With a variety of in-stock fabric types, from cotton canvas to a canvas woven from recycled plastic bottles (and even a blend of both materials), we can handle most any material preference and meet your holding strength requirement–for all types of imprinting and embroidery. All of our 10 oz and 15 oz cotton canvas materials are woven and dyed specially for us. We stock a wide range of colors for standard orders, with even more fabrics and colors available by special order. Call us for details! We’ve been making bags for 30 years, so we’ve got tote bag material down to a science.
Cotton Canvas 10 oz
Cotton canvas is the most popular and economical material choice for our tote bag products. Our 10 oz cotton canvas is USA-made and specially woven for Enviro-Tote. The extra yarn and tight weave make our 10 oz comparable to other companies’ 12 oz weight. The tighter weave is also a good fabric to use for most any print application. It’s versatile enough for any of our bag styles.

Organic Cotton 10 oz
Our 100% certified organic cotton is grown in Texas. By supporting the organic cotton industry, we hope to contribute to a healthier planet by reducing the number of cotton bags produced with synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. Organic cotton farming relies on crop rotation, crop residues, animal manures, compost, nitrogen-fixing legume crops, mechanical cultivation, botanical or biological controls with minimum adverse effects on health and environment. Our organic cotton is only available in Natural color. Additional colors may be available upon special order.

100% Recycled PET (Bottle Bag™) 9 oz
Our own Bottle Bag™ material is made from 100% recycled PET, the plastic bottles that we recycle every day! The Bottle Bag™ fabric offers comfort, ease of care, durability, softness, a rich-looking appearance, and keeps waste out of landfills. It is also entirely made in the USA. Ask for Bottle Bag™ material by name! Available in white.

Recycled Cotton/PET Blend 10 oz
This fabric is made from a 65% blend of cotton yarn produced from the excess fabric of newly made clothing, and 35% Bottle Bag™ material (made from 100% recycled PET bottles). Recycled cotton is recovered cotton that would be wasted during the spinning, weaving, and cutting processes. This eco-friendly material saves land, energy, water, and keeps waste out of landfills. Our recycled cotton is only available in Natural color.

Lightweight Poly-Cotton 7 oz
Our lightweight poly-cotton canvas is the most cost-effective material we stock. It is a polyester-cotton blend that is durable, but less-structured than our 10 oz canvases. This material can be folded nicely!

Spun Poly Handles
We use 1″ wide Spun Poly handles that look and feel like cotton webbing, except these handles are softer and don’t fray. They’re safer in the sun, rain, and washing machine, too! Choose matching or contrasting handle colors, specially dyed to accompany our 10 oz and 15 oz colored cotton canvas material. For an additional fee, we can customize your totes with canvas handles made from the material of the bag, or we can use 1.5″ wide spun poly handles for larger bags. Please note: 1.5″ wide handles are available in only Natural and Black. Totes with non-standard handles require a custom quote.

Washing Instructions
Our cotton canvas bags may lose their shape and shrink slightly when washed in a washing machine. If your cotton totes must be washed, they should be hand-washed inside out with cold water and line-dried. Our Bottle Bag™ canvas is machine-washer friendly. Note on colored canvas material: While our colored Spun-Poly handles are color-fast, our colored cotton canvas materials are NOT guaranteed color-fast.
