Carry Bag / Tote Bag in foreign trade generally refers to bags with handles used for carrying items. Common materials include non-woven fabric, PP woven fabric, cotton, canvas, kraft paper, and recycled PET. They are widely used as retail shopping bags, promotional giveaways, exhibition document bags, e-commerce packaging bags, etc. Notes: 1) Often interchangeable with 'Shopping Bag', but Tote Bag emphasizes an open-top, dual-handle, zipperless tote style, while Carry Bag is more general; 2) Different from 'Packaging Bag', which focuses on transport protection, while carry bags focus on carrying and brand display; 3) When quoting, specify material weight, dimensions, printing method (screen printing/heat transfer/laminating), handle type (webbing/paper rope/cotton rope), and MOQ; 4) For EU export, note REACH and packaging regulations; for US export, note California Proposition 65; 5) If used for food contact, must comply with FDA or LFGB standards. It is recommended to specify specifications, testing requirements, and environmental certifications in the contract.
