This essentially refers to the dimensions and orientation of the bag. Unlike some of our other options, our fabric tote bags range is more rigid with regards to the bag size customisability. A small fabric tote bag is your typical ‘tote’ bag size, whereas a large fabric tote bag more resembles an A3 sheet of paper, is gusseted, and has handles along its long side.

Yes, you can choose between short and long handles, however this may affect your ability to configure your bag with other features such as gussets, or organic/fairtrade/recycled cotton. Let us know your desired requirements and we’ll do our best to accommodate.

A cotton tote bag is about the most durable shopping bag you can get. Cotton is a strong, thick woven material that easily stands the test of time.

Aside from their style, comfort and functionality, these bags are a great eco-friendly option due to their reusability.

Tote bags and plastic bags both have their benefits. Plastic bags are strong, easy to store and their cost-effectiveness means they can be sold more cheaply to customers. A tote bag is more comfortable to hold, incredibly durable and more stylish. What distinguishes tote bags from plastic bags is the reusability. Tote bags are design with reuse in mind, making it a better long-term carrier brand for extended brand exposure. 

There are several variables that can affect the cost of a printed fabric bag, from material, to printing, to handle choice and to style. Fabric bags are incredibly versatile, so we must adjust our prices based on the bag customisation and configuration chosen. The biggest impact on price will be order quantity – the larger the order, the lower the unit price.

Yes, you can personalise most of our fabric bags on one or both sides. You can usually repeat the same design or use different artwork on each side, subject to the bag style and printing method. Our team will confirm the available print area, colours and most suitable printing method before production.

The best material depends on the appearance you want to achieve: Cotton bags provide a soft, versatile printing surface suited to detailed logos and colourful designs. Canvas bags have a thicker, more substantial feel, giving printed designs a premium finish with a natural texture. Jute bags have a distinctive woven surface that works particularly well with bold logos and simpler designs for a rustic appearance. Non-woven bags provide a smooth, consistent surface for clear branding and offer a cost-effective choice for larger quantities. Our team can recommend the most suitable material and printing method based on your artwork, preferred finish and budget.

There is a wide range of customisation available. You can personalise your tote bags by choosing the material, bag colour, print colours and handle style to suit your specific branding. Our range includes cotton, canvas, jute and non-woven options, with customisation choices varying by bag. We’ll help you find the tailored combination for your products, event or promotion.

Our tote bags can be printed with your logo on one or both sides. Choose a simple single-colour logo or a multicolour design. Take into consideration of the material type as that will affect the flexibility of the print colours and design. Share your artwork with our team and we’ll advise on the print options and placement for your chosen bag.

Most tote bags can be machine washed. However, this will depend completely on the material as well as the print. Depending on what sort of print or material you order, it can be damaged in the washing machine. We recommend checking the label on your bag or contacting our team for instructions before washing it.

All our tote bag options are extremely versatile, strong and customisable meaning you really can’t go wrong with any material choice. You simply need to decide what bag style, handle style & bag size fits the use case of your bag, get in touch, and then we’ll do the rest.

Some fabric bags are biodegradable, but this depends on their construction. Jute, cotton and canvas made entirely from natural fibres can biodegrade under suitable conditions. Non-woven polypropylene bags are not biodegradable.

Printing, dyes, coatings and synthetic stitching can affect whether the finished bag is fully biodegradable. Check the specification of your chosen bag with our team, and do not place it in home compost unless it is specifically certified as suitable.

With such a wide variety of materials, some fabric bags are more eco-friendly than others. For instance, organic cotton & canvas bags are made from highly eco-friendly materials, and jute bags are made from biodegradable materials. Some of our fabric bags are recyclable too. Perhaps the most environmentally beneficial characteristic of fabric bags are their reusability, with users typically favouring these bags for reuse due to their robustness and style.

Yes, samples can be arranged so you can assess the bag, material, size and finish before committing to a full order. Availability may vary depending on the bag type, specification and the type of print requested. As far as possible, we aim to provide samples that closely reflect the final bag you are looking to create.

As part of our process, you will receive an artwork proof before production begins. We’ll work with you on any revisions and help tailor your design to the available print options. Production will only begin once you’re happy with the artwork and have approved it.

Cotton bags are popular with independent retailers, fashion and clothing brands, and businesses attending events and exhibitions. Their comfortable handles and reusable design make them suitable for shopping, merchandise and promotional giveaways.
