Custom Tote Bags With Your Photo, Logo or Name

Custom tote bags here are everyday carry bags you personalize with a photo, a logo, a name or a line of text, whether for yourself, as a gift, or as a matching set for a wedding party, a classroom or a company event. The shelf runs from natural, cotton and organic cotton totes to canvas styles, including the Cotton Canvas Tote Bag, the Organic Canvas Tote Bag, the 10 oz Natural Cotton Canvas Tote Bag and the Zippered Canvas Tote, alongside the Large Organic Cotton Twill Tote Bag, the Matte Carryall Tote and the Carry-All Tote Bag. Prices run $21.99–$63.99 depending on the style. Some totes are printed edge to edge, among them the Adjustable Strap Tote Bag and a shoulder tote, so a photo or a pattern can cover the whole bag. Others are embroidered, for a name or a logo in thread, and the Woven Tote builds its design out of yarn. Every custom tote bag starts from one uploaded file or a typed line of text, placed on the bag and previewed before you pay.

Printed, embroidered or woven tote bags

The edge-to-edge totes and the Canvas Tote Bag with coloured straps are printed by a method that puts the colour into the fabric rather than on top of it, so a photograph or a repeating pattern carries cleanly and there is no layer to crack or peel. White in the artwork adds no colour at all, which is why these styles read truest on a light base; the guide to printing dye into fabric explains it.

Most canvas and cotton totes take a printed design that suits a logo, a name, a quote or an illustration. Some carry it as a transfer bonded to the fabric, bright and opaque even on a dark bag, as the guide to film transfers shows; others are printed with ink that sinks into the fibres, covered in the guide to printing straight onto fabric.

The embroidered totes stitch the design in thread, which lays down solid colour, so they are the place for initials, a name or a simple logo rather than a photograph; the guide to embroidered designs sets out text sizes and thread colours. The Woven Tote is different again: its design is made of interlaced yarn, and the guide to designs made from yarn shows how colours are matched.

Tote bags for weddings, teachers and company events

A tote with a name on it works as a gift for each person in a wedding party, for a teacher at the end of term, or for everyone at a company event. Each bag is personalized as its own item, so the design can stay the same while the name changes. For a larger order, bulk and group orders explains how ordering for a whole group works.

For a fuller set, custom makeup bags carry the same name or pattern at a smaller size, custom backpacks take over when the load needs two straps, custom aprons pair with a market or bakery tote, and custom towels finish a beach or spa gift.

Custom Tote Bags With Your Photo, Logo or Name — common questions

Can a photo go on a custom tote bag?
Yes, on any printed tote. The edge-to-edge styles carry a photograph across the whole surface, and the canvas and cotton totes take one as a printed design. Skip the embroidered totes for a photo, because thread cannot reproduce the continuous tones of a photograph.
Which custom tote bag closes with a zip?
The Zippered Canvas Tote has a zipper closure, and the Carry-All Tote Bag and its embroidered version have a zippered main compartment, so choose one of them when keys, a charger or a lunch need to stay inside the bag on a commute or a trip. For any other tote, check its own product page for how it closes.
Which tote bags are embroidered?
The ones with Embroidered in their title, including an embroidered version of the Carry-All Tote Bag. Their design is stitched in thread, which suits a name, initials or a logo built from a few solid colours. Fine detail and gradients need simplifying first, and the placement is previewed before you pay.
How does a design come out on the Woven Tote?
The Woven Tote makes its design from interlaced yarn rather than ink, so each colour in your file is matched to the nearest yarn blend and an exact colour match is not possible. Bold shapes with strong contrast come out best; a photograph is the hardest case and works better simplified.
Why do white areas disappear on an edge-to-edge printed tote?
On the edge-to-edge totes the colour is added into the fabric, so white in your artwork adds nothing and shows the bag’s own base. Designs read truest on a light base, and white lettering belongs on a tote printed with an opaque transfer, such as the Zippered Canvas Tote or the Matte Carryall Tote.
Which tote bag suits a company or team logo?
The Matte Carryall Tote takes a printed logo in bright, opaque colour, and the embroidered totes stitch one in thread. A printed transfer keeps a multicolour logo in full colour, while stitching suits a mark built from a few solid colours.
