Custom Printed Tote Bags

Screen Printed Totes That Go Everywhere Your Brand Needs To

Tote bags are one of the most practical and visible pieces of branded merchandise you can produce. They go to markets, offices, studios, and high streets, putting your brand in front of new eyes every single day. We produce custom screen printed tote bags that are bold, well-made, and built to be used.

At Back & Forth Prints, we've printed tote bags for independent retailers, creative studios, event organisers, and everyone in between. We specialise in screen printed totes that are practical enough to be used daily and considered enough to reflect well on the brands behind them.

Why Custom Tote Bags Work for
Your Brand

Simple, sustainable, and everywhere. Here's why a well-printed tote is one of the smartest things you can put your brand on:

Constant Visibility in the Real World

A tote bag goes to the shops, the gym, the market, and the office. Every trip is an opportunity for your brand to reach an audience you'd never otherwise access.

A Sustainable Alternative

Custom tote bags align your brand with a more considered approach to packaging and gifting, something that resonates strongly with today's customers and clients.

Short Runs Welcome

You don't need to order hundreds to make tote bags work for your brand. We support smaller runs, making them a realistic option for independent businesses and creatives at any scale.

Printing Techniques

Screen Printed Custom Tote Bags

We use custom-built screen printing presses that we designed and engineered ourselves to print directly onto garments on mass. This allows us to apply artwork across the full print area, creating bold, full-coverage graphics that are ideal for branded apparel, retail products, or promotional use.

As with all screen printing, there are some limitations to what can be printed, but we work closely with each brand to bring your vision to life and make sure the final result reflects your creative goals.

All screen print jobs are quoted individually based on artwork and quantity. Get in touch to discuss your project and we will guide you through the process.
