Canvas bags have been around in a variety of shapes and sizes for hundreds of years, and the canvas tote bag in particular, has gained a lot popularity in recent years. The word ‘tote’ actually means to carry, and has its roots way back in the 17th century.

What canvas bags were, and what they’ve become

While canvas bags were used primarily for practical purposes, nowadays, while still being incredibly useful and enabling us to transport items safely from a to b, they are about so much more than practicality. Providing us with the opportunity to advertise a business or message on them, over time, printed canvas bags have become a fantastically effective advertising tool and a fashion statement, too.

For example, in New York City in the 1980’s, there was an iconic and celebrated bookstore called the Strand Bookstore, which began manufacturing and selling its own line of canvas tote bags with a variety of designs emblazoned proudly across them. When first launched, the bags displayed the store’s red logo along with the tagline: ’18 miles of books’. As perhaps one of the world’s first examples of printed canvas bag advertising, it became hugely popular, and other companies soon caught on to the idea, and began advertising their own businesses on canvas bags to give out to their customers.

While the bookstore’s first line of tote bags was only big enough to hold a couple of books, they grew bigger over the years, and you can still people from all walks of life proudly carrying their large canvas tote bags.

The printed canvas bag as a form of advertising

Nowadays, with the popularity of the canvas bag seemingly never having wavered, more and more businesses of all sizes are choosing to have their logos, messages and images professionally printed onto a selection of canvas bags to give as gifts to loyal customers, or to encourage new ones to begin buying from them.

Affordable, and with so many printing options available, what better way to show your brand to the world, than with a printed canvas bag?

Canvas bag printing for a cause

For charitable organizations or individuals linked to a charitable cause, canvas bag printing is a great way to promote a message that not only spreads awareness about a certain issue or cause, but can help raise funds for organizations, too.

You can even buy bags that are made from recycled materials, and if you’re concerned about the preservation of the planet, canvas bags are the perfect type of gift, since they can be continually reused, washed and reused again.

To get your message across to a wider audience, or promote your brand or charitable organization in a highly effective and affordable way, canvas bag printing is a fantastic option.
