Branding guide

Logo printing on swimming bags

Swimming Bags can be branded with screen printing, heat transfer printing and digital printing. The best method depends on your logo, the material and the quantity.

Quick answer

Screen printing is the most common way to brand swimming bags — bold logos on large bulk runs. For one or two flat colours, large quantity, choose screen printing. The usual logo position is the main side panel.

Watch-outs by method

  • Screen printing: Every extra colour adds a screen and a print pass; gradients do not reproduce well.
  • Heat transfer printing: Check wash and abrasion durability for daily-use bags.
  • Digital printing: The right process depends on the fabric — sublimation needs light polyester.
