I am new to the heat press industry and I wanted to try some canvas bags. Once I ordered canvas bags and they were too stiff and heavy. I also don't want something that's too flimsy and cheap, per say. Has anyone used canvas bags that appear to be good quality and yet a good price break? Also, any suggestions on what the heat press industry is charging for completed heat press canvas bags?

The problem with applying transfers to most canvas bags is the sizing that is used to coat the canvas. It is a hit or miss situation to find out if the transfers that you are using will adhere to the canvas bag that you purchase. If you can, try to but bags without any chemical coating.

We regularly press on the promotional style tote bags, the gusset bottom with different color handles, the grocery tote & the large zippered tote (which may now be discontinued).

Have also done boat totes (using a teflon pillow) and a few other miscellaneous styles. I always purchase 100% cotton.

Using inkjet transfers, I premist, press for several seconds, place transfer, mist, cover with teflon sheet and press twice as long as I normally do with a shirt.
