What is the Black Cotton Canvas Tote with 5" Gusset, 20" x 15" x 5"?
This bag is made from heavyweight cotton canvas. It measures 20" x 15" x 5". This is the black colorway.
Canvas is the workhorse bag material: it takes weight, it takes abuse, and it looks better worn than new.
A bag is the largest imprint area in promotional products and it is seen by everyone the carrier walks past. Screen printing and embroidery both hold well on canvas.
The middle of the range, and the part of it that does the most work. Good enough that people keep it, cheap enough that you can cover an entire department. Concretely: $15.00 each at 1-11, $9.30 at 500+.

Decoration options
The decoration method is chosen to match the substrate, which is why the mark is permanent rather than printed on top of it. Standard imprint area on this item is 5 in x 5 in.
Screen Printing
Ink is pushed through a mesh stencil, one screen per color. Dense, opaque color that holds up to washing and handling.
Bags, apparel and high-volume runs.
Spot colors, typically up to 4.
Embroidery
The design is stitched directly into the fabric. A raised, textured, extremely durable mark.
Headwear, polos, bags and anything expected to be laundered.
Thread-matched to brand colors.
Heat Transfer
A printed transfer is applied under heat and pressure. Full-color decoration on fabrics and soft goods.
Small runs and complex multi-color artwork on textiles.
Full color.
Artwork requirements
- If the logo is only available as a bitmap, we need it at 300 dpi or better at final size, ideally on a transparent background.
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
- Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.
- Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
- We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.
Production schedule
| Artwork proof | 1 business day from receipt of usable art |
|---|---|
| Standard production | 3 to 5 business days after proof approval |
| Rush production | quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay |
| Ground transit | 1 to 5 business days depending on destination |
Common uses
Where this works best
The same item lands differently depending on who gets it and why. Here is how this one performs across the programs it sells into most.
Onboarding & New Hire Kits
Day one sets the tone for everything after it. Order for the year, not the hire. Onboarding kits fail on availability rather than design: a start date arrives, the item is out of stock, and the new person gets an apology instead of a welcome. Hold quantity against forecast headcount and the problem disappears. Deep enough quantity is affordable here, which is unusual at this quality.
Nonprofit & Fundraising
Every pound spent on a donor gift is a pound not spent on the mission, so the gift has to earn it. Volunteer recognition is where the money works hardest. Volunteers give time that would otherwise cost you wages, and the marginal cost of thanking them properly is trivial against what their continued involvement is worth. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. The workhorse choice for this audience, and it re-orders predictably.
Healthcare & Senior Living
Healthcare buyers screen for practicality and hygiene before they screen for design. Easy-clean surfaces, no small detachable parts, and legible large-format personalization all matter. Staff appreciation is a genuine retention lever in this sector, and a good piece of drinkware or desk recognition costs a fraction of replacing a nurse. A bag is the largest imprint area in promotional products and it is seen by everyone the carrier walks past. Priced so you can cover everyone without cheapening the gesture.
Franchise & Multi-Location Brands
The hard problem in multi-location branding is consistency, not creativity. Local operators will source their own if the approved path is slower or costlier than the alternative. The way to hold brand consistency is to make the compliant option the easy one, with stocked items and fixed pricing. Screen printing and embroidery both hold well on canvas. At $9.30 in volume the cost per kept item is hard to beat.
Trade Shows & Conferences
Booth traffic is not the metric: what leaves the hall and stays in use is. The giveaway is a conversation opener, not a memory device. Its real job is giving someone a reason to stand still for ninety seconds, which is why something that invites a question outperforms something that merely carries a logo. The bag format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. Roughly 38% comes off between one piece and a full run.

What do buyers ask about BAG132?
Can I order more later and have them match?
Yes. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file. Material batches can vary slightly on natural materials, which is worth knowing if color matching across orders is critical. The published ladder on BAG132 runs from $15.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $9.30 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
How should this be cared for?
Spot clean. Air dry. BAG132 measures 20" x 15" x 5" and is made of canvas. Canvas is the workhorse bag material: it takes weight, it takes abuse, and it looks better worn than new. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file.
Can you work to a fixed in-hand date?
Yes, and it is the right way to brief us. Tell us the date the box has to be open rather than the date you want it shipped, and checkout works the schedule backwards from there. It refuses a date it cannot keep rather than accepting it and missing it. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $12.00 a piece. The published ladder on BAG132 runs from $15.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $9.30 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout.
Do you ship to multiple addresses?
Yes, through a quote. Card checkout ships one order to one address, so for a split run send the address list with a quote request and we confirm the freight for every destination in writing before you pay. The artwork is proofed once and applied across the whole run. Ground freight is free on orders over $250.
Is there a setup charge?
No. Setup is free on every order at every quantity. Art preparation, machine setup and your digital proof are built into the price, with nothing added for them later. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout.
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on BAG132 is 5 in x 5 in. If your mark does not sit well in that shape we redraw or re-proportion it and show you the result on the proof before anything is produced. Engraving is charged on the share of the area your artwork covers, so a smaller mark costs less.
What is the minimum order for BAG132?
BAG132 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on BAG132 runs from $15.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $9.30 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on BAG132 is 5 in x 5 in.
