Merch that leaves the house

A T-shirt gets worn on certain days. A good tote goes to the farmers market, the gym, the office and the beach, every week, for years. Every trip is another time your logo or artwork gets seen. That is why brands, shops and event teams keep coming back to custom bags.

What we customize

  • Tote bags — the classic, in canvas and cotton, for giveaways and retail alike
  • Shopping bags — reusable bags for stores and markets
  • Backpacks — for staff, schools and teams

How do I choose a decoration method for a bag?

Screen printing is the go-to for totes. Ink sinks into canvas and cotton, colors stay solid, and the large flat panel is perfect for bold graphics. It starts at 6 pieces and is printed in-house.

Embroidery adds a stitched, premium logo. It works best on sturdier fabrics and smaller designs, and it looks great on backpacks and higher-end totes.

Where totes make the most sense

  • Retail and brand merch. A tote in your colors is an easy add-on at the register or in a drop.
  • Events and conferences. Hand them out at check-in and they carry everything else you give away.
  • Grand openings and launches. Something useful people take home.
  • Nonprofits and fundraisers. A thank-you that keeps showing your cause.
  • Restaurants, cafes and markets. Reusable bags with your name on them.

Design tips for bags

  • Think big. A tote has a wide, flat panel. Use it.
  • Contrast wins. Dark ink on natural canvas or white ink on black totes reads from across the street.
  • Keep it simple for stitching. Bold shapes and clear lettering embroider best.
  • Use the back. A second side for a URL, tagline or pattern adds value without much effort.
