Default Canvas / Cotton Tote bags

Hi Everyone,

Can anyone help me out with a question about tote bags? I need to purchase and press totes . We pressed a tote 100 % canvas before and we have mixed results. What is the difference between cotton canvas vs 100% canvas? Also if you don't want the paper thin bags, and you don't want to spend more than you can sell them for, which brand would you recommend?

Default Re: Canvas / Cotton Tote bags

I press on Toppers promotional tote, canvas handled totes, grocery totes, and large zippered totes with our heat press. For the heavier canvas, I preheat the bag, place transfer, cover with teflon sheet and then press for twice as long as a normal t-shirt. I also mist transfer/bag before pressing ... but I mist everything ... works for me.
