Have you ever struggled to fit everything into a tote bag, only to find it ripping at the seams? Enter the gusset, your new best friend!
Whether you’re a business owner, DIY enthusiast, school administrator or grocery shop owner, understanding gussets can transform your storage solutions.
You’ll find gussets in promotional products, clothing and various other products. But what makes them so special? And how can they benefit you in your custom tote bags? Stick around as we unravel the magic of gussets and explore their versatile applications.
What is a gusset? | Gusseted vs. non-gusseted bags
You might wonder: What’s the difference between gusseted and non-gusseted bags?
Non-gusseted bags lack the expandable feature of gussets. Our custom Polypropylene Promotional Tote is more suitable for clothing, books and flat items.
Gusseted bags, on the other hand, offer more space and strength. They are ideal for various uses, from grocery shopping to promotional events. Gusseted bags are constructed with an extra piece of fabric that allows them to expand so they are roomier.
What are the benefits of a gusset?
Enhanced durability and storage optimization
A gusset is an extra piece of fabric inserted into a seam to add breadth and reduce stress from tight-fitting corners. Gussets are game-changers when it comes to durability and storage. By adding extra fabric to your custom tote bags, gussets provide more space without sacrificing strength.
Imagine trying to pack all your groceries into a flat bag. A gusseted bag would easily accommodate more items, distribute the weight evenly and reduce the risk of tears.
Structural support for various products
Gussets can also help tote bags stay upright and prevent items from spilling out. They are easier to fill since they can stand up on their own. This protects items inside the bag from damage, adds convenience and keeps tote carriers happy!
Versatile and practical
The versatility of gusset tote bags makes them a practical choice for any occasion. From carrying groceries to organizing school supplies, these custom tote bags are designed to meet your needs.
Plus, with Totally Promotional’s expert curation and variety of options, you can find the perfect bag for your specific requirements.
Perfect for promotional efforts
Custom gusset tote bags are the best for boosting your brand in new places because of their large imprint area. These bags provide a large surface area for your logo and branding, ensuring maximum visibility. They are reusable, as well, so your brand gets seen over and over again.
Whether you’re attending a trade show or hosting a community event, custom gusseted bags are an effective way to promote your brand.
Types of gussets and their uses
Side gussets
Side gussets are the most common type found in many products from bags to packaging. These gussets expand the sides of a tote bag, offering more room for your items. They’re ideal for grocery bags, providing extra capacity without compromising on style.
Bottom gussets
Bottom gussets, as the name suggests, are added to the bottom of a bag. This type of gusset allows the bag to stand upright and hold more items securely. Bottom gussets are commonly used in tote bags to offer a stable base for carrying multiple items.
Combination gussets
For the best of both worlds, choose a bag with both side and bottom gussets. This design maximizes storage capacity and provides excellent structural support. Combination gussets are perfect for heavy-duty packaging in retail, schools and more.
