Calico Carry Bags with Two Handles

QIS Packaging's calico bags with two handles are the classic reusable cotton tote — strong, washable, and environmentally friendly carry bags trusted by Australian retailers, schools, libraries, and event organisers. Made from 100% unbleached natural cotton with two sturdy carry handles, these bags are a premium, sustainable alternative to plastic shopping bags, and double as the perfect library bag, kindy bag, school art bag, or branded promotional tote. Sold in convenient packs of 50.

Why choose QIS two-handle calico bags?

Calico is one of the most eco-friendly packaging materials available, made from natural cotton, fully biodegradable, machine washable, and reusable hundreds of times. Every QIS two-handle calico bag is constructed from a sturdy 120gsm unbleached cotton with twin handles stitched in for everyday carrying. Because they're handmade, each bag has that natural, premium, artisan character, and the plain calico face is an ideal blank canvas for screen or digital logo printing. (Please note: as the bags are handmade, there may be a 3–5% variance in the listed length and width, and the natural cotton shade can vary slightly between batches.)

Available sizes & handle options

Pick the right two-handle calico bag for your store, school, or event:

• 380 × 300mm (two handles) – holds A4 documents; the perfect library bag, kindy bag, or compact retail shopping bag
• 420 × 380mm (two short handles, ~440mm) – holds an A3 folder or book; machine washable, ideal for school arts and craft projects and retail
• 420 × 380mm (two long handles, 2 × 700mm) – longer over-the-shoulder carry; a favourite as a trade show, conference, and promotional bag

Ideal for retail, schools, libraries & events

Two-handle calico bags suit a huge range of Australian businesses and uses. Use them as retail and boutique shopping bags, library and book bags, pre-school and primary school bags, school art and craft bags, trade-show and conference giveaway totes, market and gift bags, and reusable everyday shoppers. The natural cotton finish takes a printed logo, school crest, or event branding beautifully, turning every bag into a walking advertisement for your brand.
