Well, it's probably the way a lot of people do it. We do all the designs and figure out the sizes we want the product to be and then we send all of that information to a company in China and have them make it all.
Here are some pictures they sent us - we're running low on the tote bags we made last year, so we're getting a new, bigger order - and with a couple of additional designs!
This is one of the bags we originally ordered from them, and it's sold well enough that we needed more!
This is one of our newer designs - we did a very small run on them back in December, and they've all but sold out - so we decided to get a bunch.
This is another of our newer designs that we had a small run of in December - this one completely sold out, and quickly - so we had to get more.
And then there's this onion. This is part of our original three tote bags for Happy Pantry. And it's one of our favorite designs. We just didn't like how, this time, the colors turned out. Luckily the company works with us to make sure the quality is up to our standards, so they did a couple of different versions (above) which were not to our liking, and finally figured out that instead of doing the standard screen printing, that they would use a heat press - and the results are below:
It is exactly like our drawing! It translated almost perfectly! So we're excited to get them in. They are currently on a slow boat - and should be in by the end of May!
