Why Plus Packaging Custom Tote Bags Stand Out

Most custom tote bag suppliers focus on either low cost OR premium quality. We’ve found the sweet spot in between:

  • Better construction techniques – Our bags use box stitching at stress points where others use single stitching that fails quickly
  • Color matching expertise – We hit your brand colors precisely, not “close enough”
  • Material knowledge – We’ll tell you honestly when lightweight fabric makes sense and when you need something sturdier
  • Design partnership – Our team helps optimize your artwork for the printing method and material
  • No surprise fees – Clear pricing includes everything from artwork setup to delivery

Why Custom Tote Bags Make Smart Business Sense?

Extended Brand Visibility

Every time someone uses your tote, your brand gets seen, at the grocery store, gym, beach, or anywhere else. It’s advertising that keeps working long after purchase.

Sustainability That Shows

When you choose eco-friendly totes, you’re making a visible statement about your brand values. Our recycled canvas and organic cotton options let customers feel good about carrying your brand.

Practical Marketing That Lasts

Unlike flyers that get tossed or emails that get deleted, a quality tote provides years of use and visibility. The cost-per-impression is pennies compared to most advertising.

I wasn’t sure if branded tote bags would make an impact, but turns out they’ve become our customers’ favorite thing. We used them for a small pop-up and they were gone in an hour. Quality is excellent, and Plus Packaging made the whole process feel very personal.
03/01/2025 | Stephanie Lin | Verified Buyer
We ordered 300 totes for a nonprofit event. Not only did they arrive early, but the printing was so clean it looked retail-ready.
02/27/2025 | Malik Thompson | Verified Buyer
The cotton feels thick and durable—not flimsy like some other vendors we tried. The stitching was clean and the color matched perfectly with our palette.
01/25/2025 | Elena Vargas | Verified Buyer
Honestly, I just wanted something basic for a giveaway. Didn’t expect to get bags this nice. Simple design, yes—but the quality? Way above what we paid. Will be coming back for more.
01/23/2025 | Rachel Donovan | Verified Buyer
We did a full-color print with custom handles for our new store launch. Melissa handled all the specs like a pro.

Common Questions About Custom Tote Bags

Common Questions About Custom Tote Bags

What’s the difference between your material options?

Cotton canvas is the classic choice: sturdy, natural, and with a premium feel. It’s washable and ages well. Organic cotton offers the same benefits as standard canvas but is grown without pesticides and processed without harmful chemicals. It costs about 20% more but appeals to eco-conscious customers. Recycled canvas combines post-consumer cotton with recycled polyester for durability with a smaller environmental footprint. Jute has a distinctive natural look and exceptional strength. It’s biodegradable but has a rougher texture than cotton. Non-woven polypropylene is our most affordable option. It’s lightweight but surprisingly strong and can be easily wiped clean.

Which printing method should I choose for my tote bag design?

For simple logos with 1-4 solid colors, screen printing provides vibrant results at a great price. For photographs, gradients or complex illustrations, digital printing captures all the details. Heat transfer works well for smaller runs with detailed designs. The best method depends on your artwork, bag material, and quantity. We’ll recommend the right approach when we see your design.

Are these tote bags eco-friendly?

Absolutely. Our natural fiber bags are recyclable and compostable, and we offer GOTS-certified organic options for maximum sustainability.

How strong are your tote bags?

Our standard cotton canvas totes safely carry 20-25 pounds. Reinforced versions can handle up to 40 pounds. Non-woven polypropylene totes typically hold 10-15 pounds. We test all bag styles with real-world loads to ensure they meet our strength standards. If your bags will regularly carry heavy items, we recommend reinforced handles and bottom panels.

Do you offer custom sizes or just standard ones?

Yes. While we have popular standard sizes, we support fully custom dimensions tailored to your brand or product needs.

How long will my custom tote bags take to produce?

Standard production time is 2-4 weeks after design approval. Factors that affect timing include: Quantity ordered Material selected (some specialty fabrics take longer) Printing complexity Seasonal demand Rush options are available for many styles with 10-day turnaround for an additional fee.

Can I get samples of tote bags before ordering?

Absolutely! We offer: Blank material swatches to feel the fabrics Sample bags from previous productions to check quality Pre-production samples of your exact design for larger orders Sample costs are typically credited back when you place your full order.
