Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our promotional products and services

How do I order cotton bags with a logo?

Pick a bag style, choose your quantity, select the branding method offered for that model in the price calculator, and upload your artwork. We’ll send a digital proof for approval. Not sure about file type or colours? Email your artwork—we’ll review it and quote with a mock-up.

What styles and sizes are available?

Calico totes (lightweight) for events and giveaways Canvas totes (mid/heavy) for everyday carry and groceries A4/library and gusseted shoppers for added capacity Drawstring and zip pouches for gifts, amenities or cosmetics Exact dimensions, handle length and volume are shown on each product page.

Calico vs canvas—what’s the difference?

Calico is a lighter cotton suited to low-weight contents and budget-friendly campaigns. Canvas is heavier and more durable, better for books/groceries and for embroidery where supported.

Which branding methods work on cotton?

Screen print (spot colours): bold, cost-effective on calico and canvas. Full-colour digital transfer: ideal for multi-colour artwork, gradients and fine detail. Embroidery: premium, durable finish on heavier canvas panels. Availability and print areas vary by product—see the item’s calculator/branding template.

Can you print edge-to-edge (full-bleed)?

Not on stock bags. Print areas follow the supplier’s branding template and sit inside seams/gussets. For true full-bleed, you’d need a custom-manufactured (indent) bag with printed panels before sewing (higher MOQs/longer lead times).

How strong are cotton bags?

Strength depends on fabric weight (GSM), seams, handle attachment and whether the bag includes a base insert/gusset. Check each product page to match the bag to its intended use.

Are cotton bags washable?

Spot clean by hand to preserve the decoration. Machine washing can stress the fabric and degrade prints/embroidery over time.

What are the minimum order quantities? Can I go below MOQ or mix colours?

MOQs are shown in each product’s calculator. Ordering below MOQ is possible, but unit pricing increases due to setup and small-run supplier charges. Many styles allow mixed bag/handle colours—see the product page for rules.

Do you supply samples?

Yes—loan samples (return required) are available on many styles. Tell us which bag and we’ll confirm availability.

What artwork files do you need?

For screen print/embroidery, supply vector files (AI, EPS or print-ready PDF) and Pantone colours if you have them. For full-colour digital transfer, send high-resolution artwork at print size. A digital proof is supplied before production.
