One thing we hear a lot at Ginunique is, “What’s the difference between handmade and economical tote bags?”
And truthfully? That question shows you're thinking like a smart brand — balancing both impact and budget.
The great news is you don’t have to choose one "right" answer — you just need the right fit.
Let’s break it down...
🧵 What Counts as Handmade?
Our handmade branded items are sewn in-house, from pattern to final stitch. That includes sublimated artwork that’s designed, pressed, and crafted by hand — no blanks, no shortcuts.
You get:
- Unique fabric choices
- Fully sublimated or lined tote bags
- Handmade drawstring bags with custom back panels
- Branded tags, inserts, or QR code placement
- The Ginunique Touch — quality in every seam
🧡 Perfect for:
- Client gift sets
- Boutique packaging
- Teacher appreciation
- VIP branding experiences
💼 What Makes It Economical?
Economical branded items are pre-made, vendor-sourced tote bags (like from ToteBagFactory), which we then customize with vinyl, tags, sublimation panels, or branding inserts.
You get:
- Lower per-unit cost
- Fast turnaround
- Simpler logistics for high-volume orders
🖤 Perfect for:
- Schools + staff events
- Large vendor expos
- Swag bags for conferences
- Bulk gifting with impact
