FROM TRUCK TILL BAG

aka the production of FREITAG bags

The recycling of used truck tarps into unique, highly functional bags takes place in five highly complex steps at our factory.

STEP 1: TRUCKSPOTTING

It may not be Glencore. But sourcing the raw materials FREITAG needs is still pretty hard-core.

STEP 2: CUTTING UP THE TARPS

Freeing tarps from their incarnation as dirty, bulky truck covers so they can be processed further is no walk in the park.

STEP 3: WASHING

What happens in the basement at the Nœrd has nothing in common with what you do in your laundry room – even though it might look almost the same.

STEP 4: BAG DESIGN

The bag designers ensure that our one-of-a-kind products are not just unique but uniquely beautiful as well.

STEP 5: COMPLETION

The FREITAG factory sews only prototypes and test bags. We entrust the sewing of your FREITAG bag to experienced partners.
