Tote Bag: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $2.10 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.50 at volume, on a typical 30-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.

What moves the price
For tote bag, the drivers are dimensions, fabric weight, handle length, print method — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
For a mid-range custom-printed canvas tote, price is driven most by fabric weight, bag construction, print coverage/colors, and whether the quote is domestic or factory-direct import. Real supplier references show canvas totes around $1.20-$3.50 at 500-1,000 units, falling below $1.50 at 5,000+ and to roughly $0.80 or less at 10,000+ for lighter/basic builds, while heavier or more complex custom decoration pushes higher. The most realistic routes are US-facing wholesale decorators for smaller runs, and overseas factory-direct import or landed-equivalent quotes for 5,000+ units.
