How much does tote bag printing cost in Singapore?
Printed canvas tote bags work out at about $3.46 a bag for 1,000, full colour on one side. Small runs cost more per bag: 100 bags are around $5.08 each. If budget matters more than feel, non-woven bags run at roughly $1.14 a bag for 1,000. Minimum order is 100 either way.
The price per bag stops falling at about 1,000. Below that you are spreading the print setup across too few bags; above it the saving per bag is a few cents. That makes 1,000 the quantity most orders settle on.
Canvas or non-woven, which should I choose?
Canvas if the bag is the gift, non-woven if the bag is the wrapper. At 1,000 bags, canvas costs about $3.46 each and non-woven about $1.14. You are paying roughly three times as much for a bag people keep and reuse.
Canvas is a woven cotton fabric with real weight to it. It survives a supermarket run, it washes, and people carry it for years, which is the whole point of a branded bag. Non-woven is a bonded polypropylene sheet, light and slightly plasticky, and it does the job for a single event or as packaging for something else.
The honest test is what happens the week after. If the bag goes home and gets used, canvas earns its cost many times over because your logo keeps travelling. If it gets emptied and put in a drawer, you have overspent by three times and non-woven was the right call.
What sizes do the canvas tote bags come in?
Three stock sizes, given as width by height by gusset: small 34 x 36 x 8cm, medium 42 x 47 x 14cm, and large 62 x 44 x 16cm. Custom sizes are quoted on request.
Small suits a book, a bottle and a notebook, which covers most conference and workshop giveaways. Medium is the everyday shopping size and the one most retail brands pick. Large at 62cm wide is a beach and laundry bag; it looks generous but check your artwork still reads at that scale, because a logo sized for the small bag can look lost on it.
The third number is the gusset, the depth when the bag opens out. The 8cm gusset on the small bag holds flat items comfortably; if you are packing a box, a bottle or anything bulky, the 14cm or 16cm gusset is worth the step up.
How big can the printed area be?
From a small logo panel up to A4, which is 297 x 210mm. A4 is the largest standard print area and it covers most of the front of the medium bag.
Bigger is not automatically better. A logo printed at A6 on a plain bag often reads as a considered brand, while the same logo blown up to A4 reads as merchandise. If you want the bag carried in public rather than used for storage, keep the print restrained and let the bag do the work.
Can you print both sides of a tote bag?
Yes. One side is the standard price; printing both sides adds roughly 20 percent to the bag cost at most quantities.
Before paying for it, think about how a tote is carried. It hangs against the leg or sits on a shoulder, so one face is visible at a time and the back is often crushed against the body. A second print earns its place when the bag will sit on a table at an event, or when the back carries something useful like a QR code or a programme rather than a repeat of the logo.
What is the minimum order for printed tote bags?
100 bags, for canvas and non-woven alike.
At 100 canvas bags you are paying about $5.08 each against $3.46 at 1,000, because the screen or print setup is the same work either way. If the bags are for a recurring event rather than a one-off, ordering the year in one run is considerably cheaper than ordering each time.
How do I send artwork for tote bag printing?
Send vector artwork as a PDF, AI or EPS file with fonts outlined, sized to the print area you want. Raster files need to be 300dpi at final print size.
Fabric is not paper, so two things behave differently. Fine lines and small text below about 6pt can fill in or break up on a woven surface, so thicken hairlines before you send. And colours sit differently on natural canvas than on white paper, because the fabric itself is a warm off-white rather than bright white. If you have a Pantone reference, send it and we will match as closely as the fabric allows.
How long does tote bag printing take?
Bags are produced and printed to order rather than pulled from stock, so confirm the date with us when you enquire, and tell us if you are tied to an event.
Work backwards from your date and leave room for a proof. If your deadline is tight, say so at the quote stage rather than after artwork approval, because that is when we can still do something about it.
Can I collect the bags, or do you deliver?
Both. Collect from our office at LINK@AMK, 3 Ang Mo Kio Street 62, #02-02, Singapore 569139, or we deliver anywhere in Singapore from S$8.
A thousand canvas bags is bulky and heavy, so for anything above a few hundred delivery is usually the sensible choice. We print the rest of what an event or a shop needs too, so one supplier covers your bags alongside stickers, swing tags, name cards and paper bags.

Yes. Single-sided is the standard price and double-sided adds roughly 20 percent to the bag cost at most quantities.
What file format should I send for tote bag printing?
Vector artwork as PDF, AI or EPS with fonts outlined, sized to the print area. Raster images need to be 300dpi at final print size. Thicken any hairlines, because fine lines can break up on woven fabric.
