Tote Bags size guide
Typical sizes buyers order. Every size can be adjusted — share the item the bag must carry and we will size it to fit.
Dimensions are approximate starting points, not fixed catalogue sizes.
How to choose tote bags for a bulk order
Decide these four things first — they drive suitability, quality and price.
Load
Grocery and retail loads need gussets and reinforced handles; giveaways can be lighter.
Material
Non-woven for economy, cotton for washable reuse, jute for a natural premium look, paper for boutique retail.
Fabric weight
Specify GSM — it decides strength and price more than any other choice.
Print
One- or two-colour screen printing keeps costs down on large runs.

Branding methods for tote bags compared
The right method depends on your artwork, the bag material and the quantity.
What affects the price of tote bags
Unit prices are quoted per order because these choices change the cost:
- Material and GSM
- Gusset and handle type
- Number of print colours and sides
- Lamination and finishing
- Order quantity — larger runs spread setup costs
- Freight to your city (compare quotes on landed cost)
Bulk & wholesale orders in Mumbai

When Mumbai buyers order tote bags
Demand for tote bags rises around these periods. Placing the order and approving the sample a few weeks ahead keeps delivery on schedule. Dates are approximate and vary by year.
Navratri · September–October
Nine nights of garba and dandiya events drive festive retail, event merchandise and gifting — especially across Gujarat.
Uttarayan / Makar Sankranti · January
A major festive-retail moment in western and southern India.
Ganesh Chaturthi · August–September
Ten days of public celebrations, especially in Maharashtra, with strong festive retail and event demand.
Conference & exhibition season · roughly September–February
Most large conferences, expos and corporate events cluster in the cooler months, driving delegate bags and conference kits.
Diwali · October–November
The biggest corporate-gifting and festive-retail period of the year. Gift bags, corporate gift bags and printed carry bags are usually finalised several weeks in advance.
Wedding season · roughly November–February, with more dates in April–May
Return-gift bags, potlis, jewellery pouches and garment covers peak with wedding dates. Personalised printing needs extra lead time.
Common mistakes when ordering tote bags
- Too-low GSM for the weight carried
- Too many print colours on a budget bag
- Ignoring your state's carry-bag rules
- Ordering one size when the store needs two or three
