๐จ Promo Tote Design Tips
Important: Promo totes print in full colour (CMYK) but cannot print white
Our promo totes use a full colour printing process that prints directly onto natural canvas. We can print any colourย except white, the canvas colour shows through as your background. This process works best with simple, line-based designs - think logo outlines, not large filled shapes.
Why line work works best
Our printer is optimised for crisp lines and text, giving you clean, professional results.
โ Perfect designs:
- Logo outlines (not heavily filled logos)
- Text and lettering
- Icons with line work
- Hand-drawn illustrations
- Simple patterns
- QR codes
- Designs where the canvas shows through
โ Designs to avoid:
- Photographs
- Large solid colour blocks
- Heavily filled logos or shapes
- Designs requiring white ink
- Heavy shading
- Complex images with lots of solid areas
Why avoid solid blocks?
Large filled areas don't work well with our printer. As the bag moves through, it creates visible horizontal lines across solid blocks of colour. This means photos, filled shapes, and large colour areas won't look as crisp and clean as simple line work.
Need white printing or complex designs?
Check out our Custom Daily Totes! They can print white ink PLUS handle photos, solid blocks, and detailed artwork beautifully.
