Calico Bags

Totes make up the core of the range: long-handle styles for shoulder carry, short-handle versions for hand carry, and gusseted options where extra volume matters. Beyond the tote, drawstring bags run from compact cotton pouches to single-bottle wine carriers, and backsack styles give a hands-free option for longer distances. Beach bags open wide for bulkier loads, fold-up styles compress flat for storage, and colouring-in bags add a personalisation option for events. Cotton gift bags in small and medium sizes round out the gifting end. Materials span natural cotton, cotton canvas, organic cotton, and recycled cotton, with each fibre carrying a different sustainability story that suits different charity briefs. Minimum orders start from 100 on most styles.

A charity supporter who buys a branded calico bag at a fundraiser carries the cause into every setting they take it to afterwards. At the supermarket, on the bus, at the farmers market: each time the bag comes out, the charity's name is there without the charity having to do anything further. That ongoing reach is disproportionate to the cost of the bag.

All styles can be branded. Screen printing works across the range. Organic and recycled cotton styles make the sustainability message tangible, which suits cause-led organisations communicating environmental values.

Before You Order

What is the minimum order for branded calico bags?

Most tote styles start at 100 units, making them accessible for smaller charity events and large-scale campaigns alike, with drawstring styles starting at 250. Some styles carry a 24-hour or 3-day express option at an additional charge.

How long do custom calico bags take to produce?

Regular production takes 10 business days from artwork approval. Express options carry an additional charge and are worth confirming on the specific style if timing around an event is tight.

What size calico bag suits a fundraising or awareness campaign?

Long-handle tote styles in a full shopping bag size give the most everyday carry value and get reused most often, while smaller cotton drawstring bags work well as product pouches or merchandise bags. Gift bag styles suit retail presentation and event hampers.

Can calico bags be ordered with an eco-friendly material for a charity with environmental values?

Organic cotton and recycled cotton styles sit within the range and give charities a material story that reinforces their environmental position. A recycled cotton bag at a conservation fundraiser communicates the cause through the object as well as the branding on it.
