Corporate gifting doesn’t need to be a difficult task. In fact, some of the best gifts are simple-yet-quality items that your audience will find useful.
Custom tote bags, for example.
Branded tote bags are a versatile gift—you can gift one on its own, as part of a company swag package, or you can even use it as the bag itself and create swag bags for events.
The choice is yours!
Below are 20 of our favorite branded tote bags you can add to your gifting repertoire. But first, let’s dive into what makes branded tote bags a fantastic gift.
What is a tote bag?
Tote bag definitions may vary depending on who you ask. However, it’s loosely defined as a mid to large-size bag with two parallel handles on either side of the bag. They’re generally unfastened at the top and are one of the bigger sizes of handbags on the market.
Tote bags can be made from just about any material—we often see canvas, leather, cotton, and even denim tote bags.
Why do people use tote bags?
Of all the handbag styles, tote bags are one of the most versatile. Depending on the material you choose, they can be used for so many different things, including:
- Groceries
- Shopping
- The beach
- Picnics
- Traveling
On top of all of these versatile uses, the right tote bag can be used as a fashionable accessory, too!
Tote bags are also highly durable—especially canvas, which is one of the most popular materials used in their construction. If you’re looking for the ideal durable bag for a gifting package, the branded tote bag is the best choice.
Finally, for the environmentally conscious, tote bags offer many different eco-friendly options. Canvas tote bags, for example, are completely biodegradable—the perfect gift for your environmentally conscious clients and employees!
