Canvas & Tote Bags · MOQ 500 pcs
Autumn artwork on the same 10oz cotton canvas body: rust, ochre and deep olive printed as a repeat, a chest mark or a border, with foil and embroidery quoted as their own lines on the $0.40–1.20 family band.
Colourways
Overview
Autumn is the easiest festive palette to print well, and the reason is contrast. Rust, ochre, deep olive and cream sit close together in tone, so they read as one warm block rather than as competing colours, and two or three screens are usually enough for a convincing field. Motifs that survive a repeat are grain, wheat, oak and maple leaf, and a loose plaid or a herringbone border — all of them line-based, which is what screen print does best. Kraft-toned or natural cloth suits this season more than any other, and it is also the cheapest body to buy.
The commercial case for this bag is that it is not really only a Thanksgiving item. The same body and the same warm palette run through harvest, farm-shop and grocery programmes for months, and a hostess-gift bag sold in November is often the same specification a food brand reorders in the spring with different artwork. That is the point of building a festive range on one body size: the tooling is paid once, and each season buys artwork rather than structure. If your retail month is November, artwork should be approved by early July for sea freight; the autumn window closes faster than buyers expect because it sits directly behind Q4 Christmas bookings.

Variants
Grain, wheat and leaf motifs printed as a loose field. Two screens, one natural body, and the cheapest convincing festive look in the range.
A woven-look check printed along the top and bottom edges with a plain centre panel for your mark — useful when the bag doubles as a grocery or farm-shop carrier.
A smaller body with a short or rope handle, sized around a bottle, a jar or a boxed bake. Sold as the gift rather than the carrier.
One mark, one or two screens, foil optional, packed to a distribution list. Annual reorder on the same screens.
Materials
| Option | What it means |
|---|---|
| 10oz kraft-toned canvas | Warm, seasonal and forgiving of two-colour artwork. The body most autumn ranges are built on. |
| 10oz natural canvas | Brighter base for ochre and rust, and the same cloth as the rest of the tote range, which keeps a multi-season programme on one specification. |
| 12oz heavyweight canvas | Where the bag is expected to be reused as a grocery carrier after the season. More cloth, more carton volume, same print set-up. |
| Recycled or organic cotton options | Available to your specification; ask for the current certificate for the exact fabric rather than for the factory as a whole. |
Best for
A bag that holds a bottle, a bake or a candle and is handed over as the gift itself, bought in the hundreds by gifting buyers.
Harvest artwork lands with the season and the bag stays in use after it, which is the cheapest brand impression in the range.
Autumn sits neatly between summer events and December gifting, and the palette reads as appreciation rather than as a holiday.
Retailers who sell through the autumn order by the hundred and reorder mid-season, so keeping the screens on file matters.
Sizing
| Dimension | Guidance |
|---|---|
| Carried bag | 320×380mm and up for a grocery or market load, with a 180–250mm handle drop. |
| Gift bag | 250×250mm to 300×300mm around a bottle, jar or boxed bake; the cheapest cloth per piece. |
| Gusset | Bottom gusset to stand on a counter; side and bottom gussets once the bag carries a box. Each panel is quoted separately. |
| Border width | A printed border needs a flat margin on the panel. Decide the margin with the artwork, because the screen is made to that position. |

The December version of our standard cotton tote: same 10oz canvas body and reinforced handles, different artwork. Print a repeated snowflake, pine or plaid field, a chest mark in gold foil, or an embroidered motif. Festive decoration is set up per colour and per artwork, so the run starts at 500 pcs per design, and a repeat order in the same artwork reuses the screens and dies for nothing.
The spring version of the same cotton tote, built for egg hunts, gift-with-purchase offers and spring retail floors. Pastel and botanical artwork prints cleanly on natural 10oz canvas; a small chest mark, a botanical repeat or a block-colour body all work. Decorated runs start at 500 pcs per design because each colour and each die is set up once, and repeat orders reuse them free.
A heavyweight, wide-bodied canvas bag with reinforced handles and full-colour printing or embroidery. This is the end of the range where fabric weight, print coverage and handle engineering are all paid for, and where corporate gifting and brand retail programmes reorder on an annual cycle.
