Printed bags

Tote bags and canvas bag printing, sized to the face of the bag

A tote is bought by its bag size and decorated by its image size, and the two are separate figures. The image has to fit the flat face between the seams, which is why the A3 transfer is offered on the two larger canvas bags and not on the small one.

Tote bag printing in Singapore, in one paragraph

EZ Print prints tote bags in Singapore, and has done since 2017. Canvas bags come in three sizes, 340 × 360 × 80 mm, 420 × 470 × 140 mm and 620 × 440 × 160 mm, with a full-colour heat-transfer image at A6, A5 or A4, and A3 on the two larger bags. Non-woven bags come 245, 300 and 390 mm wide, with a one-colour silkscreen on one or both faces, or a full-colour transfer up to A4 (A5 on the small bag). A beige cotton tote is printed in full colour from a single bag, within 280 × 280 mm. The image has to fit the face of the bag, clear of the seams and the gusset. Standard turnaround is generally 7–14 working days. Express is quoted per job. EZ Print quotes from the specification and does not publish prices.

The specification a tote bag is quoted from

Bag, bag size, decoration route, image size, faces and quantity. Six answers, and every one of them is a choice from a stated list rather than a description, so a tote can be specified in a single line.

A tote is not drawn here at true size. Every drawing on this site is made at 1 mm to 22 px so a reader can hold a real object against the screen, and every bag on this page is at least 245 mm wide — more than twice what the column can carry without crossing the text beside it. The figures that matter are stated instead: the three bag sizes in each material as width × height × gusset, and the transfer sizes as A-sizes, so an A4 transfer is exactly the A4 sheet already on the desk. Hold one against the bag size and the fit is decided.

A6–A3

The heat-transfer image sizes on a canvas bag. A3 is offered on the medium and large bags only; the small bag’s face is 360 mm tall and an A3 sheet is 420.

Canvas bags: Canvas in three sizes: 340 × 360 × 80 mm, 420 × 470 × 140 mm and 620 × 440 × 160 mm, width × height × gusset.
Non-woven bags: Three sizes: 245 × 330 × 76 mm, 300 × 350 × 90 mm and 390 × 350 × 90 mm, width × height × gusset.
Single-bag cotton tote: A beige cotton tote printed in full colour, within a 280 × 280 mm print area.
Heat transfer: A full-colour image on one face or on both. A6, A5 and A4 on every canvas bag, A3 on the two larger; A6 to A4 on non-woven, up to A5 on the small one.
Silkscreen: One colour on one face, or one colour on each face, on all three non-woven sizes. One screen per colour.
Artwork: A transfer at its A-size and 300 dpi in CMYK; a screen as outlined vector, one layer per colour.
Quantities: The canvas and non-woven catalogue ranges are quoted from 100 bags. The beige cotton tote is quoted from 1.
Turnaround: Standard is generally 7–14 working days. Express is quoted per job.

The material

Bags, and what each one is decorated with

Three bags, and each comes with its own decoration routes. Nothing on this page is a sheet from the caliper table, so nothing carries a caliper or a fabric weight — the bags are described by size and by how they are printed.

Canvas bag

Also sold as canvas tote, canvas shopping bag.

A woven canvas bag with a gusset, in three catalogue sizes. The gusset figure is the depth of the base: 80 mm on the small bag, 140 mm on the medium and 160 mm on the large, which is what decides how bulky a load it takes.

Under ink: Decorated with a full-colour heat-transfer image pressed onto the face. Because the image is a printed film, gradients and photographs hold; the weave shows faintly through it.
Best for: Conference and launch bags, retail carriers, anything with a multi-colour or photographic image.
Avoid for: An A3 image on the small bag. Its face is 340 × 360 mm and an A3 sheet does not fit inside it.
On the schedule: The transfer is printed first, then pressed onto each bag one at a time.

Non-woven bag

Also sold as non woven bag, PP non-woven bag, goodie bag.

A bonded fabric bag rather than a woven one, in three sizes. The two larger bags share a 350 mm height and a 90 mm gusset and differ only in width, 300 mm against 390 mm.

Under ink: Takes either a one-colour silkscreen, on one face or on both, or a full-colour heat-transfer image. Screen ink is a flat colour; the transfer carries an image.
Best for: Event goodie bags, exhibition giveaways and seminar packs run in the hundreds.
Avoid for: An A4 transfer on the small bag. Its transfer range stops at A5.
On the schedule: A screen is made from the vector before the first bag is printed; a transfer is printed and then pressed.

Beige cotton tote, single-bag route

Also sold as printed cotton tote, custom tote, one-off tote.

A beige cotton tote printed to order from a quantity of one. It exists for the bag that has to be a single piece — a sample before a run, a gift, a replacement.

Under ink: Printed in full colour inside a 280 × 280 mm area. The ground is beige rather than white, so pale colours print over beige and read warmer than the screen.
Best for: Samples, one-off gifts and short runs where a screen would cost more than the bags.
Avoid for: Assuming the print can run larger. 280 × 280 mm is the limit, and it is smaller than an A3 transfer.
On the schedule: Printed bag by bag, so a single tote is the same job as ten.

Say which bag, which size and how many with the enquiry. Those three answers decide whether the job is a transfer, a screen or a single-bag print, and each of those prepares the artwork differently.The materials library

A two-face silkscreen bag is two passes and, where the faces differ, two screens. Where both faces carry the same mark, one screen serves both.

Decoration routes, and which one leaves a screen behind

On a printed bag the decoration route is the only finishing there is. A silkscreen is made once per colour and kept; a heat transfer needs no tooling and is printed fresh from the approved file each time. Which route a bag takes is decided by the artwork, not by preference.

Bag decoration: what each route needs, and whether its tooling is kept for the reorder
Finish	Tooling	What the reorder pays for
Silkscreen printingA screen per colour, made from the vector and kept on file for the reorder	Made once	Kept on file with your approved artwork. The reorder runs from it.
Heat transferA full-colour image printed on film and pressed onto the face. No screens	None	Nothing to make, so nothing to remake.

Scroll the table sideways to see every column.

Every operation here is quoted inside the standard window. What changes between a first order and a second is the tooling: a die, a block or a screen is made once and then kept on file with your approved artwork, which is why the reorder of a job carrying one is a different job from the first.

A tote is two sizes, not one. The bag size is what the recipient carries; the image size is what they see, and the second has to fit inside the first with the seams left out.

Pairings that work

A photographic image as an A4 transfer on the medium canvas bag. The face is 420 mm wide, so the image sits with room around it.
A one-colour logo silkscreened on both faces of the large non-woven bag for an exhibition run. One flat colour, one screen if the faces match, kept for next year.
A single beige cotton tote printed first as a sample, then the run quoted on the catalogue canvas bag once the image is approved.
An A5 transfer on the small non-woven bag. It is the size the 245 mm face carries without crowding the seams.

Combinations that fail

An A3 image for the small canvas bag. The face is 360 mm tall and an A3 sheet is 420 mm, so it is not offered on that bag.
A photograph or a gradient by silkscreen. A screen lays one flat colour; a multi-colour image belongs on a transfer.
Artwork drawn to the full face of the bag. The side seams, the handle stitching and the gusset fold all sit inside the bag size, and an image drawn to them runs over them.
Expecting the single-bag tote to carry an A3-sized print. Its print area stops at 280 × 280 mm.

Bag sizes and transfer sizes

Bag sizes are width × height × gusset in millimetres. Transfer sizes are A-sizes, so A6 is 105 × 148 mm, A5 148 × 210 mm, A4 210 × 297 mm and A3 297 × 420 mm.

One file for the image size, not for the bag

Tote artwork is drawn to the image, not to the bag. A transfer file is built at its A-size; a screen file is a vector at the size it will print. The bag size only decides which image sizes are on offer.

The file

Transfer artwork: Built at the chosen A-size, at 300 dpi, in CMYK.
Screen artwork: Outlined vector, one layer per screen colour, at the size it prints on the face.
Two faces: One file per face, named front and back. Say if both faces carry the same image.
Single-bag tote: Artwork no larger than 280 × 280 mm at final size.
Placement: State the position on the face. If it is not centred, give the offset from the top seam in millimetres.
Fonts: Outlined on every file. A screen is made from outlines, and a transfer file opened elsewhere loses live type.

The colour, and the detail

Transfer colour: CMYK. A transfer is a printed film, so it behaves like print on paper rather than like ink on cloth.
Screen colour: A named Pantone reference per screen. A one-colour screen is one ink, mixed to that reference.
Minimum line: 1 pt on a screen. A finer line fills in.
Minimum type: 10 pt on cloth. Smaller counters close up in the weave.
Beige ground: On the beige tote, pale colours print over beige. Send the key colour as a Pantone reference.

Send the bag, the bag size, the image size and the number of faces, and the artwork can be checked against the face it is going onto before anything is printed.

Turnaround

The route decides the schedule

Standard
Standard turnaround is generally 7–14 working days.
Standard orders. The schedule for specialist finishing is confirmed in your quotation.
Express
Same-day and urgent printing available.
Subject to artwork approval, payment, print type and production availability. Timing confirmed per job.

What sets the date: The decoration route. A transfer is printed and then pressed onto every bag by hand; a silkscreen needs its screen made before the first bag is inked; a two-face bag is two passes either way. All of it is quoted inside the standard window.
What a reorder skips: The screen. It is kept on file with the approved vector, so a repeat of the same silkscreen bag has nothing left to make. A transfer reorder reprints from the approved file at the same A-size.
If the date is tight: Send the bag, the size, the route, the image size, the faces and the quantity, and ask for an express quotation. The quotation confirms the specification, production schedule and next steps.

Pressing a transfer and inking a screen are both done bag by bag, so the quantity moves the schedule more on a tote than it does on a printed sheet.

Questions asked about tote bags

Canvas or non-woven: which tote should I choose?

Canvas for a bag that should feel like cloth and carry weight, in sizes up to 620 × 440 × 160 mm. Non-woven for event and exhibition volumes, in three sizes up to 390 × 350 × 90 mm. Both take a full-colour transfer; non-woven also takes a one-colour silkscreen.

How large can the print on a tote bag be?

On a canvas bag, a heat-transfer image up to A3 on the medium and large bags and up to A4 on the small one. On a non-woven bag, up to A4, or A5 on the small bag. The single-bag beige cotton tote prints inside 280 × 280 mm.

Silkscreen or heat transfer?

Silkscreen for a flat one-colour mark: one screen per colour, made once and kept for the reorder. Heat transfer for anything with more colours, a gradient or a photograph: the image is printed in full colour on a film and pressed onto the bag, with no screen to make.

Can both sides of the bag be printed?

Yes. A transfer can go on one face or on both, and a non-woven silkscreen can be one colour on one face or one colour on each. Supply one file per face and say whether the two faces are the same.

What is the minimum quantity for printed tote bags?

The canvas and non-woven catalogue ranges are quoted from 100 bags. Below that, the beige cotton tote is printed in full colour from a single bag, inside a 280 × 280 mm area.

What does the third figure in a bag size mean?

It is the gusset, the depth of the base when the bag is open. 340 × 360 × 80 mm is a bag 340 mm wide and 360 mm tall with an 80 mm base. The 160 mm base on the large canvas bag is twice as deep, for bulkier contents.

Can a heat transfer go on a non-woven bag?

Yes. The non-woven bags are offered with a full-colour heat-transfer image at A6, A5 or A4, and at A6 or A5 on the small bag. Silkscreen remains the route for a one-colour mark at volume.
