A few useful answersBefore your
Before your
first order.
The details that help turn an idea into a clear production brief.
Which dimensions should I send for a tote quotation?
Provide finished width, height and gusset, plus handle drop. Include a photo of the contents and state whether the tote must fit over the shoulder.
How do canvas and lighter woven fabrics compare?
Start with the desired feel, print appearance and carrying load. Compare physical swatches and finished samples; fabric weight alone does not determine the strength of handle attachments or seams.
Can the tote ship flat?
Flat packing depends on the base, structure, hardware and packing presentation. Confirm the folded dimensions and carton plan after the sample is approved.
