Branding guide
Logo printing on tool bags
Tool Bags can be branded with screen printing, woven labels and patches and metal logo plates. The best method depends on your logo, the material and the quantity.
Quick answer
Screen printing is the most common way to brand tool bags — bold logos on large bulk runs. For one or two flat colours, large quantity, choose screen printing. The usual logo position is the front or side panel.
