How to Customize Your Logo on a Duffle Bag: A Step-by-Step Guide

1. Choose the Right Logo Placement

Common areas for logo placement on duffle bags:

• Front panel (most visible)

• Side panels (secondary visibility)

• Top flap or handle area

• Inside lining (premium branding)

👉 Tip: For maximum exposure, the front or top is ideal. Use side panels for secondary branding or slogans.

2. Select the Printing Method

Each printing method offers different visual effects and price points:

🔸 Embroidery

• Best for: Premium, long-lasting branding

• Look: Textured, high-end feel

• Pros: Durable, works well on canvas and thick materials

• Cons: Higher cost for small or complex logos

🔸 Screen Printing

• Best for: Simple, bold logos

• Look: Flat, matte finish

• Pros: Cost-effective for bulk orders

• Cons: Limited detail; not ideal for multi-color gradients

🔸 Heat Transfer (Vinyl or Digital)

• Best for: Detailed or full-color designs

• Look: Smooth, clean image

• Pros: Great for complex logos and photo printing

• Cons: Less durable under repeated wash or friction

🔸 Rubber/TPU Patch

• Best for: Modern, sporty brands

• Look: Raised, high-contrast patch style

• Pros: Stylish, long-lasting

• Cons: Higher mold/setup cost for custom shapes

3. Prepare Your Logo File

Make sure your logo file meets these requirements:

• Format: AI / PDF / EPS / SVG (vector preferred)

• Colors: Specify Pantone (PMS) codes

• Resolution: 300dpi minimum for raster logos (JPG/PNG)

📌 Pro Tip: Send a white and black version of your logo in case of material color clashes.

4. Match Logo with Bag Material
