Custom Cotton & Canvas Tote Bags with Your Logo
Cotton and canvas totes are the workhorse of promotional bags: natural fiber, a large flat panel for your logo, and a bag people actually keep. Weights here run from lightweight 3 oz and 5 oz cotton up to heavy 24 oz canvas boat totes, in natural, dyed and recycled cotton. Choose by ounce weight first, because that single number decides how the bag hangs, how it prints and how long it lasts.

What the ounce weight actually tells you
Cotton bags are sold by the weight of a square yard of fabric, and that number does more work than any other spec on the page.
- 3 to 5 oz is a lightweight giveaway tote. It folds flat, ships cheap and is the right call for a conference tote or a store handout. It will not hold a case of water.
- 6 to 10 oz is the everyday middle. Holds its shape when half empty, takes a screen print cleanly, survives regular grocery use.
- 12 to 24 oz is canvas proper. Stiff enough to stand up on its own, thick enough for a boat tote or a tool bag, and heavy enough that shipping cost becomes a real line item on a large order.
Cotton, canvas, twill and recycled
Canvas is a plain weave in a heavier yarn, which is why it feels stiffer than a cotton tote of similar weight. Twill has a visible diagonal grain and takes embroidery well. Recycled cotton is spun from pre-consumer cutting waste and usually shows small flecks of other colors in the yarn, which is part of its look rather than a defect. Organic cotton is certified at the farm, so expect a longer lead time and a higher minimum than conventional.
Printing and the one thing to plan for
Screen printing is the standard here and the cheapest way to cover a large area. Full-color and heat transfer handle photographic artwork. Embroidery works well on twill and heavier canvas but not on 3 oz cotton, where the stitches pull the weave.
Plan for shrinkage and for washing. Untreated natural cotton shrinks on the first hot wash, and a screen print on a cotton tote is not a laundry-proof finish. If you are giving these to staff who will wash them weekly, say so before you order and we will steer you to a pre-shrunk fabric and a print method that holds.
Where else to look
For the cheapest bag per unit at a giveaway, compare with Non-Woven Totes. For the same natural look with a coarser texture, see Jute & Burlap Totes. Heavy canvas boat styles have their own page under Boat Totes, and recycled cotton is grouped in Recycled & RPET Totes.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the minimum order for custom cotton tote bags?
- The typical first price break in this category is 60 pieces; each product page shows its own minimum and price breaks with your logo included.
- Which cotton weight should I choose?
- 3 to 5 oz for a one-day giveaway, 6 to 10 oz for a bag that gets reused, 12 oz and up for canvas that stands on its own. Heavier canvas costs more to ship, so ask for carton weights on large orders.
- Can you embroider on a cotton tote?
- Yes on twill and canvas from about 10 oz up. On lightweight 3 to 5 oz cotton we recommend screen print or transfer, because embroidery pulls the thin weave.
- How long does production take?
- Most styles here decorate in 5–10 business days after proof approval. Rush production is available on many items in this range.
