FAQs

What is canvas made from?

Canvas is a type of cotton but it has a sturdier, stronger weave than regular cotton. All of our canvas bags are made from naturally grown, ethically sourced cotton fibres.

Why organic?

Our organic bags are certified by the Global Organic Textiles Standard (GOTS). GOTS is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibres, including ecological and social criteria, backed up by independent third-party certification of the entire textile supply chain. GOTS ensures that our organic bag production is based on a system of farming that maintains and replenishes soil fertility without the use of toxic, persistent pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. In addition, it includes welfare standards for animal husbandry and prohibits genetically modified organisms.

How do you ensure your canvas is ethically sourced?

All of our bags are manufactured in SEDEX certified factories. Because cotton (from which our canvas bags are made) is widely farmed in the developing world, certification helps us ensure that our supply chain adheres to ethical social and employment conditions.

Are these bags biodegradable?

Yes, our canvas bags are made from natural cotton and will eventually biodegrade. They will take longer to do so than regular cotton. So, expect a longer usable life from your canvas bags.

Can I custom print canvas bags? What's the minimum order quantity?

Minimum order for local printing is 100 bags and turnaround time is typically 3 weeks.

Minimum order for offshore printing is 500 bags and turnaround is typically 10 - 14 weeks depending on specifications and transit options selected (sea or air freight).

Branding Methods

Screen-printing – best for simple designs with a few block colours. It is the most economical way to brand your bags. Please note that screen printing is not ideal for logos with colour gradients, half tones or fine details. It can be difficult to achieve fine detail in screen printing on rough textures like canvas or jute.

Digital print/heat transfer – great for artwork with m
