Custom Tote Bags in Los Angeles
We screen print, embroider and DTG print custom tote bags in-house in Santa Fe Springs for Los Angeles businesses, events and nonprofits: a 1-color screen print runs about $8.00 per bag at 24 bags and about $3.20 at 100 bags, decoration only, with the blank tote priced from live wholesale catalogs.
