Custom Sublimation Tote Bag Printing

Sublimation dye bonds with polyester, so pure cotton canvas will print dull or fade quickly. That is why these totes use a polyester-based fabric. The page lists poly-cotton in one place and polyester in another, so confirm the exact blend in your quotation.

Sublimation totes are smooth polyester printed all over in full colour that cannot be felt on the fabric, while canvas totes are thicker cotton with a printed or embroidered logo on top. Choose sublimation for photographic, all-over designs and canvas for a natural, sturdy, simple-logo bag.

Yes, sublimation printing is designed for vibrant, edge-to-edge artwork, including photos, patterns and gradients. Note that sublimation cannot print white ink, so white areas in your artwork show the bag's base colour, which is why a white bag gives the truest colours.

Yes, you sign off on a proof or mockup of the tote before printing starts. Revisions remain possible after ordering, so look closely at how your artwork sits on the 38cm by 34cm panel and let us know which parts should be adjusted.

Yes, sublimation tote bags need at least 20 pieces for a corporate bulk order. Because the artwork is printed edge to edge, each run is made for one design, so ordering a quantity that covers your whole campaign is more practical than topping up later. Request a quotation to confirm.

Sublimation tote bags are printed by heat transfer. Your design is first printed on special paper, then pressed onto the polyester fabric with heat, so the dye turns to gas and bonds into the fibres. Because the colour sits inside the fabric, there is no raised layer and the bag stays soft to the touch.

Send JPEG, PNG, AI, PSD or PDF at 300 DPI in CMYK mode, with AI text outlined. For edge-to-edge sublimation, extend your background slightly beyond the trim line so no thin white strip appears at the seams, and avoid pale designs that rely on white.

Sublimation dye becomes part of the polyester fibres instead of sitting on top as a coating, so the print does not peel or crack and resists fading well. Wash gently in cold water and avoid bleach or high-heat drying to keep colours bright for longer.

The tote bag measures 38cm in height by 34cm in width. That fits an A4 folder, a notebook and a small bottle, and the flat panel gives a generous canvas for your artwork. Request a quotation if you need a different size.

Yes, a sample can be requested before you place a bulk order, letting you check how colours and fabric turn out. This is especially useful for sublimation, where vivid shades on screen can look different once printed on polyester. Share your artwork with the request.

Yes, the smooth panel and full-colour print suit conference and seminar delegate kits, where the tote can carry the event theme, a sponsor logo or a programme layout. They also work well for staff onboarding packs and roadshow giveaways, wherever a photographic design helps the bag stand out.

Choose sublimation when you want photographic, all-over colour on a lightweight polyester bag, and canvas or cotton for a sturdier natural look with a simple logo. Request a quotation or chat on WhatsApp with your artwork and quantity, and we will tell you which suits it best.
