How to choose
Choose the fabric for the job the bag will do. Non-woven and recycled PET shoppers are the volume option for expos and handouts — light, cheap, printed full colour. Unbleached cotton and calico are the classic conference tote: honest, foldable, kept. Step up to heavyweight canvas when the bag itself is the gift — it holds a laptop and a week of groceries, and takes embroidery as well as print. Jute reads as premium eco and suits retail and hamper programs. Check gusset and handle length before you commit: a flat tote hangs differently from a gusseted shopper, and long handles matter if it is meant to sit on a shoulder.
Compare your options
| Type | Best for | Brand feel | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Non-woven / recycled PET shopper | expo volume, handouts | Everyday | Trade shows, retail promos |
| Cotton / calico tote | conferences, community events | Honest | Delegate bags, market days |
| Heavyweight canvas tote | gifting, retail merch | Considered | Onboarding kits, brand merch drops |
| Natural jute tote | eco programs, hampers | Premium eco | Christmas hampers, retail |

Minimums start at 10 units in this range; each product states its own minimum order. Unit price depends on quantity, so ask for a stepped quote across the quantities you are weighing up.
How can custom printed tote bags be branded with a logo?
The branding methods listed across this range are embroidery, transfer print, sublimation print and laser engraving. Sense2 supplies the finished item with your branding applied as one order; the print area and positions are stated on each product page, and you approve an artwork proof before production starts.
How long does production take for custom printed tote bags?
From under a week for stocked express lines up to 9 weeks from artwork approval, depending on the product — each product page states its own production window. Freight time depends on your destination and is quoted with the order.
Are there eco-friendly custom printed tote bags?
Yes — 41 products in this range are made with jute, recycled materials or bamboo. Each product page states its material, so the sustainability claim you make to your recipients is backed by the item itself.
Can I order a sample of Custom Printed Tote Bags before placing a full order?
Yes — samples are available. Samples are charged at cost plus freight up front, and we credit the sample cost back on orders of 100+ units (and for returning customers) — so the sample effectively costs nothing once you order. Branded pre-production samples are also available with a setup fee that's credited back on the full order.
Does the Best Price Guarantee apply to custom printed tote bags?
Yes. If you show Sense2 an Australian competitor's advertised price for an identical product, we verify it and match it — the guarantee covers promotional merchandise resellers operating in Australia and excludes clearance, seconds and manufacturer pricing. Details are in our terms.

Most of this range is chosen for conferences, trade shows and delegate kits. Tell Sense2 the occasion, the recipients and the quantity and we will point you to the right pieces for the brief.
Do promotional bags actually get kept and used?

What is the cheapest custom tote bag for a large event?
Every product in Printed Tote Bags is priced by quantity — the unit price steps down as the order grows, and the exact figure for your quantity is on each product page. Minimum order 100 units with a one-colour print. Prices step down as quantity rises; a one-off setup charge per artwork is quoted up front. Prices are AUD ex-GST and covered by our Best Price Guarantee.
What is the minimum order for printed tote bags?
Most tote lines run from 50 or 100 units, and a handful of premium canvas and Bellroy-style totes from 10 to 25. Laminated jute totes are typically 50 to 1,000 depending on the style. The minimum is listed on every product page.
Which fabric should I choose — cotton, canvas, jute or non-woven?
Non-woven or recycled PET for volume and full-colour print; cotton or calico for the classic conference tote; heavyweight canvas when the bag is the gift and needs to carry weight; jute when you want a premium natural-fibre look. Ask us for a sample if you are choosing between two.
Can you print full colour on a tote bag?
Yes. Full-colour digital transfer handles photographs and gradients on cotton, canvas and non-woven bags. For simple one- to three-colour logos, screen print is sharper and more economical at volume.
How long do custom tote bags take?
Stocked non-woven and cotton lines with a standard print can dispatch in as little as two business days after proof approval. Jute, laminated and heavyweight canvas totes typically run two to three weeks. Tell us your event date and we will confirm what is achievable before you order.
Are your tote bags eco-friendly?
Many are: unbleached cotton and calico, natural jute with cotton handles, bamboo-fibre totes and recycled PET made from post-consumer bottles. Material details are on each product page, and our sustainability page lists the credentials behind the range.
The bag that keeps getting carried
A printed tote is promotional merchandise at its most honest. It gets folded into a handbag, reused at the supermarket and pulled out at the beach summers later — and every trip is a walking impression the brand did not have to pay for twice. Sense2 supplies custom printed tote bags as one order: non-woven and recycled PET shoppers for expo volume, unbleached cotton and calico for the classic conference bag, heavyweight canvas when the bag is the gift, natural jute for premium eco programs. Send the logo and the event date, and the fabric, print method and handle length get matched to the job.
When people reach for these

A cotton or non-woven tote carries the delegate pack and then carries the brand home.
Retail and market programs
