Product Overview
The Westford Mill Jute Stuff Bag is a utilitarian and ecologically conscious storage solution designed for a multitude of industrial and commercial applications. Crafted from 100% jute, this bag offers a robust and tactile alternative to synthetic packaging.

- Extensive Size Selection: With six distinct sizes ranging from a compact 0.25-litre capacity up to a substantial 40-litre option, there is a configuration suitable for almost any requirement.
- Amfori BSCI and REACH Accredited: These certifications ensure that the product is manufactured under fair working conditions and complies with safety regulations regarding chemical use.
Design & Performance
Jute is a natural plant fibre known for its high tensile strength and durability, making it an excellent choice for a 'stuff bag' that may be subject to tension. The fabric used in this Westford Mill garment is a substantial-weight material, providing a rigid structure that holds its shape well even when empty. The double drawcord is not merely decorative; it is engineered to distribute tension evenly across the top of the bag, ensuring the closure remains tight under load.
The weave of the jute provides a coarse, textured surface that is exceptionally hard-wearing. Unlike many synthetic alternatives, jute is a breathable material, which can be advantageous when storing certain organic goods or items that require airflow to prevent moisture build-up.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This jute bag provides an excellent canvas for custom branding. For large, bold logos or promotional messaging, screen printing or transfer printing is highly effective, as the ink sits well on the textured surface of the jute, creating a high-impact finish. The large print areas, scaling up to 50 x 55cm on the largest bag, allow for significant brand visibility.
For a more premium and professional appearance, embroidery can be applied. Our in-house customisation team, based in Telford since 1976, has the expertise to handle the coarse nature of jute, ensuring that your logo is rendered with precision. Embroidery adds a tactile, three-dimensional element that elevates the bag from a simple storage item to a high-quality piece of branded equipment.
Use Cases
The versatility of the Westford Mill Jute Stuff Bag makes it suitable for various sectors. The smaller sizes (XXS-S) are ideal for hardware components, luxury gift packaging, or jewellery storage. The medium to large sizes (M-XL) are frequently used for laundry services, bulk promotional kits, or as rustic display bags in retail environments. They are also a popular choice for events where a sustainable, reusable bag is preferred over single-use alternatives.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the volume of your items carefully. The XXS is very small (10 x 15cm) and is best suited for items like fasteners or small samples, whereas the XL (55 x 75cm) is equivalent to a large sack. If you are planning to use these for heavy items, the natural strength of the jute will support the weight, but we recommend choosing a size that allows the drawcord to close fully for maximum security.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and appearance of the jute, this bag must be sponge cleaned only. Submerging jute in water can cause the natural fibres to swell and shrink, leading to a loss of shape and a potential weakening of the fabric weave.
Avoid using bleach or harsh chemical cleaners, as these will degrade the natural plant fibres and cause discolouration. If the bag becomes soiled, gently dabbing with a damp cloth and mild detergent is the safest method to preserve both the fabric and any custom print or embroidery applied to it.
