New Place Branded Jute Bags for Omagh

JUTE bags displaying a specially-designed place brand for Omagh have been launched in the run-up to Christmas.

Produced by Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, the bags feature the logo, ‘Inspired by Omagh, The Heart of Tyrone’.

The bags are made from reusable material which will help local businesses and customers shop more sustainably and make a conscious effort to reduce reliance on plastic bags.

Fermanagh and Omagh District Council chair, Errol Thompson, said, “The place-branded jute bags perfectly capture the essence of Omagh while also promoting the town.

“The jute bags also promote sustainability which we as a council are very keen to support as part of our Climate Change and Sustainable Development Strategy: Restore, Revive, Thrive – Our Environment.

“Customers will be encouraged to make a more conscious effort to avoid single-use plastic like plastic bags while shopping and instead opt for the reusable option with the new jute bags.”

The new place-branded jute bags will be distributed to local businesses in Omagh and will also be distributed to shoppers at town centre events throughout the Christmas period.
