Cotton Tote Bags are custom-printed reusable fabric totes for cafes, food brands, markets, and retailers that want a carry bag customers keep using. Made from durable cotton with sturdy handles, each tote is printed in full color with your logo or artwork.
A reusable tote turns every grocery run, market trip, or shop visit into brand exposure, and customers reach for a well-made bag again and again. Food brands hand them out with bakery orders and gift sets, while retailers sell them at the counter or include them in a purchase as a keepsake that travels.

Buying Cotton Totes in Wholesale Quantities
Cotton is sold by ounce weight per square yard, and that single number sets the feel, the price, and how the ink sits. Six ounce cotton drapes softly and prints crisply for events; twelve ounce canvas stands on its own and takes repeated loads. Double stitched handle joins are worth specifying wherever bags carry weight.
| Totes ordered | Cotton weight guidance |
|---|---|
| 50 | Compare six, ten, and twelve ounce swatches in hand. |
| 500 | Retail shelf stock for a single store location. |
| 1,000 | Natural and dyed body colors under one print file. |
| 5,000 | Embroidery or multi color screens stop driving the price. |
| 10,000+ | Ongoing merchandise supply from about $0.44 per unit at volume. |
Scheduling follows the routing: decoration handled on our own equipment can land inside about 7 business days, while specialty imported cotton bodies run nearer about 12 weeks, treat both as planning ranges, not guarantees. A digital proof of the print position is sent before any screens burn. Give us fabric weight, finished size, handle drop, and yearly count.
