There are a few canvas bags that are inexpensive enough to hand out at a trade show. This one is as economic as it can be but not on the count of the material and the quality. The bag is made of 12 oz cotton canvas. It has a bottom gusset of 3" and has 18" shoulder length poly web handles for carrying convenience. A smaller style to the traditional tote bag allows for a more economical product. And the smaller size is much more suited for children's use, whether you have them custom printed or if you paint them yourself.
