Custom Laminated Tote Bags

Lamination is a thin film bonded over a tote's fabric, usually non-woven polypropylene. It adds a shiny or matte surface that wipes clean, resists water and makes colors look richer, so a laminated bag feels more like a boutique shopping bag than a giveaway.


The 25 totes here start from $1.49 for a mini pearl-finish tote. Finishes include high gloss, matte, iridescent and a style with a metallic silver base, and some are laminated inside and out for groceries. A laminated cotton tote rounds out the group.


Finishes and Sizes

  • Gloss: bright, shiny gift and shopper totes in 12 x 9 and 14 x 16 inch sizes for retail and boutiques.
  • Matte: a softer, upscale look on shopper and dual handle totes, several in recycled PET.
  • Iridescent and metallic: color-shifting gift totes and a large tote with a silver base for salons, jewelers and holiday events.
  • Wipe-clean grocery: jumbo and grocery totes laminated inside and out, plus 12 x 13 and 13 x 15 inch grocery bags for supermarkets.


Print Details

  • Screen printing: used on nearly all, and the smooth laminated surface keeps lines sharp and colors saturated.
  • Full color: offered on two styles, including a grocery tote with a vintage kitchen print.
  • Order details: minimums run from 50 to 300 bags with 10 to 17 days of production, and ten styles include recycled content.


Boutiques, bakeries, salons, pharmacies and specialty grocers use laminated totes in place of paper bags at checkout, while event planners pick the iridescent and metallic styles for VIP gift bags. Because the surface wipes clean, these hold up well for wet or messy loads such as produce and beach gear.
