How to Get Bags With Logo Printing

Small businesses are always looking for the most effective way to promote their company. One of the best ways is with promotional products that people will actually use. Tote bags are an effective form of advertising for small businesses because it is affordable and the ad will be seen by multiple people and for years to come.

A question that is asked frequently is, "How do I prepare my logo to be printed on a tote bag?" If you are unfamiliar with graphic design programs, then it is best to have a graphic designer do it. This will save time, effort and frustration.

Logos (or words) are printed onto bags by the screen printing process. In order to have clear, sharp artwork, the image must be created in a vector format. The most popular computer program used to create vector images is Illustrator. Vector images have file extensions of AI or EPS. Sometimes PDF file types save the vector format when it is opened in Illustrator.

A vector image is best described as an image without pixels. This allows the logo or text to be scaled to any size without blurring the image. A vector image is needed to create a screen because the ink needs to be pressed through clean edges when it is applied to the tote bags.

Even if you do not have a vector version of your logo, this does not mean you cannot get shopping logo bags. Usually a JPG or other popular file types can be converted into vector images. Then, it can be made into a screen and be ink can be applied to the bags.

Promotional tote bags are one of the simplest ways to promote a business. Customers love getting promotional products they can actually use. They will appreciate the gift and they will respect a company that is being eco friendly by cutting down the use of disposable bags.
