Product Overview
The Bagbase Original carryall tote bag represents a sophisticated evolution of the standard carrier, engineered for the professional who requires both volume and versatility. Crafted from a substantial recycled polyester, this bag bridges the gap between a casual tote and a structured piece of luggage. It provides ample space for technical equipment, laptops, and everyday essentials, making it an ideal choice for the modern commuter or for corporate branding projects where a higher standard of garment is required.
By utilising 100% GRS-certified recycled polyester, this bag offers a lower environmental impact without sacrificing the ruggedness expected from high-density polyester fabrics. Its clean lines and modern design provide a professional canvas for your company identity, ensuring that sustainability and style are not mutually exclusive.
Key Features
- Internal Zipped Pocket: Provides a secure space for valuables, ensuring that smaller items like keys and wallets remain organised and accessible within the larger main compartment.
- Hidden Zip Access for Decoration: A thoughtfully engineered lining allows for seamless branding applications, ensuring that the internal finish of the bag remains tidy even after customisation.
- Press Stud Handle Closure: The grab handles feature a secure closure, which keeps the straps together for a more comfortable grip when carrying heavier loads by hand.
- Tear-Away Label: Facilitates easy rebranding for businesses looking to create their own bespoke luggage line without conflicting manufacturer tags.
- GRS-Certified Material: Made from 100% recycled polyester, certified by the Control Union, providing a verifiable commitment to sustainable procurement.
Design & Performance
The performance of this carryall is rooted in its heavy-duty polyester weave. Unlike lightweight cotton alternatives, this fabric provides a rigid structure that protects its contents and holds its shape under load. The choice of 600-denier polyester ensures a high level of abrasion resistance, which is essential for a bag that will see daily use in varied environments.
The design is truly versatile, featuring straps that are calibrated for either hand-carry or over-the-shoulder use. This flexibility, combined with the secure internal storage, makes it a high-performance alternative to traditional promotional bags, offering a longevity that reflects well on any brand associated with it.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Original carryall tote bag is specifically designed with customisation in mind. The oversized decoration area is perfectly suited for bold screen printing or high-definition heat transfers, allowing for large-scale logos that remain sharp and vibrant against the dense polyester weave.
For those seeking a more traditional and premium aesthetic, embroidery is highly recommended. The hidden zip access allows our technicians to frame the fabric without compromising the internal lining, resulting in a professional finish that hides the reverse of the stitching. Since 1976, our Telford-based team has refined the art of applying complex logos to heavy-duty fabrics, ensuring your branding is as durable as the bag itself.
Use Cases
This bag is an excellent choice for corporate gift packs, particularly for employees who travel or commute. Its professional appearance also makes it suitable for industry conferences, university welcome packs, or as high-quality merchandise for retail brands. It is equally at home carrying gym gear as it is transporting office documents and hardware.

Practical Advice
Given the substantial nature of the fabric, this bag can comfortably support a full day's worth of equipment. When choosing branding, consider that a central placement takes full advantage of the hidden zip access, providing the cleanest possible internal finish. If you are using this bag for heavy items, the press-stud closure on the handles is particularly effective at preventing the straps from digging into your palms.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and the finish of the recycled polyester, this bag should be sponged clean only. We advise against full immersion in water, as this can affect the internal coatings and the bag's ability to hold its shape over time.
Do not use bleach or harsh chemical cleaners, as these will degrade the recycled fibres and may cause discolouration of your custom print or embroidery. Allow the bag to air dry naturally; using a tumble dryer will likely damage the synthetic fibres and cause significant shrinkage or warping of the branded areas.
Avoid ironing the bag, especially over printed areas. High heat can melt the polyester fabric and will destroy any heat-applied logos. A simple wipe with a damp cloth is sufficient to keep the bag looking its best for the long term.
