Custom reusable shopping bags in Singapore come in two practical materials: non-woven bags from about SGD 1.14 a bag at 1,000, and canvas tote bags from about SGD 3.46 a bag at 1,000, both printed full colour with your logo. The minimum is 100 bags for either material, where non-woven works out at about SGD 2.31 a bag and canvas at about SGD 5.08. Non-woven suits events and giveaways; canvas suits bags people will keep and carry for years.

How much do custom reusable bags cost in Singapore?

At 1,000 bags printed on one side, non-woven is about SGD 1.14 a bag (SGD 1,141 for the run) and canvas about SGD 3.46 a bag. At the 100-bag minimum, non-woven is about SGD 2.31 and canvas about SGD 5.08 a bag. The price per bag falls as the quantity rises because the setup is paid once. Current rates are on the non-woven bag page and the tote bag printing page.

Which reusable bag material should I choose?

Choose by how long the bag needs to last. A non-woven bag is the low-cost way to put a logo into hundreds of hands at a roadshow, a seminar or a store opening, and it is sturdy enough for repeat grocery runs. A canvas tote costs about three times as much but feels like a product rather than packaging; people keep it, wash it and carry it in public, which is where a printed logo earns its cost. For staff gifts and branded merchandise, canvas is usually the better spend. The two are compared in more detail on the tote bag printing page.

How is the logo printed on a reusable bag?

In full colour, so a multi-colour logo or a photograph costs the same as a one-colour mark. On non-woven bags the image is applied by heat transfer, in print sizes from a small logo up to A4 on the face of the bag. Printing on both sides costs more: at 1,000 non-woven bags it is about SGD 1,550 for two sides against SGD 1,141 for one. Send a print-ready PDF or AI file with the logo in vector form so edges stay sharp at every size.

How many bags do I need to order?

The minimum is 100 bags for either material. Most event orders sit between 300 and 2,000. If the bag will be handed out at more than one event, order the full year’s quantity in one run: the per-bag price at 1,000 is roughly half the price at 100 for non-woven.

What are custom reusable bags used for?

Event and conference bags; roadshow and store-opening giveaways; retail carrier bags that replace plastic; corporate gifts and welcome kits; school, community and charity events; and merchandise sold at markets. Since Singapore introduced a charge for disposable carrier bags at larger supermarkets in 2023, branded reusable bags have become a practical gift rather than a novelty.

How long does a reusable bag order take?

Non-woven bags can be turned around quickly for urgent events; tell us the event date with the artwork and we confirm the delivery date before you pay. Canvas totes take longer. Large runs, two-sided printing and peak seasons before Chinese New Year and year-end add time, so order early when the date is fixed.
