impression of natural packaging, even though it was recycled material.

  • This test reinforced what we already knew—RPET isone of the strongest and most sustainable alternatives to single-use plastics
    for modern European retail and delivery businesses.

Why RPET Bags Are the Future ofEurope’s Grocery and Online Delivery Market
