Custom pantone dyed bag 

Pantone dyed bag

Pantone dyed bags are available on quantities of over 1000 bags. This bright and bold tote bag illustrating the busy streets of London’s China Town is a great example of Pantone matching fabric for bags. With its delicate and detailed screen print this bag for life is a great example of how effective a two-tone artwork can be.

By Pantone dying the fabric for bags, this client was able to achieve a perfect match to their brand colours, creating a unique fabric custom made to their requirements.

A heavy 15oz cotton was chosen to create a sturdy and durable tote, regardless of the weight of the fabric it can always be Pantone dyed.

Constructed with an all-over gusset and strong webbing handles, this bag is made to carry all your daily shopping, and more.

Straps and handles for tote bags

The length of a strap can be customised to suit the objective of the bag. Short handles for hand carry, long handles for shoulder carry or both. Across body straps, with adjustable buckles and usually used on messenger bags can also be used on a tote bag.

The handles on the bag can be made from a number of fabrics to suit the style of the tote bag. Leather handles or vegan leather (PU leather) can be added for a premium finish to the bag. Cotton webbed handles in contrast colours, stripes or overprinted is possible. Other suggestions for custom handles on bags include overprinted cotton or a rope.

Tote bag sizes

A standard tote bag size is 42 x 38cm. Making a bespoke tote bag means that you can make it any size and portrait or landscape orientation to suit its purpose. The size of the tote bag can be increased to include side panels and a gusset for greater capacity.

Lining a tote bag

Adding a lining to a tote bag can include fabric the same as the body of the bag or a lighter weight, either plain or printed. It can be in a different fabric such as a wipe clean PVC. The lining could serve as compartments inside of the bag for keeping the contents separate or internal pockets.

Fabric options for a bespoke tote bag

Cotton is a popular choice for bags. It comes in many forms such as recycled cotton, both pre-consumer and post-consumer waste and Fairtrade organic cotton are sustainable cotton choices. Cotton weights are measured in ounces or gsm and this applies to standard cotton or other greener cotton options.

Not limited to cotton, we work in a variety of fabrics including synthetics such as PVC or PU leather. Jute, bamboo and hemp are environmentally friendly options. Denim, none-woven PP, RPET for bags and polyester are all options to consider when working out what the bag you are making will be used for. Each of these fabrics have pros and cons associated with them, so it's a question we ask at the beginning of your bag project, so we can make sensible recommendations based on the bag purpose and your budget.
