Here are a number of uses for a canvas bag.

Get your name out there

Canvas bags are a popular item of business promotional material, if you design them to be attractive enough, they’ll be reused over and over. Someone will literally be carrying an advertisement for your brand around with them day after day.

Take some time to think about the design of your bags beyond your logo. Colourful imagery or a memorable slogan all work well. We also provide bags in a range of colours to complement your brand perfectly.

Think about size

When it comes to tote bags, one size doesn’t fit all. There are different sizes of bags available. They can be used to carry books, paperwork, or even be used as an alternative to a gym bag or beach bag.

Smaller bags can be used as alternative product packaging or even for things like party or wedding favours.

Some bags come with zips or buttons to protect the contents which make them even more popular.

Play up the environmental angle

One of the greatest benefits of canvas tote bags is that they reduce the need for using plastic bags. Plastic bags can only be reused a few times before they rip or tear and can take up to 1000 years to decompose. Billions of plastic bags are used globally every year. Many governments have introduced a plastic bag tax, which can really add up if you are buying them every time you shop.

Alongside side the reusable aspect of the bags, you can also source sustainable cotton or canvas and use water-based inks to make them even more environmentally friendly.

Sell them separately

When most people think about canvas tote bags, they assume that they are freebies that are picked up during promotions or trade events. If you’re in the retail sector, you can create a design that is attractive enough to sell as a product in its own right. Many people use tote bags as a fashion accessory, so investing a little time into the design can really reap benefits. Bagz Depot can make your vision a reality and screen print your design directly onto the bag.
