Schools and programmes use the bag to issue each pupil’s books and worksheets in one sealed pack, and children then use it daily to carry homework between home and class. The zip lock keeps loose sheets together and helps protect books from dust and spills, while the double-layer, heat-sealed handle takes the weight of a set of A4 exercise books. With printing in up to 4 process colours at 70% coverage on both sides, the bag can carry a school name, a programme message or simple learning graphics.
Because the material is biodegradable, the bag is also a good talking point in an environmental science kit lesson at school on plastics, waste and alternatives. To get the longest service from it, avoid loading it beyond 1000 g, keep sharp objects such as compasses in a case before packing, and close the seal fully so the contents do not slide out.
Biodegradable book bags are part of the classroom supply range offered by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited under the ScienceLab name. The company is based in Ambala, Haryana and supplies these bags together with student kits and teaching aids. See the company profile for more information.
