Looking for something sustainable? Choose a bag made of organic cotton or jute.

Our printing is a transfer that is pressed onto the fabric using heat and pressure. For a logo or text in one or two colours, choose cut vinyl: crisp, opaque and sharp, in 104 foil colours, including fluorescent, gold, silver and metallic. If your design contains a photo, a colour gradient or many colours, choose a DTF transfer in full colour, which also covers well on black or dark bags. With a bag, the fabric determines what's possible:

• Cotton and canvasthe most rewarding surface. Smooth, sturdy and heat-resistant, so both cut vinyl and DTF print sharply onto it.
• Jutecoarse and openly woven. Thin lines and small letters get lost between the fibres, so a bold logo or short text in cut vinyl works better here than a design with fine details. Juco, a mix of jute and cotton, is somewhat smoother.
• Nylon and polyestermany backpacks, sports bags and trolleys are made from these. These fabrics tolerate less heat; we press them at a lower temperature, and some models cannot be printed.
• Coated outer fabric (PU or PVC)we don't print bags with a waterproof coating on the outside, as a transfer won't adhere to it reliably.

A bag has seams, handles, zips and compartments. For a good print, the fabric needs to lie flat under the press, so your logo always falls within a flat area, away from seams and where the handles attach. As a guideline:

• Shopper or tote bagup to about 25 by 30 cm on the front, and often also on the back.
• Gym bag with drawstringup to about 20 by 25 cm, below the cord.
• Backpack10 to 15 cm on the front pocket or flap, depending on zips and pockets.
• Sports baga logo of 10 to 20 cm on the side or the central panel.
• Pouch or wash bag6 to 10 cm; on small bags, the maximum print size is really limited.

On the product page, you'll see which positions can be printed per bag; the digital proof shows how big your logo will turn out.

Companies hand out printed shoppers to clients or use them as a trade fair gift. Shops and brands sell tote bags with their own design as merchandise. Sports clubs order gym bags or sports bags with the club name, schools and societies order bags for an anniversary or camp, and organisers fill goodie bags with them. Our customers come from the city centre, but just as often from Lent, Nijmegen-Oost, Wijchen, Beuningen and Arnhem.

Want to feel how sturdy canvas is compared to jute first? Drop by at In de Betouwstraat 40 or call 024 360 5753.

Wash a cotton or canvas bag inside out at a maximum of 30 degrees, without fabric softener, and let it air dry on the line. It's best not to wash jute: brush the bag clean or dab stains with a damp cloth. Never iron directly over the print.
