What is TPU?

What is TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)?

TPU stands for Thermoplastic Polyurethane. It's a premium, flexible, rubber-like plastic material that's used in high-end products like phone cases, medical equipment, and now our stadium tote bags.

Why TPU bags are better than cheap PVC bags

  • NFL & Stadium Compliant: TPU clear bags meet the strict clear bag policies enforced at NFL stadiums and most major venues.
  • Durable & Flexible: TPU won't crack, stiffen, or break down over time the way cheap PVC totes do.
  • Strength & Puncture-resistance: TPU is stronger than PVC, with higher resistance to tears and punctures.
  • Crystal Clear: Stays transparent and doesn't yellow with age or UV exposure.
  • Odor-Free: Unlike PVC, TPU doesn't off-gas that harsh chemical smell.
  • Eco-Friendlier: TPU is free of harmful plasticizers like phthalates that are commonly found in PVC tote bags.

When you're heading into the stadium, the last thing you want is a bag that cracks in the cold, yellows in the sun, or gets rejected at the gate. Our TPU tote is built to last season after season.
