Custom bags

A tote bag at 100 g/m² is good for one use: the fabric is thin and the handles give way under a few kilos. At 140 g/m², the bag handles shopping and can be reused. At 200 g/m² and above, you are into the solid bag you keep for years. The price gap is a few tens of cents; the gap in lifespan is counted in years.

Short handles are carried by hand, long handles go over the shoulder. On a bag meant for a trade show or a giveaway, the shoulder wins by a wide margin: hands are busy. It is a detail that decides whether the bag is used or folded into a pocket.

On a bag you often have 30 × 30 cm to work with. A company logo designed for a polo looks lost in the middle of all that space. Many orders benefit from adapting the design — logo plus tagline, or a wider pattern — rather than simply enlarging what exists. We suggest it at the proof stage.
