Canvas bags are the most popular fabric shopping bag, and are synonymous with the phrase 'tote bag'. These bags provide a great middle ground of all fabric shopping bag alternatives. More robust than non-woven bags, but thinner & lighter than a printed cotton bag, with more print options and customisability than a printed jute bag, the canvas bag is a staple of our printed fabric bag range. Made from completely natural and heavy-duty fabric, canvas bags are 100% recyclable and highly reusable. Printed canvas bags are perfect for events & exhibitions as a bag for visitors, and they’re also a great option for retailers, small shops and businesses looking for a beautiful printed fabric bag.
