Make a positive impact with a tote that reflects your brand’s values. Our Islay reusable tote bag is crafted from a soft yet durable blend of 55% recycled cotton and 45% recycled polyester, giving it a sturdy feel and a sustainability story worth sharing.

Artwork Upload 

If you’d prefer to use your own design software to create your artwork, we’ve got some tips to help you design your print-ready file. 

Top Tips:  

• Use high-resolution images (minimum 300dpi), embedded in the PDF.  

• Use a minimum font size of 8pt to ensure legibility when printed.  

• Outline all fonts, or ensure they are embedded in the PDF.  

• Avoid overlapping paths—combine elements into one continuous graphic.  

• Outline all strokes by converting them to shapes.  

• Ink may spread slightly during transfer—avoid designs with closely spaced elements that could blur or merge.  

• White ink can be printed, so please ensure that any areas not intended for print are set to transparent rather than white.
