Beach Tote Bags
Wholesale & Custom Manufacturing

MOQ depends on material, size, and decoration method, because those choices affect cutting yield, printing setup, and component sourcing. As a practical guide, many wholesale programs start around 200-1000 pcs per style. If you need multiple colorways, we can recommend the most efficient way to split quantities (for example, keeping one base pattern and changing color or labeling). Share your target material, logo method, and delivery window, and we will confirm an MOQ that fits your production plan.

Yes, mixed-color or mixed-design orders are common for retail assortments and promotional campaigns, but the best approach depends on your decoration method and material. For example, canvas and laminated programs may support multiple colorways efficiently if the base construction stays the same. When mixing is required, we recommend standardizing core components (handle spec, pocket pattern, zipper type) to keep quality consistent and reduce cost. We will advise how to structure SKUs so production stays smooth and lead time remains predictable.

For true beach function, mesh is popular because sand falls through and the bag dries quickly. Waterproof materials (EVA, TPU, or coated fabrics) work well for poolside and boating because they can be wiped or rinsed. Canvas is the most versatile for retail and branding, but it may hold moisture longer unless you choose a lining and breathable construction. The best choice depends on whether your customers prioritize quick-dry performance, premium look, or high-impact printing.

Yes. A canvas beach tote can be upgraded with a top zipper, magnetic snap, or tie closure, plus optional lining (standard fabric lining or wipe-clean lining). These upgrades are common for premium retail programs because they improve organization and perceived value. When adding a zipper, we confirm the opening width and zipper placement so the bag remains easy to pack. For lining, we recommend confirming pocket layout and stitch finishing during sampling to ensure a clean interior and durable seams.

Canvas typically supports screen print and embroidery very well, making it a strong option for crisp logos and premium finishes. Mesh often performs best with heat transfer labels, patches, or branding panels because the texture can reduce print sharpness on open weave. Straw-style weaves usually work best with labels, patches, or embroidery on added fabric trims. Laminated woven materials are strong for bold prints and all-over patterns. We confirm the best method during proofing so the logo looks correct and holds up under expected use.

Yes. Sampling is the safest way to confirm size, structure, and branding before you commit to volume. Typical steps include an artwork proof, a development sample, and for larger programs, a pre-production sample that becomes the final reference for bulk output. During sampling, we also confirm practical details like handle comfort, pocket usability, and whether the chosen logo method matches the material texture. This process helps prevent rework and keeps reorders consistent.

Lead time depends on complexity (pockets, zippers, lining), material availability, and order quantity. As a general guide, samples may take around 7-14 days and mass production can range from 15-45 days after approval. Peak season can extend timelines, so early planning is helpful for summer campaigns. If you have a fixed delivery window, tell us the target date and destination and we will recommend a construction plan that fits the schedule without increasing risk.

Yes. Organizer features are one of the easiest ways to differentiate a tote. Popular requests include an inner zip pocket for valuables, an exterior slip pocket for sunscreen, a bottle pocket, and a key leash. For a beach tote with pockets, we recommend keeping the main front panel clean for branding while placing pockets on the inside or on the back panel. Pocket choices affect sewing time and cost, so we will help you select the best mix for your target price tier.

Packing can be configured for your channel. For simple bulk distribution, totes are often packed in individual polybags and master cartons with clear carton marks. For retail programs, we can support retail-ready folding, belly bands, hangtags, and barcode labeling. If you ship to fulfillment centers, we can align carton labeling and packing plans to reduce receiving friction. Share your packing requirements early so we can build them into the quote and sampling plan.

Yes. Recycled fabrics (such as rPET) can be used as main fabric, lining, or webbing depending on the style and target price point. Sustainability-led programs often combine recycled materials with clean branding like woven labels or small prints. Because recycled materials can vary by supplier lot, we recommend confirming color and texture during sampling and locking a material spec for reorders. If you have specific claims or labeling requirements, share them so we can plan the right materials and trims.
