Nutshell

Nutshell bags

Nutshell is the bag range from the wholesaler Ralawise, and we print twelve Nutshell bags in Leeds. Most are recycled cotton, from a 150gsm marl tote to 340gsm canvas, and three of those are on our express range. The rest are organic cotton and canvas, plus a denim tote.

The recycled range

Eight Nutshell bags are GRS certified 100% recycled cotton, and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 as well. They run from the 150gsm Recycled Cotton Marl Tote Bag, with its seven marl colours, to 340gsm recycled canvas on the Premium Recycled Contrast Strap Tote Bag, which has webbed straps and an inside pocket.

Three of them are on our express range: the Premium Recycled Cotton Tote Bag, and the Recycled Canvas Tote Bag and Premium Recycled Canvas Tote Bag in Black or Natural. Order before 1pm and approve your proof, and they can be printed and sent from the next working day. The Premium Recycled Canvas Stand Up Tote takes our standard turnaround. Recycled bags

Organic cotton and denim

Three Nutshell bags are GOTS certified organic cotton. The Organic Cotton Tote Bag is a 150gsm everyday tote, the Premium Organic Canvas Tote Bag is the same size in 340gsm canvas, and the Premium Organic Canvas Zip Tote Bag is a wide landscape bag with a brass zip, an inside pocket and webbed handles. Each comes in Black or Natural. See all our organic cotton bags.

The Premium Denim Tote Bag is 295gsm denim in Black or Indigo, with a flat base. Denim has a visible weave, so bold one or two-colour logos print best on it.
