Often, you’ll see weights used to describe cotton. These numbers are used to help consumers determine the strength of the fabric. From lightweight cotton to heavyweight cotton, there are varying degrees of cotton strength.
The weight that you choose will simply depend on what you’re looking for from your custom cotton tote bags. While lightweight bags may be best for your budget, you may decide a heavyweight cotton bag is the top-tier quality you’re looking to offer clients. Here’s a quick guide to cotton weights to help you choose the right promotional cotton tote bags for your business or event
3-5 ounces: Lightweight fabric that is often budget-friendly, but less durable than heavier fabric. (See our 4 oz. Full Colour Yukon Cotton Bag)
6-9 ounces: Standard cotton fabric that is well-suited to shopping bags or convention totes.
10+ ounces: Heavyweight fabric that has the most strength for carrying large loads, making it perfect for drawstring backpacks and shopping bags. (See our 10 oz. Full Colour Keva Natural Cotton Tote)
