How to choose
Start with the weave. Calico is a plain, lighter cotton suited to handouts, library and gift bags; canvas is heavier, holds shape and suits totes, duffels and backpacks built for repeated carrying. Check the stated weight and composition for the exact model, since canvas ranges widely and some bags are blends or recycled stock. Gusset depth sets what fits: a flat bag carries leaflets, a deep gusset carries groceries or a laptop sleeve. Handle length decides shoulder or hand carry. Match the decoration to the artwork. One-colour logos suit silkscreen on natural cotton; photographic or multi-colour artwork needs a model with full-colour digital print. Embroidery and transfer appear only on listed models, so confirm before committing artwork. Print areas differ sharply between bags, so scale the logo to the stated print size rather than assuming a full-face print. Ask for item-specific care and composition documentation for the chosen model. Request a quote with minimums, approve the digital proof, and allow realistic lead time for your event date. Setup and freight are quoted separately.

Frequently asked questions
Calico or canvas: which should I order?
Calico suits short-run handouts, library bags and gift pouches where a natural, plain look is the point. Canvas is heavier, keeps its shape and suits totes, duffels and backpacks meant for repeated use. Check the stated weight and composition for the exact model, since canvas varies and some bags are blends or recycled stock.
What artwork works on these bags?
Silkscreen suits one-colour, bold logos on natural cotton. Full-colour digital print handles photographic or multi-colour artwork, but only on models that list it. Print areas differ widely between bags, so scale artwork to the stated print size for the chosen model. Embroidery and transfer appear only on specific listed models.
How do minimums and quoting work?
Request a quote through Sense2 with the model, decoration method and quantity you need. Minimums vary by product and are confirmed in the quote. Setup and freight are quoted separately. Sense2 supplies finished branded products, not a print service for customer-supplied goods.
How far ahead should I plan my order?
Work back from your event or campaign date and build in time for quoting, artwork preparation, proof approval and production, plus freight. Approve the digital proof promptly, since production begins only after sign-off. Peak seasons tighten schedules, so ask about current timing when you request the quote rather than assuming a standard lead time.
What should I check about material and construction?
Check the stated weight, composition and weave for the exact model, since calico and canvas cover a wide range and some bags are blends, insulated builds or recycled stock. Look at gusset depth, handle length and stitching details in the specifications. Ask for item-specific care instructions rather than assuming washing guidance, since decoration methods and linings differ.
How does the digital proof and ordering process work?
After you confirm the model, decoration method and artwork, Sense2 prepares a digital proof showing placement and scale. Review it against the stated print area, then approve it in writing before production starts. Changes after approval can affect timing and cost, so raise questions at the proof stage rather than once bags are printed.
Woven weight, stitched seams, printed weave
Pick up two canvas bags and the difference arrives before the logo does. One has a floppy weave, thin straps and a seam that puckers. The other stands upright on its gusset, the handles are folded and stitched flat, and the silkscreen sits down into the fabric rather than sitting on top. None of this shows in a product photo. It shows in the second month, when the light bag is on a shelf and the heavy one is still doing the Saturday shop. Weight, gusset depth and handle length are the honest specifications. Read them before choosing, and match the decoration method to what the artwork actually needs.
