Here is a neat idea for you Ecopreneurist trying to break into the organic food or other industries where grocery chains play a part in your marketing plan.
LogoMark has come out with the KT6450 GRAZIE shopping bag with 18″ handles and plastic brackets designed to hang inside a standard shopping cart. Place the GRAZIE in your cart, place food in GRAZIE, check out and take the bag and your groceries with you.
The bags are made from 100gsm Non-Woven material, so they are designed to be reused again and again but are not biodegradable. There is a big front imprint area for your company logo and/or message.
Here is a short video. For more info visit logomark.com or write us at info@proformagreen.com
Adventures in Green Marketing 
I’ve used something like this for my grocery shopping. I bought them at Home Depot, but I’ve found that they fit other grocery store carriages too. Not only to they have a clippable top, they are also elasticized to better keep the items in the bag when they are in your trunk.
Seems like this would make shoplifting easier too. Many stores, like Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods, ask that people do not shop into their own bags and instead wait to load them up at the register.
I really like the re-useable bags , but they are so ugly.
I’d like a source to buy the clip on the cart pieces. Then I could make myself, family and friends bags that are pretty and we’d be proud to carry around. Nobody wants to be just like everyone else!!
I resell business items. just saw one of your reuseable bags – looks like a coin purse w/zipper but opens to a tote bag. Do you have samples available? dark blue, black and red preferably. Any other size? What is your pricing? 1,000, 2-, 3-, 4- 5,000? and email is above. My website is under construction. Thanks for your help. Elsie
