A recycled cotton shopping bag with a gusset, long shoulder handles and a distinctive recycled cotton label sewn onto the seam. It measures 380 by 420 mm with an 80 mm base for around 8 litres of capacity, and the fabric is 100 percent recycled cotton at 140 gsm.

The gusset is what separates this from a flat tote: with a base the bag takes boxes, lunch containers and bottles standing upright instead of forcing everything into a single layer. The sewn label states the recycled content on the product itself, so the sustainability claim travels with the bag rather than being lost with the packaging.

Nine colours are available, including black, blue, orange, red, green, light blue, natural, pink and yellow, which makes it a workhorse for large mixed distributions: retail carriers, market stalls, school and university events, festival merchandise and campaign giveaways. Charities and public bodies use the recycled cotton spec to meet procurement requirements, while consumer brands use the colour range to match seasonal artwork.

The flat front panel takes a large screen print, and embroidery is possible for smaller marks. MerchRepublic prints your artwork, packs and ships in bulk across the EU. Send us your design, colour split and quantity for a quotation.
