FAQs
What type of markers should I use on this bag?
You should use permanent textile markers or fabric paints specifically designed for cotton fabrics.
How do I heat-set the design?
Once the paint/ink is dry, place a pressing cloth over the design and iron it on a medium setting for several minutes.
Can I put the bag in the washing machine?
Yes, provided you have properly heat-set your decorations. Use a gentle cycle and cold water.
Is the design on both sides of the bag?
No, the pre-printed decoration is featured on one side only.
What are the dimensions of the bag?
The bag measures 370 mm in width by 410 mm in height.
Troubleshooting
Ink bleeding through to the other side
Always insert a piece of thick cardboard or plastic inside the bag between the layers before you begin coloring.
Color fading after washing
Ensure you have thoroughly heat-set the design with an iron after the ink has completely dried.
Difficulty getting clean lines with markers
Use a light hand and ensure the fabric is pulled taut over a flat surface to prevent ink from pooling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the bag, ensure it is laid flat on a clean, hard surface. Use fabric-specific markers or textile paints for the best adherence to the cotton surface. Always perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area if using new materials. For care, wash the bag on a gentle cycle in cold water after heat-setting the design, and avoid using harsh bleaches or high-heat drying, which may degrade the cotton or the custom artwork over time.
