Collection: Custom Tote Bags — Embroidered & Printed Logo Totes

Custom tote bags are logo-decorated canvas and poly tote bags sold in bulk for businesses, embroidered or DTF (Direct to Film) printed with your logo. Embroidery has a 6-piece minimum per style (mixable across colors), and DTF printing has no minimum at all — order a single tote if that's what you need. Businesses use them for trade show giveaways, client and employee gifts, and retail or event merchandise. At Wholesale Caps and Embroidery, we've decorated tote bags in-house from our Houston facility since 1979 — every order gets a free digital mockup before production starts.

Wholesale Caps and Embroidery decorates tote bags two ways: embroidery or DTF (Direct to Film) printing — no screen printing, no patches, no puff. Our current tote lineup is a focused, hand-picked selection rather than a huge catalog: the OGIO Downtown Tote, the Port Authority Day Tote, and the OGIO Ladies Melrose Tote. Embroidered orders start at 6 pieces per style, mixable across colors within that style — DTF-printed orders have no minimum at all, so a single tote is a normal order.

Totes work well for trade show swag, client and employee gifts, brand promotions, and retail add-ons — a tote is something people actually reuse, which keeps your logo visible long after the event ends. Because most orders need sign-off from a manager or marketing lead before anyone spends money, use the built-in customizer to build your full order, save it as a shareable quote with mockup images attached, and send the link to whoever needs to approve it before you submit.

Every tote order starts with a free digital proof of your logo on the actual product, so you approve the exact look before we run it. Standard production is 7 to 10 business days, with rush turnaround available if you're working against an event date. Decorated tote orders ship free — no extra shipping charges tacked on at checkout.

Browse our three current tote styles below, or look at the wider Custom Bags hub if you need something with more structure, like a backpack, duffel bag, messenger bag, golf bag, or a cooler for outdoor and tailgate programs.

Tote Bag Styles Available

Our tote selection is intentionally small: the OGIO Downtown Tote, the Port Authority Day Tote, and the OGIO Ladies Melrose Tote. That's three well-chosen styles rather than dozens of near-duplicates, each one decorated to order with your logo. If you need a tote style outside this lineup, call us at 713-923-5555 and we'll help you source it.

Decoration Methods

All decoration happens in-house at our Houston facility. No outsourcing, no middlemen.

• Embroidery — a stitched logo on canvas and structured tote panels. 6-piece minimum per style, mixable across colors.
• DTF (Direct to Film) — a full-color, photo-realistic heat transfer, best for logos with gradients or multiple colors. No minimum — order just one tote if that's all you need.

We do not offer screen printing, patches, or 3D puff embroidery on tote bags — those are cap-only decoration options.

Popular Uses for Custom Tote Bags

Our customers order custom tote bags for trade show and conference giveaways, client and employee gifts, retail and boutique merchandise, charity and fundraiser events, and corporate event attendee kits — any program that benefits from a functional, reusable branded bag.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are custom tote bags?
Custom tote bags are canvas or poly bags decorated with your company logo via embroidery or DTF (Direct to Film) printing at our Houston facility, with a free digital mockup before production.

What decoration methods are available for tote bags?
We decorate tote bags two ways: embroidery for a stitched, professional logo on canvas panels, and DTF (Direct to Film) printing for full-color, photo-realistic logos. We do not offer screen printing or patches on tote bags — those are cap-only options.

What is the minimum order for custom tote bags?
Embroidery has a 6-piece minimum per style, and you can mix colors within that style to hit it — for example, 3 navy and 3 black totes of the same style counts as one 6-piece order. DTF (Direct to Film) printing has no minimum at all, so a single tote is a completely normal order.

Can I get approval from my team before ordering?
Yes. Build your full tote order in our online customizer, save it as a shareable quote with mockup images attached, and send the link to your manager or team for sign-off before you submit the order.

Do you keep my artwork on file for reorders?
Yes. Once we've digitized or set up your logo for embroidery or DTF, we keep the file on hand so reorders move straight to production without resubmitting artwork.

Can I order multiple tote styles or colors with the same logo?
Yes. You can run the same logo across all three of our current tote styles and any color combination. Every embroidered piece counts toward that style's 6-piece minimum, and DTF-printed pieces have no minimum at all.

What is your turnaround time for custom tote bags?
Standard production is 7 to 10 business days after you approve your free digital mockup, with rush turnaround available for tighter event deadlines.

How many tote bag styles do you carry?
We currently carry three tote styles — the OGIO Downtown Tote, the Port Authority Day Tote, and the OGIO Ladies Melrose Tote — a focused lineup rather than a large catalog. If you need something outside these three, call 713-923-5555 and we'll help you find it.
