Why canvas for tote bags
Canvas is a tightly woven, heavy fabric that holds shape, carries weight well and takes screen printing beautifully. It is a strong choice for tote bags, tool bags, backpacks and retail bags that need to survive repeated use. Fabric weight (GSM or ounces) is selected based on the load the bag will carry.
- Properties
- Strong and abrasion-resistant, excellent surface for screen printing, holds its shape and available in natural, dyed and waxed finishes
- Care
- Spot clean or hand wash for printed canvas; avoid harsh bleach.
- Things to consider
- Heavier canvas costs more but lasts longer — match GSM to the load.
- Eco-friendly

How to choose canvas tote bags for a bulk order
Decide these four things first — they drive suitability, quality and price.
Load
Grocery and retail loads need gussets and reinforced handles; giveaways can be lighter.
Material
Non-woven for economy, cotton for washable reuse, jute for a natural premium look, paper for boutique retail.
Fabric weight
Specify GSM — it decides strength and price more than any other choice.
Print
One- or two-colour screen printing keeps costs down on large runs.
