Pricing and Costs of Canvas Bags

Set aside the proper budget for buying canvas bags in bulk

Canvas tote bags make effective, affordable advertising and utility solutions for your business. Whether you're using wholesale canvas tote bags for advertising, value-added giveaways or to deliver goods, their durability ensures that your promotional messages will be around for years.

You'll need large numbers of custom imprinted canvas bags to carry out an effective marketing or give-away campaign. Once you're familiar with the pricing and costs of canvas bags you can budget for any of several pricing levels. Consider the costs and benefits of the following when pricing canvas bags:

1. Purchasing bulk canvas bags as utility products.

2. Creating custom imprinted canvas bags to distribute your company logo.

3. Buying high-end canvas bags at wholesale prices to outfit your employees and customers with the best.

 

Find the least expensive canvas bags for sale

The most basic (and least expensive) of canvas bag buying options is to purchase plain, unprinted canvas bags in bulk. Don't let the seemingly endless variety of style and color options dissuade you from finding the most value for your business dollar.
Try: Canvas bag distributors like Conventiontotes.com and Custom Specialties Company offer blank canvas bags at below wholesale prices. While canvas bags can be had for less than a dollar each, you may find higher quality and durability to be worth paying up to several dollars more for per unit.

Budget for custom printing on your canvas bags

Some distributors will bundle custom printing into the cost of their canvas bags; others will add an extra charge, so always ask whether the printing service involves additional fees. To avoid wasting money on incorrectly or poorly printed bags, insist on viewing and approving a proof or sample run before having a large quantity of bags printed.
Try: Prices--when buying canvas bags wholesale--vary so much that there is some overlap between price ranges for blank canvas bags and custom printed canvas bags. As a general rule, high quality custom printed bags will cost up to twice as much per unit as generic bags. InkHead Promotional Products sells customized canvas bags for just a few dollars apiece and ArtPromos.com offers custom screen-printing and imprinting of canvas tote bags to help you create your company's next great promotional product. Most wholesale canvas bag vendors, like these companies, expect you to purchase bags and have them custom printed at the same time.

Save on the high-end canvas shoulder bag market

Whether you're outfitting your own employees or giving high-end gifts to clients, sometimes quality needs to be your first consideration. Shop for features, durability and style first, then compare prices to find the best bargains.
Try: You'll find high-end canvas bags in a variety of styles from vendors like Absorbent, Ink. and GotApparel.com. If you find bags that you like on a consumer website, contact the manufacturer and ask for wholesale or bulk pricing for a business purchase.

 

• Don't forget that vendors need your valuable business. Whether you're buying blank canvas messenger bags or custom-printed canvas tote bags, don't hesitate to ask potential suppliers to beat a competitor's price or throw in perks like custom printing for free.
