Custom Tote Bags: Canvas vs Non-Woven, Which Is Right?

Two popular tote materials, two different feels and price points. Here's how to choose.

Custom tote bags are one of the best promo buys around — but they come in different materials, mainly canvas and non-woven. Each suits a different goal. Here's how to choose.

Canvas: premium and lasting

A canvas tote feels substantial and high-quality — the kind people use for years and carry proudly. Best when you want a premium giveaway or sellable merch that travels for a long time.

Pro Tip For a premium audience or sellable merch, spend on canvas — people keep and use a quality tote for years, making its cost-per-impression incredibly low over its long life.

Non-woven: affordable and practical

Non-woven totes are lightweight and budget-friendly — ideal for high-volume giveaways, event swag, and grocery-style bags where quantity matters more than premium feel.

Match to your goal

Premium gift or merch you want kept for years? Canvas. Mass event handout or shopping bag? Non-woven. The right choice depends on whether you're going for impression or volume.

Make the design the star

Either way, a great-looking design is what gets a tote carried in public. Pair with matching stickers for a coordinated branded set.

Choose your tote

Canvas totes feel premium and last for years; non-woven totes are affordable for high-volume giveaways. Match the material to your goal — premium impression or mass reach.
