Video transcript

1. 0:00A lightweight cotton tote can look premium or cheap.
2. 0:05Light isn't the problem; an unwritten spec is. The ounce label is fabric density, not bag weight—get measured weight in writing. Light suits one event, not groceries.
3. 0:17On thin cloth, a bold one-color logo with open space reads best. Keep art off seams. Solid blocks crack on folds; test transfers on spare blanks.
4. 0:28Then spec the bag: stock blank or cut-and-sew, pre-shrunk so prints stay centered, box-X stitched handles, options on the sheet.
5. 0:39Approve a physical sample, not just an e-proof. Inspect bulk against written checks: weight, size, handles, rub, shrink, cartons. Count back from your event date.
6. 0:50Send your artwork, quantity, event date and bag size.
7. 0:55Request a quote and a physical pre-production sample.
