250 bags

250 printed tote bags

Q: Can I have 250 bags next week?

Yes, if you choose a bag from the express range . Express covers up to 500 of each bag and starts from the next working day. The Recycled Canvas Tote Bag above is one of them, in black or natural.

At 250 bags the price per bag is close to its lowest. The screen charge is spread so thinly that the bag itself becomes the biggest part of the cost, which makes 250 a good point to choose the bag you really want. The two tables put a lightweight shopper and a heavier canvas tote side by side.

Spend the saving on a better bag

Going from 100 to 250 bags cuts the price per bag a lot, because each screen is shared between two and a half times as many bags. Going from 250 to 500 cuts it much less. By 250, you've had most of the saving that quantity can give you.

That makes it a good moment to look at the bag. A 280gsm canvas tote stands up better, carries more and feels like something to keep rather than a freebie. If the bags are for resale or for your best customers, it's usually the better buy. Our bag weight guide explains what gsm means in the hand.

What 250 bags suits

Two hundred and fifty is where bags stop being a one-off and start being stock.

Shops and cafés. A season's supply of branded bags, or a tote to sell by the till. See printed carrier bags.
Merch. Venues, bands, breweries, bookshops and galleries that sell bags. At 250 there's room for a heavier bag and a sensible margin. See merch tote bags.
Conferences and exhibitions. Delegate bags for a mid-sized conference, or giveaways for two or three trade shows. See conference bags.
Universities and colleges. A freshers' fair stall, or a department's intake for the year.

If you'll hand them out over several months, the bags fold flat and store easily. Keep them somewhere dry.

Questions people ask

How much do 250 printed tote bags cost?

The tables above show live prices for 250 of two bags, in one to four colours, with screens included. For any other bag, type 250 into the quantity box on its page.

Is 250 or 500 better value?

Five hundred is a little lower per bag, but the gap is small compared with the step from 100 to 250. Order 500 if you'll use them. If not, 250 is the better use of your budget.

Can I have 250 bags next week?

Yes, if you choose a bag from the express range. Express covers up to 500 of each bag and starts from the next working day. The Recycled Canvas Tote Bag above is one of them, in black or natural.

Can I split 250 bags across two designs?

Yes, as two lines in the basket. Each design needs its own screens, so each line carries its own screen charge and is priced at its own quantity.

Do you match Pantone colours?

Yes. We match to your file, or to Pantone references if you give them. On a run of 250 for a brand, it's worth sending them. Pantone and spot colours explained.
