It's unanimous! Of all the many types of bags suitable for use as promotional items, the most popular promotional bag in use today is the tote bag. The first promotional tote bags were made of inexpensive lightweight cotton sheeting with a sturdier material used for the handles. The imprinting processes evolved from inked imprints applied from a wooden die to the silk screen process and now to the digital transfer. The silk screen process provided outstanding color capabilities as well as the application of multiple colors to replicate the advertiser's logo. As fabrics grew stronger and lighter in weight the promotional tote bag proliferated into use as a favorite giveaway at trade shows and soon after hundreds of tote styles were developed as gifts from companies to women. Today tote bags are made in every conceivable flexible material including paper, plastic, cotton, leather, vinyl, polyester, nylon and more including laminated sheeting combining the attributes of cloth on the exterior and plastics on the interior to provide water resistance. Promotional tote bags are among the most popular and versatile promotional products. They provide a large area for your logo and most styles can be used for many purposes. As trade show totes, promotional beach bags, shopping bags, and general carry-alls, these promotional tote bags will give you lots of exposure and value. At EmpirePromos, we have a huge selection to fit your audience, your theme and your budget. These totes range from beach style totes to fashion totes to small totes used to house cosmetics. You can purchase tote bags for under a dollar to well over one hundred dollars depending on your promotional goals. Bear in mind that virtually all promotional totes are designed for use by women with the trade show tote being the exception. The hottest new application for totes is the reintroduction of the reusable shopping tote. This has been driven by the newly revived earth friendly movement. Almost every company wants to project a a "green" public image, so what better vehicle could they use than a recycled or natural fiber tote that becomes a walking billboard?
