Wholesale Tote Bags

1.What are Wholesale Tote Bags?

Wholesale Tote Bags refer to large-capacity handbags sold in bulk, usually purchased by companies, merchants or organizations for brand promotion, event gifts, retail sales or daily use. Tote bags originated in the early 20th century and were originally designed to carry heavy objects. They have gradually become popular items due to their open structure, durable materials and simple style.
The core advantage of wholesale tote bags is that large-scale procurement reduces costs, while supporting high customization (such as printing logos, patterns or choosing specific materials), making them an ideal carrier for commercial promotion and daily practicality.

2. Characteristics of Wholesale Tote Bags

Diverse materials to meet different needs such as: canvas/cotton: classic choice, wear-resistant and natural texture, suitable for printing complex patterns.

Polyester/nylon: lightweight and waterproof, suitable for outdoor or sports scenes.

Linen: environmentally friendly and breathable, suitable for brands pursuing a natural style.

Non-woven fabrics: low cost, degradable, often used for one-time promotional activities.

Recycled materials: such as RPET (recycled plastic bottle fiber), catering to the trend of sustainable development.

3.Large capacity and open design

The open structure without zippers or buckles is convenient for storing and accessing items, and the internal space can accommodate laptops, books, shopping items, etc.

Thickened handles, sewing reinforcement, high-density textiles and other technologies improve the load-bearing capacity (usually 5-15kg).
