AS Colour Parcel Tote | 1000

Description

The AS Colour Parcel Tote is the canvas bag that doesn’t apologize for being substantial. At 320GSM, this is noticeably heavier than the throwaway cotton totes that end up in a drawer — it’s the kind of bag that becomes part of someone’s daily rotation. The weight gives screen prints a stable foundation and tells customers their purchase came from somewhere that pays attention to details.

Who Orders It

Coffee roasters and specialty food retailers use these as retail packaging that doubles as brand exposure. Boutiques and concept stores order them as shopping bags that customers actually reuse. Nonprofit organizations run them as donor gifts and event giveaways. Wine clubs and subscription boxes include them as part of the unboxing experience. Creative agencies and design studios print them for client gifts and internal swag. Record labels and independent bookstores stock them as merchandise that carries the brand into the world.

Decoration

The 320GSM cotton takes screen printing exceptionally well — heavy enough to prevent ink bleed-through, with a weave tight enough to hold fine detail. Water-based and discharge inks sit particularly clean on this fabric weight. DTG prints well on natural colorways with standard pretreatment. Embroidery works for smaller logos on the upper portion, though the flat construction of a tote means you’ll want to avoid placement too close to the handles where stitching meets stress points.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on this tote?
Screen printing is the clear winner here. The 320GSM weight handles ink beautifully without bleed-through, and the flat print surface means consistent results across large runs. Water-based inks give a softer hand-feel if that matters for your brand.

Is this sturdy enough for retail use?
Yes — this is built for repeated use, not single-trip grocery runs. The fabric weight and reinforced handles mean it holds up as a daily carry bag, which is exactly why retailers and subscription services choose it as branded packaging.

How does this compare to cheaper promotional totes?
Night and day. Standard promo totes run 4–5oz. This is 320GSM (roughly 9.4oz) — almost double the fabric weight. Your customers will feel the difference immediately, and the print quality reflects it.

What’s the minimum order for custom decoration?
We work with programs from 12 pieces. Most decorated apparel programs start at 24–50 pieces. Request a quote and we’ll work with your specific order size.
