These totes are not the large beach totes, but rather a manageable size for everyday hauling. I bought them to use with HTV and try sublimation. I believe they are coated in pvc inside the front pocket and the bag itself so I used a small bath towel and cloth inside the pockets to keep them from melting together. The black handles will also melt so I protected them with a few sheets of printing paper and covered the entire project with a Teflon sheet before sublimating in my press at 375 for 60 seconds.
