This is now our third plastic bag project, and we're really seeing the potential that this material has. In previous videos we've used an iron to laminate bags together, and while this does work well, it's quite labour intensive for larger sheets. For this one, we've utilised our t-shirt press which works a treat - it's super consistent and is probably about ten times faster. The final result came together a lot nicer than we thought it would! The bag is so robust and can carry a load of stuff with no issue. And if it ever rips or gets a hole, it should be nice and easy to repair with an iron and a couple more bags. Lovely!
A big thank you to Kev for his help on this one, be sure to take a look at some of his work! 🏍
