Custom Tote Bags in Every Material

Custom Tote Bags With Logo & Branded Tote Bags

A custom tote bag with your logo turns an everyday carry item into a walking advertisement for your brand. Whether you're outfitting a trade show booth, building swag bags for a conference, or creating retail merchandise, customizable tote bags and personalized tote bags give customers a reusable, practical product they actually keep and use, unlike disposable giveaways that end up in the trash.

Branded tote bags work well at trade shows, retail counters, and gift tables alike. Upload your artwork, select your imprint color, and preview your branded tote bag before you commit to an order.

Order Custom Tote Bags: Bag Style & Material

Bag Material

Not every event calls for the same tote. CustomLanyard.net carries custom tote bags in a wide range of materials: nylon, non-woven, cotton, cotton canvas, natural jute, denim, oxford cloth, paper, plastic, poly canvas, polyester, PVC, and water-resistant fabric, so you can match the bag material to how it'll actually be used.

Need something for a rainy outdoor market? A water-resistant or PVC tote holds up better than paper. Prefer something more budget-conscious than plastic bags for a store giveaway? A non-woven or poly canvas tote gives customers a reusable alternative they'll actually keep, and both make practical, low-cost giveaway items for a large-attendance event.

Eco-Friendly Materials

Want an eco-friendlier option? Our custom recycled cotton front pocket jute tote pairs a recycled cotton panel with a natural jute body for a sustainability-minded pick. Our Eco-One organic cotton tote is another genuinely eco-friendly choice if certified organic cotton matters more to your brand than recycled content.

If recycled polyester is specifically what your sustainability guidelines call for, CustomLanyard.net's eco-friendly rPET (recycled PET) line is available on our lanyards, so you can round out a fully recycled-materials kit alongside your tote order.

Popular Styles & Colors

Popular styles include economy non-woven totes, nylon and polyester drawstring bags, canvas and cotton totes, insulated grocery totes, custom backpacks, and specialty shapes like wine totes and gusseted totes for bulkier items. Choose from 18 in-stock colors including black, navy blue, royal blue, red, teal, khaki, and off white to match your brand palette, or ask about custom colors for a closer match.

Bag Size

Picking the right bag comes down to size as much as material. Sizes run from personalized small tote bags built for gift bags and retail packaging, up through medium totes for everyday use and personal use, to large grocery and shopper totes designed to carry a full day's worth of purchases.

Not sure what bag size fits your use case? A tote is one of the most flexible bags you can hand someone: unlike duffels packed for a weekend trip, a garment bag built to carry a suit over the shoulder, or dedicated laptop or tablet bags sized for a single device, a tote adapts to running errands, packing a few essentials, carrying a tablet and notebook to a meeting, or serving as a business bag for gifts to clients. If you're shopping our product pages for inspiration, look at how each style photographs loaded and empty; it's the fastest way to judge real capacity before you commit to a bulk order.

Pricing for Every Budget

Budget shouldn't stand between your brand and a quality giveaway. CustomLanyard.net's custom tote bag pricing spans every budget, from bags priced under $1 each for large-quantity giveaways to premium custom laminated tote bags, insulated totes, and cotton canvas options for a more upscale presentation.

Printed tote bags cheap enough for a 500-piece conference giveaway sit right alongside custom laminated tote bags for a higher-end retail or corporate gift. As a wholesale tote bags source, pricing drops per unit the more you order, so ordering in bulk is one of the most effective ways to bring your personalized bags cheap enough to fit a tight event budget without cutting into quality. The total price is always shown before you check out, so there's no guesswork on the final number.

Minimum Order Quantity for a Large Event

Most custom tote bag styles at CustomLanyard.net carry a minimum order quantity of just 12 pieces, making it realistic to test a design on a small run before committing to a larger order.

That same low minimum order scales smoothly for a large event order, a few dozen for a small team, or several thousand for a trade show, conference, or retail launch, with per-unit pricing dropping as your quantity increases. Trade shows and large events with variable headcounts are exactly where that scaling matters most. If you don't see the exact quantity or configuration you need listed, the CustomLanyard.net team can put together a custom quote for special requests.

Imprint Color & Full Color Options

Your logo deserves to show up exactly the way you designed it. CustomLanyard.net supports single-color imprinting for a clean, budget-friendly look as well as full color printing for logos, gradients, or photo-quality artwork that need more than one imprint color to look right, plus screen printing, embroidery, and heat transfer as additional ways to customize your bag.

That's a different set of methods than what you'd see on printed apparel — direct to garment (DTG) printing, for example, is built for cotton T-shirts and isn't used on tote bag fabrics like canvas, non-woven, or nylon, so you won't find it listed as a tote bag imprint option here.

Laminated tote bags and promotional tote bags with zipper closures are popular choices when a sharper, more finished full-color print matters, while a single imprint color keeps costs down on large bulk orders and embroidery adds a more tactile, premium print quality to canvas and cotton totes. Whichever branding method you choose, you'll see a free digital proof of your customized design before it goes into production, and an embroidered logo is a good sign-off to request if you want your proof to reflect the finished stitched texture rather than a flat print mockup.

What materials are tote bags made from?

Tote bags are commonly made from materials such as Non woven,cotton, canvas, jute, or polyester.

What sizes are available for tote bags?

Tote bags come in various sizes. You can also opt for custom sizing depending on the specific purpose of the tote.

What are tote bags used for?

Tote bags are versatile and used for a variety of purposes, including shopping, promotional giveaways, events, daily carry bags, and fashion accessories. They’re also popular as eco-friendly alternatives to single-use plastic bags.

What's the difference between screen printing and full color printing?

Screen printing (single or limited imprint colors) applies ink through a stencil and holds up well for simple logos on a budget. Full color printing reproduces gradients, multiple colors, and photo-quality artwork in one pass, which makes it a better fit for detailed logos or laminated tote bags where print sharpness matters more than unit cost.

Does Made in USA change the price or turnaround time?

Made in USA tote bags are typically priced a bit higher than globally manufactured options because of domestic labor and material costs, and turnaround can vary by style. Reach out to the team before you place an order so they can confirm current lead times for the specific bag style you want.

Do tote bag orders earn BandBucks® rewards?

Yes. Tote bag orders qualify for BandBucks®, CustomLanyard.net's 5% back rewards program, the same as the rest of the site's product lines. The rewards apply automatically and can be put toward your next order, whether that's more totes, lanyards, or another promotional item.

Can I get a two-tone tote bag?

Yes. Alongside solid-color totes, CustomLanyard.net carries two-tone cotton and cotton canvas styles, where the handles or trim come in a contrasting color from the main body — a simple way to make a design pop without paying for a full-color print.

What's the difference between laminated and standard printed totes?

A laminated tote bag has a thin plastic film bonded to the fabric surface, giving it a glossy, wipeable finish and extra resistance to moisture and wear. A standard printed tote skips that film layer, so it stays lighter and more flexible but won't hold up to spills or heavy handling quite as well. Laminated styles tend to cost more per unit.

Can I order a tote bag with a matching lanyard or apparel piece?

Yes. Tote bags, lanyards, and apparel are separate product lines at CustomLanyard.net, so you can place them as separate orders using the same logo and imprint colors to build a coordinated set, a common approach for conference swag bags or new-hire welcome kits.
