A SMALL SAMPLE. A USEFUL PROJECT TEST.

Make a bag
worth carrying.

Plan the printable space.

Inspect seams, handle attachments and the actual bag size. The clear front panel in a photograph is a guide; confirm placement and access using a physical sample and your equipment.

Match the process to the bag.

Use ink, vinyl or transfers intended for the chosen material. Bag fabric, thickness and construction can differ from a T-shirt, so do not transfer your settings unchanged without a test.

Budget for the finished tote.

Include decoration, samples, packaging, delivery and your time. For a small craft collection, limit the first colour and design range, check the finished bag and keep its style code for repeat orders.

Choose blanks for vinyl & DTF projects

These catalogue bags offer long or short handles and different fabric weights. Check the chosen bag and colour specification before deciding on a decoration method or batch quantity.

A LITTLE CLARITY BEFORE YOU ORDER

Your buying questions.

Which blank tote bag should I choose for printing?

Start with the design, process and intended use. Compare the fibre composition, weight, surface, handles and seams. A lighter cotton bag and a heavier canvas bag can need different settings; test the exact style and colour with your chosen ink or transfer system.

What is the difference between long and short tote handles?

Long handles can offer hand or shoulder carrying, while short handles suit hand carrying. In this shortlist, W101 and W101S use the same listed 140 gsm cotton weight but specify 67 cm and 40 cm handles respectively. Check the whole product specification for your use.

Can I buy one plain tote bag before ordering wholesale quantities?

Yes. You can order from one garment or bag without a trade account. Choose the actual colour for your sample, test the decoration and check the final basket price before planning a larger order.

Can I put heat transfer vinyl or DTF on any bag?

Do not assume every bag suits the same transfer. Match the transfer manufacturer’s fabric and application instructions to the selected bag. Seams, handles, linings, coatings and the surface can change how you prepare and apply it.
