Heavy canvas or organic cotton that’s thick enough to hold weight

Everyone does tote bags. People have dozens of promotional tote bags shoved in closets that never get used. The issue isn’t tote bags themselves though, it’s that most are flimsy junk that rips carrying groceries one time. Actually decent canvas bags still make sense as giveaways.

Heavy canvas or organic cotton that’s thick enough to hold weight, won’t fall apart after minimal use. People use quality tote bags for years. Screen printing lasts better than heat transfers that peel off in the wash. Inside pockets add functionality, reinforced straps prevent the handles ripping off. These details separate actually useful bags from more tote bag clutter. Size matters too. Giant bags are awkward to carry around, tiny bags don’t hold enough stuff to bother with. Medium sized works for groceries, gym clothes, books, general everyday things. You could do different sizes for different prize levels at the same event but that complicates ordering and figuring out distribution at the actual event.
