- Optimal formats: Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF, CDR) with text converted to outlines. Files should have a resolution of no less than 300dpi.
- Colors: Please provide clear Pantone color numbers to ensure color accuracy. For CMYK four-color printing, provide files in CMYK mode. Inform us if there are spot color requirements.
- Design specifications: We will provide specific guidelines for printing file production (bleed, safety lines, color modes, etc.).
- Design support: If you only have ideas or simple sketches, we offer professional design services.
- Email designs to: info@dreambag.net

Shipping & Delivery
How is shipping handled, and what are the freight costs?
- Shipping Methods: We ship via sea (FCL/LCL), air freight, or international couriers (DHL, FedEx, UPS, etc.), depending on your order quantity, destination, and delivery speed requirements.
- Freight Costs: Costs are calculated based on your shipment's size/weight, destination, and chosen method. We'll provide a specific quote after receiving your order details.
Shipping for Small Orders?

Customization Options
Can I fully customize the tote bag's size, shape, and style?
Yes! We offer full customization:
- Sizes: Choose from standard templates or provide exact dimensions (LxWxH + handle length).
- Styles: Tote, drawstring, foldable, drawcord, bags with zippers/snaps/magnets, or unique shapes.
- Details: Add inner/outer pockets, reinforced bases, edge binding, or select handles (cotton, woven, leather, wood).
What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Our standard Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) is 100 units. Higher quantities may apply for specific materials or complex designs; this will be confirmed in your quote.

- Desired delivery timeline
Our account manager and design team will assess your needs, provide initial recommendations and a quote, and guide you through the subsequent sampling and order process.
How do you ensure mass production quality?
We guarantee quality through multiple checks:
- Supplier vetting: Materials sourced from qualified suppliers.
- First-article inspection: Initial production sample approval.
- In-process checks: Random inspections during manufacturing.
- Final QC: AQL-standard sampling or 100% inspection with optional reports.
- Quality agreements: Custom terms available per request.
Custom Printing Details
What printing methods do you support for logos and patterns?
We offer several techniques, depending on the material:
- Screen Printing: Vibrant colors, good coverage, cost-effective. Best for bold designs.
- Heat Transfer: Creates complex or photorealistic designs.
- Sublimation Printing: Produces durable, full-color prints that penetrate the fabric. No plates needed; great for small batches.
- Digital Printing: Directly prints complex designs onto various materials; ideal for small batches and quick turnaround.
- Laminated Printing (PP Woven): Printing + plastic film for enhanced brightness, water, and wear resistance.
Our design team will help you choose the best method for your material and artwork.
Are there setup fees?
No setup fees for most printing techniques. If a setup fee applies, we'll state this upfront.
Cost & Packaging
What is the price of custom tote bags?
The price for custom tote bags depends on several key factors:
- Material Selection: Prices vary considerably based on the fabric/material chosen.
- Bag Size: Larger bags require more material, leading to higher costs.
- Production Complexity: Factors like the number of print colors, specialized techniques (embroidery, gold foil stamping, etc.), and special features (inner/outer pockets, zippers, etc.) impact pricing.
- Order Quantity: Higher volumes significantly reduce the unit price as fixed costs (like setup and plate-making fees) are distributed across more units.
- Handles & Accessories: The type and material of handles (e.g., wooden handles, leather straps) and other accessories also affect the final cost.
How are the tote bags packaged?
Tote bags are typically compression-packed in cartons, ensuring safe and cost-effective transportation.
