Handout bags and keepers

Liberty Bags anchors the category, and its range splits two ways: lightweight totes (poly cruisers, non-woven, clear stadium bags) for handout volume, and heavier cotton canvas built to sell at retail. Drawstring cinch packs round out the wall for teams, camps, and conference kits.

The styles that matter

The workhorses are the cotton canvas totes: the Susan (8861) and Katelyn (8501) canvas totes are the proven embroidery-and-screen-print bodies, sturdy enough to sell at retail. When the order needs closure, step to a zippered duffel; for event volume, switch to the lightweight poly cruiser (7002) or a non-woven tote and put the spend into quantity.

Decoration & buying notes

A tote is one flat panel, so keep art inside the seams and clear of the gusset. Natural (unbleached) canvas warms up ink colors; proof on the actual shade. Heavy canvas takes screen print and embroidery equally well, while lightweight cotton is best kept to one-color prints.

Heat-press work needs a pad or pillow to bridge handles and seams, and polyester drawstring packs want low-temp applications. Bags carry small minimums and big perceived value, so quote them as the add-on line on every event order.
