Where a tote bag lands
Three Türkiye-facing audiences make a tote bag the right call. Nişantaşı and Bağdat Caddesi retail brands commission 200–2,000 unit programmes of a 220 gsm cotton tote as a customer-shopping bag. İstanbul's Levent–Maslak tech campuses commission 200–500 unit programmes of a 280 gsm cotton canvas tote as a new-hire welcome kit — the tote carries the brand on every commute. Trade-show swag at Tüyap and CNR Expo runs 1,000–10,000 unit programmes of a 220 gsm cotton tote as the bulk giveaway standard.
Fabric and GSM
Standard is a 100% cotton (220 gsm, 38×42 cm or 42×48 cm, 30 cm handle, base gusset). Premium is a 280 gsm cotton canvas (heavier, more durable). Heavyweight is a 380 gsm cotton canvas (executive programmes). Sustainability is a jute shopper (14 oz, with optional cotton lining). All tote bags are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 on request. We hold five stock colourways and Pantone dye-lot match for 1,000+ unit programmes.
Branding a tote bag
Silkscreen (one to four Pantone colours) is the default — Pantone-matched, plastisol-free OEKO-TEX inks. Heat-transfer (full-bleed photographic) handles complex logos and gradient artwork for retail launches, +TRY 12–18/unit. Embroidery on the upper hem (60×30 mm) is the premium move for executive programmes, +TRY 22/unit. Woven label (40×15 mm) sewn to a side seam is the discreet mark for premium.
