Custom Reusable Nylon Grocery Bag

Nylon Grocery Tote Bag 17 x 16 x 5 in - Reusable, Custom & Wholesale

Most reusable bags fail in one of two ways: they are too heavy to carry around in case you need one, or they are light enough to keep and too flimsy to survive a full shop. This one is a nylon grocery tote weighing about 0.08 lb and measuring 17 in wide, 16 in high, and 5 in deep, with a flat gusset base so it stands once it is loaded. It folds down small enough to live in a purse, a glovebox, or a jacket pocket, which is the only reason a reusable bag ever gets used twice. The handles are extra-wide and cut in one piece with the body, so the load passes through the bag rather than through a stitched-on join. It is machine washable, and it is rated for a full grocery load rather than a single lightweight errand.

- 17 x 16 x 5 in (43.2 x 40.6 x 12.7 cm), with a 5 in bottom gusset that lets the bag stand and load evenly.

- About 0.08 lb (approx. 36 g): light enough to keep in a bag, a car, or a pocket without noticing it.

- Rated capacity 66 lb (30 kg) as specified for this fabric and construction (see the note below on what that figure assumes).

- Extra-wide long handles cut in one piece with the body: no stitched-on join to pull out under load.

- Flat gusset base that stands when loaded instead of collapsing into a point.

- Machine washable for repeat use, then air dry.

- Open top with a single compartment: nothing to unzip when the bag is full and your hands are not free.

- Dark grey as shown, black also available, custom colours on request.

- 0.08 lb and 66 lb sit at opposite ends of the same product, and together they are the whole argument for it.

- 0.08 lb (about 36 g) is what makes the bag get carried. A bag left at home is not a reusable bag, it is an intention. This one disappears into a purse or a glovebox and comes back out when it is needed.

- 66 lb (30 kg) is what makes it survive a full shop rather than one bag of vegetables. It is the factory's stated capacity for this fabric and construction.

- That figure assumes the load is spread through the bag and carried normally, not swung, dropped, or concentrated into one pointed object pressing on a single seam. Treat it as a working load for a full shop, not as a test-to-destruction number.

- Holding both numbers at once means a very light fabric with a carefully built seam. Ask us for the fabric specification if your program needs to publish the construction detail alongside the capacity.

- A narrow handle concentrates the whole load onto a thin strip of the hand. That is what makes a heavy bag painful to carry, not the weight on its own.

- These handles are extra-wide and cut in one piece with the body. The same load is spread across a wider contact area, so the pressure on the hand drops without adding padding, weight, or bulk.

- Cutting the handle from the body also removes the weak point. A stitched-on handle fails at the join; a continuous panel has no join there.

- The handle opening is bound along the edge, which is where a cut handle would otherwise fray first.

- For loads at the top of the range, carried over a long distance, a padded handle still helps. This design trades padding for packability, and that is the right trade for a bag that lives in a pocket.

- A reusable bag only replaces disposable bags if it can be cleaned. A bag that cannot be washed gets retired the first time something leaks in it.

- Machine wash cold, then air dry. Do not tumble dry: heat is what shortens the life of the fabric and the binding.

- Because the bag has no zip, no lining, and no inner pocket, there is nothing inside to trap moisture or hold a smell, which is why washing actually works rather than just moving the problem around.

- Open top, single compartment: nothing to break, nothing to jam, and nothing to dry inside.

- A full grocery shop: a week of dry goods, several bottles, produce, and a carton, with the 5 in gusset letting the bag sit flat and stack.

- The gusset is what makes the difference. A flat bag bulges into a pillow shape; a 5 in gusset gives a base that stands and a load that stays where it is put.

- Carried by hand or over the shoulder, since the handles are long enough for both.

- Folded, it takes about the space of a pair of socks, which is the point: it lives in the car or the bag and comes out when needed.

- Not a substitute for a structured tote. There is no pocket for keys, no closure, and no rigidity, so small items should go in a pouch and the top should be treated as open.

Q: What is the MOQ for this grocery tote?

A: Our standard MOQ is 500 pcs per design. Colours can be mixed within an order, and trial orders can be discussed for ready styles.

Q: What are the exact dimensions?

A: 17 in wide, 16 in high, and 5 in deep, which is 43.2 x 40.6 x 12.7 cm. The 5 in depth is a bottom gusset, so the bag stands when it is loaded.

Q: How much does it weigh?

A: About 0.08 lb, roughly 36 g. That is what lets it fold into a purse or a glovebox and still be there when you need it.

Q: Does it really hold 66 lb?

A: It is rated at 66 lb (30 kg) as specified for this fabric and construction. That figure assumes the load is spread through the bag and carried normally; it is a working load for a full shop, not a destruction test. If your program needs to publish the number, ask us for the supporting specification.

Q: Is the handle padded?

A: No. The handles are extra-wide and cut in one piece with the body, so the load is spread across a wider area of the hand instead of being concentrated on a narrow strip. Padding is left out deliberately, because it adds weight and bulk to a bag that has to fold small.

Q: Is it machine washable?

A: Yes. Machine wash cold and air dry. Do not tumble dry, because heat shortens the life of the fabric and the binding.

Q: Does it have a zip or an inner pocket?

A: No. It is an open-top bag with a single compartment. Small items should go in a pouch, and the open top should be treated as open: a full bag set down in a car will spill if it tips.

Q: What colours are available?

A: Dark grey as shown, and black. Custom colours can be produced, and the colour split can be mixed within an order.

Q: Can I print our logo?

A: Yes. The front panel is the print area, and the fabric takes a printed logo well at a moderate size. Send vector artwork and we will return a placement proof before sampling.

Q: What is the production lead time?

A: Bulk production takes 15-20 days after sample approval for this style, with standard samples in 3-7 days.
