THUNDER SERIES NON-WOVEN TOTE BAGS

Non-woven tote bags are owned by 29% of U.S. consumers; and that statistic is from 2012.

According to the Advertising Specialty Institute, logo’d writing instruments are the most commonly owned (50% of U.S. consumers own at least one) and the most often used promotional product at 18.2 times per month.
