What it is for
A tote bag is carried daily — to the shops, to work, to the library — so a design on one is seen by strangers constantly.
Handles hang from the top edge, so keep detail out of the top few centimetres.
Direct-to-garment (DTG) printing
Direct-to-garment printing works like an inkjet printer for fabric: water-based ink is sprayed into the fibres and cured with heat.
It prints full colour in one pass, so a photograph or a gradient costs the same as a single word. On dark fabric a white base layer goes down first so the colours stay true.
On light fabric the print is barely felt; over a white base on dark fabric it is slightly firmer, like a soft film.
Designs that suit it
Totes are flat and square, which suits a centred picture or a short line of type. Bold, high-contrast designs read best from a few metres away.
The print area is on the front: 3,000 × 3,600 pixels, about 10.0 × 12.0 in at 300 dpi — a roughly square area. The studio generates the design at that size, so it is printed from a full-resolution file rather than an enlarged preview.
Photographs, paintings, detailed illustration and small type all hold. Less suited: very fine hairlines and large solid blocks of colour on dark fabric, where the base layer is most noticeable.

Where it is printed, and when it arrives
It is printed to order in Oakville, ON, Canada, then shipped: 2–5 business days to Canada ($11.77 CAD for the first item) and 5–15 business days to the US ($23.69 CAD). Each window counts from the day the order is placed and includes printing.
Printed in North America, so it ships without an overseas leg and no import duties apply within North America.
To arrive by Christmas 2026 with standard shipping, order by December 18 for Canada and December 4 for the US — that is the Canvas Shopping Tote's own longest window counted back from December 25.

Before you order
How long does the Canvas Shopping Tote take to arrive?
To Canada, 2–5 business days, with first-item shipping at $11.77 CAD; to the US, 5–15 business days ($23.69 CAD). It is printed to order in Oakville, ON, Canada, and the window counts from the day you order, printing included.
Can I put a photo on the Canvas Shopping Tote?
Yes. DTG prints in full colour from the image file, so photographs and paintings reproduce well; they look best on high-cotton fabric. The print file is 3000 × 3600 pixels on the front, so a photo should be at least that size to print sharply.
When should I order the Canvas Shopping Tote for Christmas?
With standard shipping, by December 18 to Canada and December 4 to the US. Those dates count this product's longest delivery window back from December 25 in business days. Express shipping at checkout, where it is offered, shortens the window.
How do I look after the Canvas Shopping Tote?
It is DTG-printed, and that sets the care. Wash inside out in cold water. Tumble dry low or hang to dry. Do not iron directly over the print. No bleach or fabric softener on the printed area.
