Why this method? Artwork to send
1. Screen printBest fit
- Bold logos and text in 1 to 3 solid colours
- Large runs, where the cost per bag falls as quantity rises
- Sharp, durable colour on cotton and canvas
Watch for: Each colour needs its own screen, so many colours or photos are a poor fit.
Send us: Vector artwork (PDF or AI) with Pantone references for each colour.
Screen print, heat transfer or embroidery?
| Method | Best for | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Screen print | Bold logos and text in 1 to 3 solid colours | Each colour needs its own screen, so many colours or photos are a poor fit. |
| Heat transfer | Many colours, gradients and photo-style artwork | Sits on top of the fabric, so a rough surface such as jute shows less detail. |
| Embroidery | A premium, raised look for brand marks and monograms | Fine lines and tiny text can fill in, and a large design raises the stitch count. |
| Woven label | A discreet brand mark on any bag, including jute | Small area only, so it supports a brand rather than carrying a large message. |

Printing questions
Which print method is best for a logo on a tote bag?
For a simple logo in one to three solid colours, screen print is usually the best fit: sharp, durable and efficient at volume. For many colours or photo-style art, heat transfer is the usual choice.
Can you print on jute bags?
Yes. Jute has a coarse weave, so bold simple logos in one or two colours work best. Very fine detail loses sharpness on rough fabric.
What file should I send for printing?
Vector artwork (PDF or AI) gives the best result. A high-resolution PNG works for heat transfer. Include Pantone references if colour matching matters.
Is embroidery better than print?
Embroidery gives a raised, premium look and suits simple logos. Print suits larger designs, more colours and bigger runs. The best choice depends on your artwork and quantity.
Do I get a sample before the bulk order?
Yes. A sample comes before the bulk run so you can approve the print.
