Juco is a carefully-crafted mix of jute and cotton, taking the best bits of both materials helping to create the perfect canvas for your branding. Juco bags offer all the durability of jute with a mix of cotton to give the bag a premium feel. With a tighter weave, the fabric lends itself to finer artwork and high-end brands. The juco material can also be mixed with jute sides to keep the rustic feel of the jute with a smooth, polished front and back. We hold a wide range of juco bags in stock with a selection of colours available. We can also create bespoke bags either using purely juco or with a touch of jute. A premium product such as juco helps to reflect the quality of your brand.
