Overview
The 45 × 35 × 10 cm is our large-format grocery tote — a deep 10cm bottom gusset lets it stand on its own when loaded, and the heavy 10 oz canvas takes the weight of a full week's groceries, a beach day load, or a corporate gift kit with bottles and books. Where the standard 35×40 cm tote tops out at around 5–7 kg, this 45×35×10 cm with its reinforced handles and structured base comfortably handles 11–14 kg.
This is the size organic markets, grocery retailers, corporate gifting teams, and beach-day retailers come to when they need a tote that looks premium and actually performs under real load. Custom print MOQ is 5 bags; free digital proof on every custom order.

Use Case: Grocery Store Branded Bags
We've produced runs of 2,000–5,000 45×35×10 cm bags for organic markets and grocery retailers across the UK. Custom screen print with logo on both sides, natural fabric reinforces the eco-positioning. Typical lead time: 14–21 business days for runs over 1,000 bags from proof approval.
Use Case: Corporate Holiday Gifting
The 45×35×10 cm is sized to hold a complete gift assortment: 750ml bottle + branded mug + small box of chocolates + greeting card. We've fulfilled corporate holiday orders of 300–800 bags with company logo + holiday greeting print. The premium feel (heavier 10 oz fabric, reinforced handles) reads as a thoughtful gift rather than a giveaway tote — many corporate buyers report higher response rates from recipients vs lighter swag totes.
Use Case: Beach / Resort Branding
Boutique resorts use the 45×35×10 cm as a branded amenity provided in each villa or beach house. Heavy enough to carry beach gear, natural enough to photograph well in guests' social posts. Custom print with property name + simple illustration on one face works well.
Use Case: Conference VIP / Sponsor Gifts
For tiered conference sponsorships, the 45×35×10 cm is the "platinum tier" swag tote — sized larger than the 35×40 cm standard swag, signaling premium recognition for top sponsors and keynote speakers. Pair with a smaller 25×15×5 cm clutch inside for cable/charger organisation.
Heavy-Duty Construction Details
- Reinforced double-stitched handles (stress test: handles 11–14 kg load capacity comfortably)
- 10cm gusset bottom — fully constructed (not folded or pinched)
- Side seams overlocked for fray resistance
- 10 oz canvas weight = retail-grade durability for repeat use
- Reinforced stress points at handle anchor (where most cheap totes fail)
Material & Sustainability
100% natural cotton canvas, sourced from premium textile mills. No synthetic blends, no plastic lining. Fully biodegradable at end of life. We ship without individual plastic polybags — bags travel folded in recyclable kraft boxes. Material origin letter available on request for buyers with sustainability reporting needs.
Care & Longevity
- Machine wash cold with mild detergent
- Line dry preferred (preserves shape better than tumble drying for heavier canvas)
- Iron on medium if needed; avoid printed area directly
- Customers report 3–5 years of regular grocery use before noticeable wear
- 10 oz canvas softens slightly with washing but retains structure
Other Tote Sizes & Styles
FAQ
Is this size suitable for groceries? Yes — 10 oz canvas + 10cm gusset handles 11–14 kg comfortably. It's the size most organic markets and grocery retailers order.
Can I get a custom colour? Black and Navy are available on B2B orders 500+. Natural ships from stock.
Print on both sides? Yes, single-side or double-side print available — pricing varies.
Lead time on 500-bag order? 14–21 business days production + delivery.
How does this compare to a polypropylene reusable bag? The 45×35×10 cm cotton is a fully natural-fibre alternative — biodegradable, no microplastic shedding, and reads as premium in retail/gifting contexts. Polypropylene is cheaper per bag but doesn't communicate the same eco-positioning.
Will this stand up on its own when empty? The 10cm gusset helps but the bag is fully empty-soft like all canvas totes — it stands once partially loaded. For empty display, prop the base with tissue.
