Buying Guide
Choosing a canvas bag
Fabric weight
Lighter cotton (around 6–8 oz) is economical and folds easily — good for giveaways. Medium canvas (10–12 oz) is the all-round retail tote. Heavy canvas (14–16 oz) holds its shape and is the premium gifting choice.
Print or embroidery
Screen printing is the most cost-effective for one- or two-colour logos in volume. Heat transfer handles full-colour artwork. Embroidery gives a raised, premium finish that lasts as long as the bag.
Gusset and handles
A base gusset lets the bag carry boxes and books. Long handles go over the shoulder; short handles suit hand-carry shoppers.
