Custom Reusable Bags 100% Pure Cotton Cheap Shopping Bag With Handle
A reusable shopping tote sewn from 100% pure cotton canvas in weights from 100gsm to 230gsm, supplied in white, cream or a custom dyed colour. The logo is applied by silk screen printing, which lays a thick opaque ink film that survives repeated washing better than a transfer. Common finished sizes include 35 x 30 x 10 cm for shopping and 30 x 35 x 10 cm or 40 x 30 x 12 cm variants, with handle length from 50cm to 100cm for hand or shoulder carry. It is bought by retailers, promotional distributors and event organisers replacing single-use carriers with a bag people keep.
What This Product Gives You
- Silk screen ink sits as a thick film on the cotton weave, so the logo stays legible after repeated use and washing
- Cotton weight is selectable from 100gsm to 230gsm, letting a light giveaway and a grocery-duty bag be priced apart
- Handle length between 50cm and 100cm lets the same bag body be specified for hand carry or shoulder carry
- White and cream blank stock means only the print changes between campaigns, keeping repeat lead times short
- A bag that is reused carries the logo far past the day it was handed out, unlike a printed plastic carrier
- Three-stage inspection across fabric, printing and final packing catches faults before they are boxed
Where It Is Used and Who Buys It
Application Scenarios
- Supermarket and grocery reusable shopping bags
- Bookstore, market and craft fair carriers
- Conference and trade show delegate bags
- Retail brand giveaways and loyalty gifts
- Merchandise bags sold at events and venues
- Workshop and classroom kit bags
Who It Is For
- Retail chains phasing out single-use carrier bags
- Promotional product distributors quoting cotton totes for clients
- Event and exhibition organisers buying delegate bags
- Independent brands selling merchandise direct

What Goes Wrong Without It
- Heat transfer logos crack and peel after washing, which silk screen ink on cotton avoids
- Cheap thin cotton stretches at the handle join and the bag deforms after a few heavy loads
- Handles cut too short for shoulder carry make a loaded bag awkward to walk with
- Colour variation between dye lots shows when two campaign batches are in circulation together
- Faults found only at final packing waste the whole batch, which stage inspection at fabric and printing prevents

Compared With the Alternatives
| Alternative | How This Compares |
|---|---|
| Non woven polypropylene bag | Cotton lasts far longer and washes, while a non woven bag costs less per unit and takes full colour photographic print more easily |
| Heat transfer printed tote | Silk screen ink survives washing where a transfer cracks, but a transfer reproduces gradients and photographs that screen printing cannot |
| Paper carrier bag | The cotton bag is reused for years and carries wet goods, though a paper bag is a fraction of the cost for a single trip |
Getting the Best Result
- Choose the heavier end of 100-230gsm where the bag carries groceries or books regularly
- Ask for 50-60cm handles for hand carry and closer to 100cm where the bag is worn over the shoulder
- Supply logos as vector artwork so the screen can be made with clean edges
- Limit silk screen designs to flat spot colours rather than gradients
- Send artwork as PDF, AI, PSD or JPEG at 300dpi with fonts outlined
- Wash a sample once before approving bulk if the bag will be laundered in use

Custom Reusable Bags 100% Pure Cotton Cheap Shopping Bag With Handle FAQ
What is the minimum order quantity?
500pcs. Each print colour needs its own screen, so a one-colour logo is the most economical at that quantity.
Which cotton weight should I order?
Cotton runs from 100gsm to 230gsm. Lighter weights suit event giveaways; the heavier end is what a grocery or book bag needs.
What size is standard?
35 x 30 x 10 cm is the standard shopping size. Other common builds are 30 x 35 x 10cm and 40 x 30 x 12cm, and any size can be made.
How long can the handles be?
Handle length runs from 50cm to 100cm. Longer handles are specified where the bag is carried over the shoulder.
Will the print survive washing?
Silk screen ink is laid as a thick film on the weave, which is why it is used here rather than a heat transfer. Test a sample through your intended wash cycle before bulk.
How is quality checked?
Inspection happens at three stages: fabric on receipt, printing before sewing, and final packaging. Photographs of the finished goods are sent for approval before shipment.
What payment terms apply?
PayPal, bank transfer (T/T) or Western Union, with a 30-50% deposit before production and the 50% balance before shipment.
