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 jute bags
Jute bags are made from natural jute fabric, laminated or unlaminated, with cotton, rope or bamboo handles. They are popular with retailers, gifting companies, wedding planners and exporters for their sturdy build and eco-friendly image.
Laminated jute gives sharper print results; natural jute suits a rustic look.
