Tote bag development: shape, handles and print for your brand

A tote has a broad face for artwork, but the handle, base and opening give it much of its character. We develop those details together so the bag feels like part of your collection.

The short answer

The tote’s base, handles and print area are developed together. A free image shows the brand direction before the physical sample and agreed specification.

The outline sets the presentation

A flat tote, a shaped base and a wide shopping style create different silhouettes. The choice can follow the products being carried or how the bag is displayed. Our tote range provides examples, and the pattern room can adjust the selected dimensions for your version.

Handles are a design choice

Short handles and shoulder-length handles change the carrying style and the appearance on a shelf. Fabric handles can continue the body colour; webbing can add contrast. We show the handle and logo together, including whether the print sits between the handles or across a larger panel.

Give the artwork room

A large illustration, short wordmark and small label need different layouts. Our designer prepares the image without a design fee before the order. Fabric and decoration are agreed for that version. The physical sample then gives the team a shared reference for the look and finish.

A tote can join a wider assortment

For each model and colour, the minimum is 500 pieces from stock or 1,000 for a custom version. A tote can be supplied with a pouch, backpack or another category in the same shipment. Your representative brings quantities, packaging and the agreed delivery calendar into one proposal.

Can we adjust a tote’s handles?
