Choosing the Right Tote Bag for Your Needs
Selecting the perfect branded tote bags is an art that depends on your unique daily requirements. Here are some key factors to consider:
Size: Your tote’s size should align with your intended use. If you often embark on shopping sprees or need to carry bulky items, opt for a spacious tote. On the other hand, for everyday essentials like keys, wallets, and a book, a compact tote is a better fit.
Materials: The choice of materials matters for both functionality and style. Sturdy canvas totes are ideal for heavier loads, such as books or groceries, while lightweight cotton totes are perfect for casual outings.
Handle Length: Think about how you prefer to carry your tote. Shoulder straps offer hands-free convenience, making them great for those on the move. Shorter handles provide a classic, sophisticated look.
Closure: Consider your security needs. Totes with zippers offer added protection, while snap closures strike a balance between security and accessibility. If you need quick access to your items, totes with no closure are a convenient choice.
Gusset: Don’t forget to factor in the gusset. Some totes feature a gusset, which is extra fabric sewn into the sides and bottom of the bag. This design allows the tote to expand, accommodating various items with ease.


Custom Tote Bags Suggested Services
Elevate the appeal of your customized tote bags with a spectrum of creative options that turn them into true reflections of your style, brand, or occasion. Discover the array of services at your disposal to transform a simple tote into a statement piece:
Patches: Add depth and texture with custom patches. From classic embroidered patches to modern, eye-catching designs, patches create a unique visual element that enhances your tote’s aesthetics.
Embroidery: Elevate sophistication with custom embroidery. Intricately stitch your logo, design, or text, lending a polished touch that captures attention and adds a touch of elegance.
Flocking: Embrace a tactile experience with flocking. This raised, velvety texture adds a sensory dimension to your tote, turning it into a delight to touch and a feast for the eyes.
Water-Based Transfers: Infuse vibrant colors and detailed designs with water-based transfers. These transfers offer a soft, breathable feel, ensuring comfort while delivering intricate visuals.
Direct-to-Garment (DTG) Printing: Unleash vibrant, high-resolution designs with DTG printing. This technique—popular for DTG printing Los Angeles orders—seamlessly transfers digital designs onto tote bags, capturing even the finest details and gradients.

Screen Print - Ink Types

Eco friendly inks + screen prints are the true green alternative to screen printing. These inks replace traditional harmful inks and are 100% PVC and phthalate free.

Mostly used for athletic/activewear fabrics such as nylons, spandex, polyesters, rayons, lycra, that have a lot of stretch but can also be screen printed on other blends for different textures. These inks will make your prints stretch with the fabric and do not create cracks or creases when stretched. These should be printed on all sports jerseys, yoga apparel, athletic uniforms, and activewear.

We offer the 3M reflective ink prints as well as a standard reflective print that come in either a water-based (eco-friendly) or plastisol-based ink with the unique ability to reflect once a light source is aimed at the print. Popular uses for this new ink includes police departments, fire departments, E.M.S., and other safety professions. Has recently become extremely popular in the skate, surf, urban, and street apparel industries.

Well known for their soft feel and vibrant colors they produce when printed onto t-shirts and other textiles. When printed water based inks leave no hand feel behind so you can feel the fibers of the garment.

Inks that expands and rises when heated, giving a three dimensional look with a raised feel. Any Los Angeles t-shirt printer can buy inks and print them, but the real beauty and art of screen printing on t-shirts comes when you can mix inks correctly and accurately. Controlling how the puff inks actually puff is one example.

Silk screen t-shirt printing with plastisol is the oldest and most commonly used ink across the market to screen print your custom t shirts. The misconception how ever is that all inks are the same.

Specialty Order Off-Site
Available in both water based and discharge inks. The ink actually cracks in pieces the way you want it to so no two pieces will be alike. Great for vintage washed out looks while still brand new. This is custom silk screen printing at its best.

Specialty Order Off-Site
Perfect for creating custom silk screened T-shirts right here in Los Angeles. High Density inks can be matched to any color and rises in the drying process to create a 3D look. Inks can be raised to your desired height or width and can be printed with other high density inks of different sizes.

Specialty Order Off-Site
Burnout is a special screen printing process we use to removes the cotton fibers from a shirt, leaving only the polyester intact. It's perfect if you want to give your T-shirt designs that really cool see-through look.

Specialty Order Off-Site
Flocking screen printing can add a new dimension to your materials. Tiny particles of fiber are applied to a material with an adhesive, adding a suede-like or velvet texture to the surface. We color the fiber according to your designs, and you end up with products that stand out from the rest.
