How to choose wholesale bags
Match the bag construction to the decoration and the use. Cotton canvas totes give screen printing and embroidery a stable, flat surface and suit storefront and event giveaways. Polyester drawstring bags and backpacks are lightweight and cheap for large promotional handouts, but their thinner panels favor screen printing or heat transfer over dense embroidery. For premium corporate gifts, a structured duffel or laptop backpack supports an embroidered logo panel cleanly.
Decoration surface and denier
Look at panel structure before you decorate. Flat, firm panels hold prints and stitches best, while soft unlined bags can pucker under heavy embroidery unless you hoop and stabilize carefully. Denier indicates the durability of synthetic bags, with higher numbers meaning tougher fabric for backpacks and duffels. Cotton canvas remains the most forgiving choice when a customer wants detailed multi-color artwork.
