Our Fabric Bag Range

Why Choose Our Fabric Bags?

A printed fabric bag is the perfect option for reusability. Cost-effective and versatile, it helps to give your brand long-term exposure with repeated use over a long life.

Across our range you'll find four materials. Cotton is soft and comfortable in the hand. Canvas is heavier and holds its shape. Jute brings a rustic and more organic character. Non-woven is the lightweight, cost-effective choice when you're ordering in volume.

The range covers several bag types. We supply totes for shopping and events, drawstring bags for kit and merchandise, and gift pouches for smaller, more niche products. Each can be tailored in size and branding to its unique application. For a comprehensive breakdown of the different types and materials see our Fabric Bag Guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which material is better for a printed fabric bag: Cotton, Jute, Canvas or Non-Woven?

All these bag materials have merit. Cotton bags are comfortable to hold and look fantastic when printed, and they can also be made from organic materials. Jute bags are simple, elegant and natural, and come in large or small configurations. Canvas bags are made from a strong and simple material for fabric bags, perhaps the most common choice for a traditional tote bag. Non-woven bags balance strength, versatility, easy storage and cost-effectiveness to create a bag that’s ideal for those looking for a more simplistic solution. For a more comprehensive explanation, see our fabric bag guide.

What is the minimum order quantity for a printed fabric bag?

Our minimum order quantity is usually 100 bags. If you need fewer, speak to our team and we’ll discuss the options available. Larger orders reduce the cost per bag, making bulk quantities more cost-effective.

What is the estimated delivery time for fabric bags?

Our printed fabric bags usually take 2 weeks to manufacture, print and deliver, depending on your order quantity. Free UK delivery is included. If you need your bags by a fixed deadline, please confirm the date with our team before placing your order. We will aim to work around your deadline. 

What is the cost of a printed fabric bag?

There are several variables that can affect the cost of a printed fabric bag, from material, to printing, to handle choice and to style. Fabric bags are incredibly versatile, so we must adjust our prices based on the bag customisation and configuration chosen. The biggest impact on price will be order quantity – the larger the order, the lower the unit price.

What sizes are available for printed fabric bags?

Printed fabric bags can come in a range of sizes. Please see our fabric bag size guide for more information.

What are the benefits of using printed fabric bags?

Printed fabric tote bags are popular as reusable shopping bags. Not only does this make them eco-friendly, but it also allows you to get your printed design, branding and messaging in front of lots of people. A printed fabric bag turns customers or event attendees into a walking advertisement for your business.

Fabric bags are also comfortable to hold, come in many configurations, and also have much smaller minimum order quantities than plastic or paper bags.

Are printed fabric bags eco-friendly?

With such a wide variety of materials, some fabric bags are more eco-friendly than others. 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. Perhaps the most environmentally beneficial characteristic of fabric bags are their reusability, with users typically favouring these bags for reuse due to their robustness and style.

Are printed fabric bags biodegradable?

Some fabric bags are biodegradable, but this depends on their construction. Jute, cotton and canvas made entirely from natural fibres can biodegrade under suitable conditions. Non-woven polypropylene bags are not biodegradable.

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.

Can you wash a printed fabric bag?

Yes, all our fabric bags can be washed, but not all bags should be machine washed. For instance, machine washing a jute bag could damage the bag as it is made from natural fibres. If you need to wash your bags, we recommend doing your research on the best way to avoid damaging the material or print when washing.

Are printed fabric bags reusable?

Yes, all our printed fabric bags are reusable and due to their robustness and style, are the most popular bag to be reused.

How durable are printed fabric bags?

Printed fabric bags are designed for repeated use and are generally more durable than single-use carrier bags. Although their strength varies by material, each material remains robust for repeated reusability.

What are the materials used for printed fabric bags?

The main materials used are cotton, canvas, jute and non-woven fabric bags, each of which have their own unique benefits. We can also make printed bags from organic cotton and canvas and are able to print unique bag variants such as pouches and drawstring bags. If you have a specific fabric bag in mind, get in touch with us and let us know your requirements – we’re able to source and print bags that nobody else can.

Are there discounts for bulk purchases?

Yes, the more you order, the lower the unit cost for the bag will be. The cost-benefit will flatten out at different quantities depending on the bag you order, typically at 50-100 bags.

Can I order a sample before placing an order?

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.

Can you match specific Pantone colours?

Yes. We understand that brand colour needs to be exact. Send us your Pantone reference (or your brand guidelines) and we'll print to that reference as standard. 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.

How do I place an order?

Ordering your custom bags is simple and takes just four steps. First, choose your bag type, specification, handle type and any additional features you would like (we can assist in choosing the right bag type and size with you). Next, send us your artwork and how you would like it printed. We'll then provide your quote and expected lead time. Finally, approve your artwork so we can manufacture and deliver your custom printed carrier bags.
