How To Print Bags with Custom Transfers

We all carry them – to work, to school, and to the gym and their heavy use makes them a wanted custom printed item. Using custom transfers to print bags is very inexpensive, easy and profit generating.

The type of transfer you use on a bag will depend on the material of the bag itself. All of our products can be applied to cotton, polyester and poly/cotton blends. Grocery totes are often polypropylene and this requires the low temp screen printed transfer, Elasti PrintsĀ®. Our dealer service team will help you choose the right type.

Many tote bags are denier polyester. This is heavy, durable polyester that can be printed with a screen printed transfer. Because there are typically handles and/or pockets when heat printing, you will want to raise the print area. A good tool to use is a basic foam mouse pad or print perfect pad. Both of these can be cut to fit only under the print area for an easy application.
