Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of using reusable tote bags?

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

What are tote bags used for?

A tote bag is simply a large bag with strong handles, often made from a cloth material. That means a tote bag can generally be used for anything, and typically, most people use a tote bag for a range of purposes. The most common purpose is of course shopping, as a tote bag’s strong and comfortable handles make them very ergonomic. Tote bags are also commonly used as book bags, clothing bags for sports, storage bags, event bags and more. See our Guide to Tote Bags. 

Are tote bags better than plastic bags?

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. 

Can tote bags be machine-washed?

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.

What materials are best for durable tote bags?

The most common and strong materials for tote bags are cotton, canvas and jute. These materials provide significant durability, and a tote bag made from these materials can survive many times of repeated use before needing to be repaired.

How do I choose the right tote bag for my requirement?

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.

Are cotton or jute tote bags more eco-friendly?

Jute bags are more eco-friendly as they’re biodegradable, meaning they’ll naturally disintegrate over time. Cotton bags are also an eco-friendly bag as they’re recyclable and they’re highly reusable.
