Cotton Business Cards and Cotton Tote Bags

Cotton printing here means three pieces. Cotton Business Cards print on 45pt cotton at 2 by 3.5, 1.5 by 3.5 or 2.5 by 2.5 inches, from 250 cards for $328.42, in 15 business days. Cotton Tote Bags are 14.5 by 16 by 1 inch bags of 6oz 100% cotton canvas in natural, red or royal blue, from one bag at $22.73, printed one or both sides in 7 business days. Ready-made Cotton Totes, with a botanical print and no logo, come at 12 by 14 or 14 by 16 inches from $5 for one.

A 45pt cotton card and a canvas tote both suit a brand that values the feel of natural fiber.

Why a 45pt Cotton Card Feels Different

Cotton stock is made from cotton fibers instead of wood pulp. At 45pt, a cotton business card is several times the thickness of a standard 14pt card, with a soft surface and a visible grain, and it takes foil stamping, debossing into the fibers, painted edges and 1/8 or 1/4 inch rounded corners.

Cotton paper has a long history in fine stationery. The fibers pull ink in a way that reads slightly muted and elegant, which suits refined and artisanal brands.

Who Reaches for Cotton, and Why

A boutique or artisan seller can pair 45pt Cotton Business Cards with natural canvas totes at farmers markets and pop-up shops for one hand-made look.

A photographer, designer or architect can lean on the soft grain to add depth to a minimal layout, where a card with just a name and number stands out. For layout ideas, see our guide on cotton graphics for logo products. A business can print its logo on Cotton Tote Bags as a reusable bag for customers.

Getting the Best Results from Cotton

Cotton behaves differently than coated or standard uncoated paper, so a few design choices go a long way. The material has a visible grain, which means fine lines and type below 7pt can lose definition. Stick with bold typography, clean layouts, and generous spacing, and let the stock do the talking.

Color also shifts on cotton. Ink absorbs into the fibers, so tones look softer and more muted, which is often the whole point for earth tones, pastels, and deep neutrals. If you want recipients to feel the fiber, keep large solid ink areas to a minimum and give the design room to breathe. White space is your friend here.

Cotton Printing FAQ

What cotton materials and stocks are used?

Cotton Business Cards print on a 45pt cotton stock made from natural fibers, and Cotton Tote Bags use 6oz 100% cotton canvas.

How long do cotton print orders take?

Plan ahead for the cards, since foil stamping, debossing and edge painting add finishing steps. Totes are the quick piece in the collection.

Is there a minimum order for cotton products?

Cotton Business Cards start at 250 cards and tote bags at a single bag, and per unit pricing drops as your quantity grows, up to 2,000 cards or 100 bags on the order page.

How should I set up my artwork, and do I get a proof?

Use CMYK color at 300 DPI minimum and avoid text smaller than 7pt, since the cotton grain softens fine detail. Downloadable templates carry the correct bleed and safe zones, and a free digital proof is available before it goes to press.
