100 bags

100 printed tote bags

A hundred bags is a common size for events, launches and clubs. It's also where a second ink colour starts to make sense: the screen charge is shared between enough bags that each extra colour adds a modest amount. The table shows live prices from 75 to 200 bags.

What 100 bags suits

A conference or an awards night with 80 or so guests, plus spares for speakers and staff.
A shop or café opening. One for each of your first customers, with some kept behind the counter.
A club season. Members, new joiners and a few to sell at the clubhouse.
A year group or a leavers' bag with one shared design, such as every name on the back.
A charity fun run or open day, where the bag holds the goody pack.

If you're not sure of numbers, count heads and add about ten per cent. Extra bags cost far less than the first ones did, so it's better to have a few left over than to run short. See how many bags to order for an event.

One colour or two?

At 100 bags, a second colour is often worth it. This is how we'd decide.

Think about	One colour	Two colours
Your logo	Works in a single ink: a wordmark, a line drawing, a stamp	Has two colours that both matter to your brand
The bag	One strong ink on natural or white, or white ink on black	Two inks that both show up well on the bag colour you picked
The price	The lowest total	One more screen, plus a small extra charge on each bag
Best for	Giveaways, events, tight budgets	Retail, merch, brands that live in two colours

Try it with your own numbers in the colour cost tool, or read printing on dark bags if you're choosing black.

Two bag colours in one order

A popular idea at 100 bags is 50 in one colour and 50 in another, such as natural and black. You can do it: add each colour to your basket as its own line. Each bag colour is its own print run, so each carries its own screen charge and is priced as 50 bags, not 100.

If the two bag colours need different inks anyway (dark ink on natural, white ink on black), splitting makes sense. If the same ink works on both, price 100 in one colour first and compare. The Cotton Tote Bag Long Handle comes in 48 colours, so there's usually one that suits everyone.

Questions people ask

How much do 100 printed tote bags cost?

The table above has live prices for 100 Cotton Tote Bag Long Handle bags in one to four colours, screens included. For any other bag, open its page and type 100 into the quantity box.

Is it worth ordering 150 instead of 100?

Only if you'll use them. The price per bag keeps falling above 100, but more slowly than below it. The table shows both, so compare the totals rather than the price per bag.

How long will 100 bags take?

Standard turnaround is 7 to 10 working days from approved artwork. Bags in our express range can be printed from the next working day, and express covers up to 500 of each bag.

Can I print on both sides?

Yes. The same design on both sides reuses the screens, so it only adds a print charge on each bag. Double-sided printing has live prices.

Can I pay by invoice?

You can pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or bank transfer. Schools, councils and larger organisations can pay against a purchase order and invoice: ask us.
