Cart by Cart, LLC is based in Iowa City, IA.   Our mission is to get as many consumers as possible to carry a reusable canvas bag with them for all their shopping needs. We offer a wide variety of reusable shopping bags, library book bags, laundry bags and promotional totes to reduce the use of plastic and paper bags. Our bags are made in the USA. Over 26,000 bags have been purchased in Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin since July of 2007.

In keeping with our philosophy to reduce our carbon footprint on the earth, our bags are made in the USA of a renewable resource: cotton. You can demonstrate your commitment to a greener world by offering canvas bags to your customers as a premium gift or in appreciation to your employees. Cart by Cart bags will get your name out in the community in a highly visible manner on the arms of the people using them for all their errands.

Cart by Cart is the official sponsor of conference totes for the Iowa Library Association Conference 2008 and the Illinois Library Association Conference 2008.

As the holiday season approaches, consider offering your holiday gifts ”wrapped” in a reusable canvas bag.   This practical and earth friendly approach will save waste and will remind the gift recipient of you each time they use the bag. 

About our bags:
1) The bags are durable, washable, and earth friendly. Canvas is an extremely strong and packable material. It is not made from petroleum based products.  Cotton is a renewable resource.

2) Cart by Cart bags are affordable. Dozens of bags were sampled from suppliers near and far and the final choice landed on the one we use made right here in the USA.  Shipping from within the United States saves both time and money while reducing energy consumption.

3) Our bags are attractive to a wide variety of tastes.  A very hip and creative graphic artist brings our ideas to life in a colorful, simple, and fun manner.  Cart by Cart offers bags that are not associated solely with one store or another. People can carry our bags for all their errands and shopping.

Cart by Cart,LLC is deeply committed to the concept that cart by cart, we can all do our part to make the world a better place.  Our mission is not fulfilled until it becomes commonplace that everyone keeps a reusable bag with them for shopping and errands.
