Decoration Zones

Most visible decoration zones

Choosing the right placement determines your design's impact. These zones show where decoration typically performs best. We don't restrict placement—we guide you to the most impactful options and send a proof before production.

Front Body

Highest Visibility

Primary branding real estate. Large, flat surface ideal for screen print, embroidery, DTG, and patches. Maximum visibility when carried.

Back Panel

Medium Visibility

Secondary branding placement for additional logos, taglines, or event details. Works well for screen print and DTG.

Handles & Gusset

Low Visibility

Accent branding on handles and gusset areas for coordinated, subtle logo placement on smaller surfaces.

Expert Guidance

We guide placement and send a proof before production.

Decoration Library

Screen Printing

Bold, vibrant graphics with crisp edges on cotton canvas and poly-cotton surfaces. Plastisol, waterbased, and specialty inks available for any order size.

Embroidery

Premium tactile branding with dimensional texture. Professional thread-based decoration that adds perceived value and holds up through heavy use.

DTG / DTF

Full-color digital printing for complex design and photographic details on cotton surfaces. Soft hand feel with no heavy ink buildup.

Eco-friendly, flexible graphics that move with the bag. Ultra-soft, non-cracking prints ideal for organic and recycled materials.
