Packet pickup kits
We can co-pack totes with bibs and shirts so pickup day is grab-and-go instead of an assembly line.
CUSTOM RACE GEAR
Custom Race Tote Bags
Packet-pickup totes your sponsors fight to be printed on.
Every packet pickup needs a bag, so make the bag work: a printed tote carries your race brand through the grocery store for years, at a per-unit cost lower than almost anything else you hand out. Non-woven polypropylene is the race-day standard; cotton canvas is the upgrade finishers keep.
Totes are also the easiest sponsor sell on the table — a logo on 2,000 reusable bags is a line item sponsors understand instantly, and it usually pays for the totes twice over.

VOLUME PRICING
Tote Bags pricing
Per-unit pricing for our standard spec. Proofs and two edit rounds are included at every tier.
| Quantity | Price per unit |
|---|---|
| 100–249 | $2.75 |
| 250–499 | $2.45 |
| 500–999 | $2.15 |
| 1,000+ | $1.95 |
Options beyond the standard spec are itemized in your quote — and we beat any written competitor quote by up to 10%.
Pricing is by size, not by sport: a 3-inch medal runs about $2.50 each at 100 units for any race — larger sizes slightly more, smaller sizes less, and same-size medals start at the same price. Design and proofs are quoted with your order. New designs carry a one-time mold fee (generally around $100, depending on size); reorders of the same design never pay it again. Specialty builds — spinners, moving parts, oversized cutouts — can add to the per-medal cost.
DESIGN IDEAS
How races use custom tote bags
Sponsor checkerboards
One face for your race art, one face gridded for sponsors — the classic that keeps everyone happy.
Series collectibles
A new colorway each year turns totes into the series merchandise people notice at the start line.
Cinch packs for youth races
Drawstring packs fit kids and double as school bags — the highest after-race usage of any bag style.
Tote Bags questions
What is the cheapest tote option for a big race?
Non-woven polypropylene with a 1-color print — $1.95 per bag at 1,000+ units. It is the standard for packet pickup at races of every size.
Are cotton canvas totes worth the upgrade?
For finisher gifts and VIP packets, yes — canvas reads as merchandise, not packaging, and gets years of reuse. Many races order non-woven for pickup and a small canvas run for volunteers and VIPs.
Can sponsors be added after we approve the design?
Up until production starts. We hold tote art open longer than medal molds precisely because late sponsors are common — tell us your sponsor deadline and we will schedule around it.
