FAQ
Get answers to common questions about materials, decoration methods, and ordering.
What is the difference between bull denim and standard canvas?
Bull denim is a heavyweight 100% cotton fabric with a distinct diagonal twill weave, offering a more structured and premium "retail" feel. Standard canvas has a plain weave and is often used for everyday totes and promotional bags.
Can I print on the side gussets of the bag?
Yes! We can decorate the side gussets on most of our expandable shopping bags. This is a popular spot for vertical text, website URLs, or secondary branding.
What is the minimum order quantity for custom shopping bags?
We accept any quantity with no minimum order requirement, allowing you to order a single custom bag or thousands. Every order includes a free digital proof before production.
Are these bags washable?
Yes. Our cotton, canvas, and denim bags are fully machine washable. We recommend washing in cold water and hanging to dry to maintain the integrity of the print and prevent shrinkage.
Do you offer organic or recycled bag options?
Absolutely. We offer Econscious organic cotton bags and recycled non-woven polypropylene options. We also use eco-friendly water-based inks for our DTG printing method.
How quickly can I get my custom bags?
Standard production time is 10-14 business days after you approve your free digital proof. If you're on a tight deadline, we offer rush production options. Shipping times vary by location but typically take 2-5 business days.
