Shipping and lead time
Regular stock is held in the USA, ships free across the USA, and leaves the warehouse within 24 to 48 hours of the order being confirmed, so you skip the overseas freight and multi-week lead times that erase the apparent saving on cheaper import quotes. The Boise clearance lots are the exception: they are collected or freighted by the buyer, so no free shipping applies to them. Printed runs ship to the date confirmed on your quote, which starts once you approve the artwork proof. Working to a fixed event date? Tell us the date in the form above and we will confirm before you commit.
Printing and artwork
These ship blank and undecorated, ready for your own decorator. Screen printing suits bold, flat logos in one or two colours and is the most economical option at volume; more detailed or multi-colour artwork reproduces better digitally. If you would rather we print them, send your file with the quote request and we will confirm the method, colour count and unit price, then send a proof before anything goes on press. See custom printed cotton tote bags or branded corporate totes, and check the imprint area guide before sizing your artwork.

Questions buyers ask
How much is the Boise clearance lot of cotton tote bags?
The 15 x 16 inch lot is about 19,000 bags at $0.48 each, which is $9,120. The 9 x 11 inch lot is about 9,000 bags at $0.28 each, which is $2,520. Taking both lots together is $11,640. Each lot sells complete, not by the box.
Can I buy part of the clearance lot?
No. The clearance stock sells as a whole lot, so the per-bag prices are there to show how the lot price is built up. If you need a smaller quantity, ask about regular wholesale stock instead, which starts at 200 units.
Why is there no add to cart button?
Because the lots sell whole and we confirm quantities, collection and payment with you directly. Send the tote bag quote form on this page with the lot you want and we come back the same or next business day with everything in writing.
Where is the clearance stock and who pays for delivery?
It sits in a warehouse in Boise, Idaho. Collection or freight is the buyer's responsibility, so the lot price does not include delivery. You are welcome to inspect the bags in person in the Boise area by appointment before you commit.
Can I get a sample of the clearance bags first?
Yes. We post samples of both sizes free of charge so you can check the cotton, the stitching and the handles yourself. Ask for samples in the form above and tell us where to send them.
Are the clearance bags branded?
They are blank on every printable panel, but each bag has a small fabric label stitched into the side seam from the order they were made for. If that matters for your use, unpick it or tell us and we will send a sample so you can judge it.
Can I return the clearance bags?
No. Clearance stock is sold as-is with no returns, which is why we offer free samples and an in-person inspection first. Regular wholesale stock is covered by our normal terms.
How much do wholesale cotton tote bags cost?
On regular stock the 9x11 inch tote is about $0.85 per bag at 200 units and $0.60 per bag by the 500-unit case. The 15x16 inch tote is about $0.95 per bag at 200 units and $0.75 per bag by the 350-unit case. Prices keep falling at 1,000, 2,500 and 5,000+ units and are confirmed on a quote.
What weight are these cotton tote bags?
Regular stock is 145 GSM (about 4.3 oz per square yard) natural woven cotton. The Boise clearance lots are 140 GSM in a 60/60 x 20/20 construction. Both weights are heavy enough for real daily use and light enough to keep freight costs down on bulk orders.
Do the tote bags come printed or blank?
They ship blank and undecorated, ready for your decorator or in-house print shop. If you would rather we print your logo, say so in the quote form and we will confirm the method, colour count and unit price.
How quickly do blank totes ship?
Regular blank stock is held in the USA and dispatched within 24 to 48 hours of the order being confirmed, with free shipping across the USA. Clearance lots are collected from Boise on a date we agree with you.
