A printed fabric tote bag is the perfect option for reusability and getting your brand seen through reuse of the bag. Compared with a paper or plastic bag, a fabric bag is much more comfortable, will last for years, and because of its premium materials it feels special, meaning customers are likely to use it again and again. This is beneficial as its eco-friendly, but it also helps your brand get seen. A printed fabric tote bag is a great option for businesses looking for event bags for conferences and exhibitions, as well as tote shopping bags that can form part of a larger line-up of bag options for retailers.

See more inspirationAs the UK’s #1 supplier of printed carrier bags, we’re able to accommodate for tight delivery deadlines that no other supplier is able to meet. We regularly work with brands that have been let down by their bag supplier, and can deliver lightning-fast turnarounds, often on the largest and most complex orders. If you need printed bags quickly, no matter your requirements, we’re here to help.
All these bag materials have merit. Cotton bags are comfortable to hold and look fantastic when printed, and they can also be made from organic materials. Jute bags are simple, elegant and natural, and come in large or small configurations. Canvas bags are made from a strong and simple material for fabric bags, perhaps the most common choice for a traditional tote bag. Non-woven bags balance strength, versatility, easy storage and cost-effectiveness to create a bag that’s ideal for those looking for a more simplistic solution.
There is no minimum order quantity for our printed fabric bags, meaning we can be as flexible as you need. However, because of high unit costs for lower orders, we recommend ordering no less than 25 bags. If you have any specific quantity requirements, please let us know.
On average we require 2 weeks to manufacture, print and deliver fabric bags. This can vary depending on quantities, so we may be able to deliver more quickly. We can confirm your estimated delivery time during the order process so you know exactly when to expect your bags by. If you require your bags by a specific deadline, we are the only UK carrier bag supplier that can accommodate any specific delivery turnarounds or requirements, so please call or email us as soon as possible.
There are several variables that can affect the cost of a printed fabric bag, from material, to printing, to handle choice and to style. Fabric bags are incredibly versatile, so we must adjust our prices based on the bag customisation and configuration chosen. The biggest impact on price will be order quantity – the larger the order, the lower the unit price. We recommend ordering at least 25 bags to ensure you’re not paying more per bag than you should be.
Printed fabric bags can come in a range of sizes. Please see our fabric bag size guide for more information.
Printed fabric tote bags are popular as reusable shopping bags. Not only does this make them eco-friendly, but it also allows you to get your printed design, branding and messaging in front of lots of people. A printed fabric bag turns customers or event attendees into a walking advertisement for your business.
Fabric bags are also comfortable to hold, come in many configurations, and also have much smaller minimum order quantities than plastic or paper bags.
Some of our fabric bag options are made from fairtrade, organic or recycled materials. Depending on your desired specification of bag, we may be able to offer this, but it is not guaranteed. Different bag variations, such as large or gusseted bags, may not be configurable with eco-friendly material options. Let us know your preferences when requesting a quote.
With such a wide variety of materials, some fabric bags are more eco-friendly than others. For instance, organic cotton & canvas bags are made from highly eco-friendly materials, and jute bags are made from biodegradable materials. Some of our fabric bags are recyclable too. Perhaps the most environmentally beneficial characteristic of fabric bags are their reusability, with users typically favouring these bags for reuse due to their robustness and style.
Not all printed fabric bags are biodegradable, but jute bags are made from natural fibres so are biodegradable.
Yes, all our fabric bags can be washed, but not all bags should be machine washed. For instance, machine washing a jute bag could damage the bag as it is made from natural fibres. If you need to wash your bags, we recommend doing your research on the best way to avoid damaging the material or print when washing.
