stretch bags are die cut from 100% recycled billboards, transforming colorful advertising campaigns
into a clever bag. the design is drawn from the strength and symmetry of patterns found in nature
and has the ability to hold up to 75lbs. the 2-D design lies flat but then stretches into a
3-D structure when in use – a large bag with the smallest amount of waste. the solution is a bag
developed without needing, stitching, gluing or folding.”
