Promotional cotton bags are practical for carrying event materials, small purchases or gifts, and can feature a company or organisation logo. The products shown include classic cotton designs, bags made with recycled cotton and a foldable option. Their construction varies, so the first consideration is what people will actually carry in them.
Compare dimensions, handle length, base design and fabric weight where specified. For personalisation, the available printable area and the complexity of the artwork also matter; the appropriate printing method must be checked for the particular bag.

How to choose a cotton bag for its intended use
First decide whether the bag will hold lightweight promotional materials, everyday essentials or larger items. Appearance alone is not a reliable guide to carrying capacity, so check the specifications of the model you select.
Size, handles and construction
Check the usable space against the largest item you plan to put inside. Longer handles may be more convenient for shoulder carrying, while shorter ones suit carrying by hand. A bag with a gusseted base or side panels offers a different usable capacity from a flat bag of similar width and height. For heavier contents, the stitching and handle attachments also matter.
Cotton, recycled cotton and foldable designs
Material descriptions already differ between individual products: CARACAS is described as a 100% cotton bag, while MARACAY is described as a bag made with recycled cotton. SIENA is presented as a foldable cotton bag. These details apply to those models, not to every item in the category.
If compact storage is a priority, also compare foldable shopping bags. If you are considering a different material, non-woven shopping bags are another category to explore.
Preparing cotton bags for printing
Artwork and usable surface
A logo, slogan or graphic needs to suit the material and surface of the chosen bag. Seams, folds and handles can restrict the placement and size of the design. Screen printing may be suitable for appropriate textile products, but the choice of method also depends on the artwork, quantity and desired finish. Branding options should not be assumed to apply to every model.
Details needed to plan an order
For a specific quotation, identify the model, estimated quantity, intended use and preferred branding position. Include your artwork if available. Gajcom can help review the file and agree on the size, placement and suitable method; the final specification is confirmed for the individual order.

Frequently asked questions
Are all promotional cotton bags made from 100% cotton?
Do not assume this from the category name. Individual models have different material descriptions, including recycled cotton. Check the exact composition on the selected product.
What does fabric weight tell you?
Fabric weight indicates the mass of the material per square metre. It helps when comparing fabrics but does not determine a bag’s carrying capacity on its own; shape, stitching and handles also matter.
Can a large logo be printed on the bag?
The size of the design depends on the usable flat area, the bag’s construction and the chosen process. The actual branding area for the specific model needs to be checked before approval.
What if the artwork is not yet print-ready?
Send the file you have and describe the desired result. Gajcom can help review or prepare the artwork, but creating a completely new brand identity is not automatically included in an order.
