Screen print vs DTF on canvas
Screen printing is the standard for tote bags and the method the published price assumes. One or two ink colors on natural canvas is the cheapest option at volume and the most durable, because the ink soaks into the weave and survives years of groceries and books.
DTF (direct-to-film) prints full-color and photographic artwork with no setup per ink color, so a detailed design costs the same as a simple one. Embroidery is a premium option for a small stitched mark on a gift tote, priced on your quote.

How can you lower the cost per tote bag?
- Order once for the season. One run of 250 costs much less per bag than several small runs.
- Print one or two colors. A bold one-color logo on natural canvas is the cheapest, longest-lasting tote there is.
- Keep it to the front panel. A second side adds a print location; add it only when sponsors need the space.
- Plan ahead. A standard timeline avoids rush costs and leaves time to approve the mockup without a scramble.
Ordering custom tote bags in bulk
Totes are an easy bulk order: no sizes to collect and one price for every bag. Event teams order them as the swag bag (see conference tote bags), nonprofits sell them at walks and galas (fundraiser tote bags), and PTAs give them to staff each May (teacher appreciation tote bags). For colors, options and specs, see custom tote bags.
Custom tote bag pricing FAQ
$5–$9 each at 50 bags, $4–$7 at 100 and $3–$6 at 250 or more, screen printed on heavyweight canvas and delivered with shipping to one US address included. Orders start at 20 bags, and your free quote gives the exact price for your artwork and quantity.
$3–$6 each at 250 or more, the lowest published tier, so 250 printed totes come to about $750–$1,500 delivered. At 100 the range is $4–$7 each. Larger runs are priced on your quote, where setup and shipping spread across even more bags.
No separate setup line. Your quote is itemized with the decoration included in the price per bag, so a one-color print on the front panel costs what the quote says. A second print side, extra ink colors or embroidery each show as their own line before you approve anything.
20 bags per order. The published price bands start at 50, so an order of 20 to 49 bags is priced on your quote, and it costs a little more per bag than the 50 tier. The price per bag drops again at 100 and at 250 or more.
Yes. A second side is a second print location, so it adds to the price and shows as its own line on your quote. A common setup is your logo on the front and sponsor logos or a message on the back. The free mockup shows both sides before anything is printed.
Yes, with DTF (direct-to-film), which prints full color with no setup per ink color. For a logo in one or two colors, screen printing is cheaper at volume and lasts longer on canvas. Send the artwork and we recommend the method, then show it on the free mockup.
Yes. Every price on this page is delivered: free shipping to one us address per order, with import duties paid. There is no freight line added at the end. The whole order arrives together at one address, so ship it to your office, school or the event venue.
About 3 weeks from mockup approval to in hand: about 2 weeks of production, then about 1 week of shipping. The free mockup and quote come back by the next business morning. For a conference or a fundraiser date, put it in your request and the quote confirms it.
Budget $4–$7 per bag for 100 attendees and $3–$6 at 250 or more, delivered. For a 250-person conference that is about $750–$1,500 for the whole order. For a fundraiser, set the sale price above that range and the difference is your margin per bag.
