Stug Bags From Recycled Rubber Printing Blankets
Posted on July 22, 2008 by Doug Gunzelmann in Clothes+Accessories
“Promoting the waste=food principle” Stug Bags use reclaimed rubber to construct their multipurpose line. Rubber printing blankets are commonly found in the offset printing business where the rubber is a coating over a compressible substance and is used to transfer ink to the printing surface. Using this material Stug then manufactures a variety of bag types using natural felt lining. Each bag is unique with different ink characteristics left on the rubber surface from the last time they were used in the press. Stug currently produces 13”-15” laptop sleeves and use the minimum amount of packaging for sale display. Like our Vy and Elle vinyl billboard bags, it is always amazing to see how people find and use materials from inconspicuous sources.
