About tote bags
Tote bags are open-top carry bags with two handles — simple to use, easy to brand and reusable. They are ordered as merchandise by brands, as carry bags by retailers and as giveaways at events and conferences.
Fabric weight drives both cost and durability — giveaways can use lighter fabric, retail merchandise usually needs heavier canvas.
About beach bags
Beach bags are oversized totes made to carry towels, sunscreen and water. Resorts give them to guests, and fashion and swimwear brands sell or gift them in summer collections.
Resorts usually order before the tourist season; bright, all-over prints are popular.
