Turn your jute or canvas bag into a practical branding tool with custom logos, artwork, colours and messaging.
The right printing method depends on the fabric, artwork, number of colours, required finish, quantity and intended application.
For the best result, provide your logo or artwork in a high-resolution format. Vector artwork such as AI, EPS, SVG or print-ready PDF is preferred where available.
Always approve the final artwork and placement before bulk production.Fabric weight is commonly expressed in GSM — grams per square metre. It helps describe the weight and thickness of a fabric, but GSM alone does not determine overall bag strength.
| Weight | Approx. GSM | Typical Application | Suitable For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light | 200–280 GSM | Lightweight promotional use | Events, giveaways, light carrying |
| Medium | 280–350 GSM | Everyday reusable bags | Grocery, retail, shopping |
| Heavy | 350–420 GSM | Structured & premium bags | Gifting, wine, retail |
| Heavy Duty | 420+ GSM | Specialised applications | Heavy-duty requirements |
Important: GSM should be considered together with weave density, yarn construction, stitching, reinforcement and bag design when specifying a product.

Organic cotton is produced under specific agricultural and processing standards. When certification is required, buyers should verify the applicable certification and documentation for the particular material and order.
Organic cotton refers to cotton produced according to recognised organic production standards.
Certification provides documented evidence that a material or supply chain meets the requirements of the applicable standard.
For certified requirements, buyers should request relevant certification details before confirming the order.
Important: Organic or certified-organic status should not be assumed from the word "cotton" alone. Certification requirements should be confirmed for the specific product and supply chain.
Natural jute and canvas bags should be cared for according to their fabric, finish, lining, print and construction.
For many natural-fabric bags, gentle spot cleaning is preferable to aggressive washing.
Excessive soaking may affect natural fibres, shape, colour or finishing.
Allow the bag to dry completely before storing it to help prevent moisture-related issues.
High heat can affect fabric finishes, prints, coatings and certain construction materials.
Strong bleach and aggressive chemicals may damage fibres, dyes, prints or coatings.
If a specific care instruction is supplied with the bag, follow that instruction first.
Care requirements can vary significantly between untreated jute, laminated jute, dyed fabrics, printed bags and canvas products. Always confirm the recommended care method for the specific bag.
