Just finished a lovely job for our client for some bespoke bags. We believe they are being used for a kit and the client was very specific in that they had to be made to a certain size, have a black contrasting zip, and made from eco-materials.
We made the promotional merchandise bags from our British Woven organic cotton that we stock for eco jobs such as this, and overlocked the bags on the inside to make sure they were finished properly to avoid loose threads inside.
Plain stock supplied this time as the client was limited in time and wanted to print them at their own suppliers and all bags were made from scratch and turned round in a couple of weeks.

A big thank you to Printwear & Promotion Magazine for our featured article on my company 10th anniversary.

By publishing it an old colleague has already been in touch to say hello and another client was reminded to get onto our web site and see what we have been up to so thanks again for the print.

Wow we are so chuffed to have won a rush job for one of our promotional distribution clients making a totally bespoke and rather huge beach bag.

500 bags took us 3 weeks, stacking in the overtime for my girls every evening and every weekend in between and really paying a lot of attention in the detail and the quality of the finished products.

Not a huge job you say but the logistics were full time for me to bring together the costs and then to source and go and collect the right fabric from the right mill.  It had to be loom state cotton to create the canvas quality feel, have double thickness webbing handles, incorporate a side pocket on the gusset and have a double thickness base, and all this before it's even printed.

We just made a great set of dye sub mug and coaster sets for a great client at Strand Marketing.

As the mugs aren't British Made Promotional Merchandise Mugs, you can see them here on this link via one of our consumer web sites in the Designer Mug section.... all from our own factory here in Lancs.
