Questions

Cotton Bags Questions

How many wash cycles will a printed cotton bag survive?

A correctly cured screen print on cotton survives normal domestic washing. Exact cycle counts depend on the ink, the cure and the wash temperature, so the source catalogue figure is not something we will invent. If wash durability is a buying criterion, say so before sampling and have the sample washed before you approve it.

What is the difference between your cotton and your canvas bags?

Weight and weave density. Canvas is heavier and tighter, so it holds shape and carries more; cotton is lighter, folds smaller, takes fine print detail better and costs less per unit.

Can I have a woven label or hang tag added?

Yes. Woven labels, care labels, hang tags and barcodes can all be added, which matters if the bag is going to be sold rather than given away. Confirm them before the sample so you approve the item as it will be sold.

Do you supply plain natural totes with no decoration?

Yes. Several items in this range are plain or near-plain bodies, which suits buyers who decorate locally or who want the fabric and construction to be the product.
