Nowadays, Vietnam is in the period of integrating into world economy, as a part of globalization and is in transition from a planned economy to a market-oriented mixed economy. Vietnam is famous with main export products as rice, coffee, textile. In the recent time, it is getting known by growth of flexible packaging manufacturing. One of competitive products is shopping bag that mostly manufactured in China before.

One of the top places in the world for Polypropylene shopping bag manufacturing is Vietnam. While China may seem to be at the top for reusable shopping bags, Vietnamese reusable shopping bags are performing equally as well and are sometimes available at a lower cost. There are companies in Vietnam who have mastered two important factors about bag production – they make good quality woven bags that last for hundreds, or even thousands of uses. Secondly, they produce them at a low cost. Due to the efficient technology used in the shopping bag factories as well as the skilled labor that they have to offer, these bags can be produced cheaper than they can in many other industrialized countries.

First of all, the PP bags produced in Vietnam are of a good quality level, in several different aspects. The bags are made to high standards so that they can hold a lot of weight, over 100 or 150 kilograms in some cases. This also means that the handles of the bags must be attached firmly – one weakness of paper and traditional plastic disposable shopping bags is that the handles rip, spilling the contents of the bag out onto the floor. With the bags from Vietnam, this is not a problem.

Also, along with quality, shopping bags made in Vietnam have vivid designs printed on to the bag that stay for a long period of time – often times for the life of the bag without any wear showing on the design. Vietnamese bags can be made in any combination of colors or patterns that the client desires; this is especially good for businesses that want to have their logo imprinted on the side of a bag. Also, for bags that are designed to be sold to the consumer, patterns can be added such as fake animal prints. A coating can be added to give additional protection to the design on the bag. Additionally, the material and pattern used on the bag handle is selected at the discretion of the client.

Also, bags produced in Vietnam are low cost. Vietnam has a good combination of low-cost labor and efficient technology, so that a lot of work can be done in a short amount of time. Materials here also can be purchased for lower cost, even though they are quality, which further lowers the cost per bag. This results in quality bags that are much cheaper than they would be if they were produced in other countries, but just as durable. The time factor is also important, as with such efficient technology, large orders are able to be manufactured and delivered in a relatively short amount of time.

Vietnam truly is one of the premier countries for producing PP shopping bags. These reusable bags are growing in quality, and therefore are being manufactured all over the world now. However, businesses and consumers should keep in mind that Vietnam offers the best combination of low price and high quality PP woven reusable shopping bags.

During the 1970s, the country was at the center of the vortex of the oil crisis. In the post-9/11 world, Saudi Arabia has been viewed by many with suspicion, if not downright hostility. Skyrocketing costs at the gas pump have fueled an increasingly vocal chorus of those calling for energy independence. Despite the extent to which the two countries are intertwined, however, most Americans don’t know very much about Saudi Arabia beyond the images of sand and mystery that they’ve seen in movies or read about in a novel.

But even the best book notes won’t lift the veil and reveal the true essence of Saudi Arabia culture. To do that, you have to read the account of someone who has lived and worked among the Saudi people, who has experienced, firsthand, history in the making. There are few outsiders who regularly interact with Wahhabi Muslims in Saudi Arabia, for example, since most non-Arabs live in segregated compounds. The real insights into the culture come from people like those who have worked in nursing in Saudi, and thus have seen the good, the bad, and the unthinkable.

For example, something that Westerners take for granted – like an aspirin – can be rife with controversy in Saudi Arabia culture. Although aspirin’s anti-clotting properties have many useful medical purposes, for years women were prohibited from taking the analgesic. Why? The thought was that aspirin could cause longer menstrual periods, which meant that a woman would be “unclean” for a greater length of time, which in turn would lead to an absence of conjugal relations and the possibility that the husband would engage in a sinful act with another woman.

Westerners are often perplexed by even the simplest Saudi customs, such as Saudis’ traditional garb. In truth, the multi-layered robes are extremely practical as a means of trapping the body’s moisture and prevent dehydration in the searing desert sun. Although much has been made of the abaya, or black garment, that Saudi women wear for modesty reasons, most Westerners don’t realize that behind closed doors and only in the company of other women, the abayat come off. Underneath, the wealthy are often wearing the latest fashions that have been imported from New York, Paris, and Milan.

To one extent or another, each of us is ethnocentric, believing that our culture and our traditions are superior to those of another. Saudi Arabia culture is no different, in that Wahhabis believe that this Sunni sect of Islam is superior to all others. Similarly, Americans tend to believe that their culture is superior to that of Saudi Arabia. The truth, of course, is at neither extreme. Indeed, it is only through exposure to another’s culture through the eyes of someone who has lived it can we build bridges of understanding.
