Why Tote Bags?
Design Your Own Custom Printed Tote Bags
Custom tote bags are a great way to spread your message around Toronto. At Artik we'll screen print your design on eco-friendly tote bags and we'll make it simple. At Artik Toronto we have 30 years of printing experience (and we offer a 100% Guarantee!).
In the past few years we have been going through an environmental revolution. As we focus more on protecting our planet, the custom tote bag has become a popular marketing tool for environmentally aware grocers and companies.
Just as custom printed t-shirts and buttons have worked to advertise a product or business, tote bags can now be seen everywhere. They are like small billboards of your message being carried through busy metropolitan areas! Creating a number of custom tote bags that you can sell or give out to promote your product or business is also cheaper than you may think.
A number of online retailers are now printing and manufacturing custom tote bags. This is great news as these bags are an environmentally sustainable way to carry groceries or transport goods when people are out shopping. Plastic and paper bags are less eco friendly as these materials are usually used only once. Many grocers and retail chains are now actually charging for their bags not only because the price of plastic and paper is on the rise, but to discourage shoppers from using non reusable materials for bags. With more and more retailers charging a fee for bags or not offering plastic or paper bags at all, the popularity of tote bags will only continue to rise.
Tote bags come in a variety of different styles and also offer strength and comfort advantages over the traditional plastic or paper bags. A tote bag with a cloth handle distributes weight much better than a plastic bag and is far more durable meaning that you will no longer face the problem of a ripped or fraying plastic bag risking the safety of your groceries or important cargo.
Printing a custom logo on a tote bag is a unique advertising opportunity. We are getting to a point where people want and need tote bags to carry their groceries, documents and cargo. With such a large need, it is possible to print your company logo or an advertisement on these bags, through silk screening and have your logo displayed whenever someone is seen carrying your bag. Something as simple as printing a small amount and giving them away at a trade show or store opening can have your logo or advertisement being viewed by hundreds of people a day if it is shown in a busy city. A tote bag could have the same impact as a bus advertisement or t-shirt campaign as people will only continue to use this great product, allowing you an ongoing advertisement which can be viewed over and over again.
Artik is able to produce a number of different tote designs to match whatever vision you may have in mind for your tote bag. We can provide you with many colours, materials and styles for your tote bag campaign. Orders are kept affordable with bulk orders receiving a discount.
Getting a custom tote bag can be as simple as getting a quote and purchasing them online, soon enough your custom tote bags can be delivered to your doorstep and ready to give you a great reusable and eco friendly form of advertising!
At the end of the day, your tote bags will be attractive, durable and ready to be used by customers or shared as promotional gifts. Contact us at Artik Toronto to get your tote bags customized!

What is a Vector file?
Vector files use lines, curves and shapes to create an image based on mathematical formulas.
|
Advantage of Vector: Vector designs can be enlarged without getting pixelated or blurry.
Disadvantage of Vector: Photographs and images usually can't be vectorized. Vector is best for shapes and text.
Which programs use Vector? Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw are two popular vector art programs.
Common Vector Problem: Missing Font
If you are using a rare font, send us the font file (.ttf) with your vector design file (.ai .cdr)
 Solution 2:
Alternatively, send us a copy of your file with all fonts converted to curves (outlined). Be sure to save the original under a different name in case you want to edit the text later on. |
What is a Raster file?
Raster files use pixels to display an image.

Common Raster Problem: Low Quality Image
When creating a new document in Photoshop, select Image > Image Size and set the quality to 300 DPI. Note that enlarging a low quality jpg will not increase the quality. Once you have a higher quality image, send it to us!
