Calico Bags with Shoulder Strap

QIS Packaging's calico shoulder strap bags are the go-to reusable cotton bag for libraries, schools, universities, and event organisers across Australia. Made from 100% unbleached natural cotton with a single long shoulder strap, these hands-free carry bags are strong, breathable, biodegradable, and built to be reused hundreds of times, the perfect sustainable alternative to plastic for library loans, school excursions, open days, and trade shows. Available in two popular sizes and sold in convenient packs of 50.

Why choose QIS calico shoulder strap bags?

Calico is one of the most eco-friendly packaging materials available, made from natural cotton, fully biodegradable, washable, and reusable. Every QIS shoulder strap calico bag is constructed from a sturdy 120gsm unbleached cotton with a comfortable over-the-shoulder strap that keeps hands free and spreads the load. Because they're handmade, each bag carries that natural, premium, artisan feel, and the plain calico surface 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.)

Available sizes (2 sizes)

Pick the right calico shoulder strap bag for your library, school, or event:

• 380 × 300mm – library books, workbooks, tablets, A4 folders, smaller loan and excursion items
• 420 × 380mm – stacked books, multiple folders, open-day showbags, conference and trade-show kits

Ideal for libraries, schools, universities & events

Calico shoulder strap bags suit a huge range of Australian institutions and occasions. Use them as library and book bags, pre-school and primary school bags, university open-day and orientation bags, conference and trade-show giveaway bags, showbags, and reusable event totes. The long strap makes them easy to carry over a shoulder while browsing, walking between sessions, or moving through a busy expo floor and the natural cotton finish takes a printed logo, school crest, or event branding beautifully.
