A tote bag is simply a large bag with strong handles, often made from a cloth material. That means a tote bag can generally be used for anything, and typically, most people use a tote bag for a range of purposes. The most common purpose is of course shopping, as a tote bag’s strong and comfortable handles make them very ergonomic. Tote bags are also commonly used as book bags, clothing bags for sports, storage bags, event bags and more.
The most common and strong materials for tote bags are cotton, canvas and jute. These materials provide significant durability, and a tote bag made from these materials can survive thousands of uses and years of wear and tear before needing replacement.
All our tote bag options are extremely versatile, strong and customisable meaning you really can’t go wrong with any material choice. You simply need to decide what bag style, handle style & bag size fits the use case of your bag, get in touch, and then we’ll do the rest.
Tote bags and plastic bags both have their benefits. Plastic bags are strong, easy to store and their cost-effectiveness means they can be sold more cheaply to customers. A tote bag is more comfortable to hold, incredibly durable, more stylish and is therefore a better bag for reuse.
Aside from their style, comfort and functionality, these bags are a great eco-friendly option due to their reusability.
Jute bags are more eco-friendly as they’re biodegradable, meaning they’ll naturally disintegrate over time. Cotton bags are also an eco-friendly bag as they’re recyclable and they’re highly reusable.
Most tote-bags can be machine washed, but this will depend completely on the material. We recommend checking the label on your bag for instructions before washing it.
