Full-service grocery / supermarket: You need a standard grocery-sized bag that handles a full cart of items — produce, cans, boxes, bottles. The Metro Reusable Grocery Bag and Original Standard Grocery are the top sellers for this use case. Both are non-woven, available in 20+ colors, and start at 200 units.

Small specialty / natural foods: Your customers are often buying fewer, higher-value items. A premium cotton bag like the Cotton Canvas Reusable Grocery matches the boutique feel. Minimums start at 100 units.

Farmers market vendor: You need bags that are lightweight, stackable, and cheap enough to hand out at volume. Non-woven is the clear choice. The Original Standard Grocery at the $0.59-$3.00 tier is built for this.

Frozen and cold items: If your customers buy perishables that need temperature protection during the drive home, the Enviro Sack Thermo Tote adds thermal lining to a grocery-sized bag. Browse our full insulated bags category for more options.

Extra-large loads: For warehouse clubs, bulk food stores, or stores where customers load up, the MEGA Shopper Extra Large Grocery handles oversized and heavy items that don’t fit standard bags.

Standard grocery (roughly 13″ x 10″ x 15″): Fits a typical shopping trip — 10-15 items. This is the Metro, the Original Standard, and most non-woven grocery bags. The right size for 90% of grocery store use.

Compact / medium (roughly 12″ x 8″ x 13″): Slightly smaller bags for quick trips, express lanes, and convenience stores. The Solana Reusable Tote fits here.

Extra-large (roughly 20″ x 10″ x 15″): For bulk purchases and oversized items. The MEGA Shopper Extra Large Grocery handles what standard bags can’t.

One-color logo: Included in all standard pricing. The most cost-effective option and all most grocery stores need. A well-placed one-color logo on a colored bag is clean and professional.

Multi-color logo (2-4 colors): Available on non-woven and cotton via screen printing. Each additional color adds a small per-unit charge.

Full-color photography or complex art: Requires laminated bags with CMYK printing. 2,500-unit minimum.

Both sides: Print your logo on the front and your website, phone number, or tagline on the back. Doubles your brand visibility for a modest added cost.

Small store (under 500 transactions/week): Start with 500-1,000 bags. At non-woven pricing, this is a modest investment that covers several months of checkout operations.

Mid-size store (500-2,000 transactions/week): Order 2,000-5,000 bags. You’ll go through them faster than you think, especially if you’re replacing disposable bags at checkout.

Supermarket or chain: 5,000-25,000+ bags. At this volume, per-unit costs drop to the low end of the price range. Laminated bags become cost-effective at 2,500+ units.

Tip: Order 15-20% more than your estimate. Running out and reordering mid-cycle costs more in setup fees than ordering slightly over the first time.
