Materials: cotton canvas vs recycled rPET
Material choice affects feel, print result, durability, and how you talk about sustainability on your campaign page.
Cotton canvas
Classic feel and excellent print results. Easy to explain to backers.
- Great for: totes, pouches, drawstrings
- Risk: heavy weights increase shipping cost
Recycled rPET
Strong sustainability story, good durability, consistent color.
- Great for: sports, backpacks, sleeves
- Risk: wording needs proof points (avoid overclaims)
How to decide
Pick based on tier price, shipping weight, and campaign narrative.
Printing & branding methods
Screen printing
Best value for bold logos and simple colors.
Heat transfer
Great for detailed artwork and gradients (when spec’d correctly).
Embroidery
Premium look; ideal for higher tiers and thicker fabrics.
FAQ (creator-focused)
What MOQ should I plan for a first campaign?
Plan an MOQ that matches your tier forecast and cashflow. For early campaigns, it is usually safer to start with one hero SKU and scale after the campaign closes.
What information do you need to quote accurately?
Bag type, target quantity range, material direction, logo method, and your timeline. Reference photos or sketches help a lot.
How do I avoid “sample doesn’t match production” problems?
Use a clear approval flow: confirm the spec sheet, approve a final campaign sample, and use QC checkpoints before bulk packing.
How do I plan packaging and shipping for backers?
Pick cartons that minimize dimensional weight, keep inserts simple, and plan by target region early (US/UK/CA/AU/EU).
