As an incredibly versatile bag, cotton bags don’t belong in one specific industry, or for any specific product. These bags are used for pretty much any purchase or function, with large options also available, ideal for bigger & heavier items.

The best material depends on the appearance you want to achieve: Cotton bags provide a soft, versatile printing surface suited to detailed logos and colourful designs. Canvas bags have a thicker, more substantial feel, giving printed designs a premium finish with a natural texture. Jute bags have a distinctive woven surface that works particularly well with bold logos and simpler designs for a rustic appearance. Non-woven bags provide a smooth, consistent surface for clear branding and offer a cost-effective choice for larger quantities. Our team can recommend the most suitable material and printing method based on your artwork, preferred finish and budget.

Printing, dyes, coatings and synthetic stitching can affect whether the finished bag is fully biodegradable. Check the specification of your chosen bag with our team, and do not place it in home compost unless it is specifically certified as suitable.

For instance, organic cotton & canvas bags are made from highly eco-friendly materials, and jute bags are made from biodegradable materials. Some of our fabric bags are recyclable too.

Where a shade can't be hit exactly on a particular material or print process, we'll tell you before we go to print and show you the closest match we can achieve.

Yes, samples can be arranged so you can assess the bag, material, size and finish before committing to a full order. Availability may vary depending on the bag type, specification and the type of print requested. As far as possible, we aim to provide samples that closely reflect the final bag you are looking to create.

As part of our process, you will receive an artwork proof before production begins. We’ll work with you on any revisions and help tailor your design to the available print options. Production will only begin once you’re happy with the artwork and have approved it.
