How Do You Write on a Canvas Bag?

Tips to Personalize Yours Like a Pro

In a world where personalization reigns supreme, there’s something charmingly unique about a well-customized canvas bag. Whether it’s for promotional use, a corporate giveaway, or just your own daily carryall, writing or designing on personalized canvas bags gives your brand—or personality—a spotlight.

So, how exactly do you write on a canvas bag? And what’s the best way to make it last? Let’s dive into the fun and functional world of canvas customization.

1. Choose the Right Canvas Bag

Before anything else, make sure you’re working with a high-quality bag. At CraftClothing.ph, we offer a wide variety of personalized canvas bags made with sturdy, long-lasting fabric that’s perfect for customization. Whether you need a tote, duffel, backpack, or drawstring bag, we’ve got styles to suit every use and personality.

2. Pick Your Method of Personalization

When it comes to “writing” on a canvas bag, you have several stylish options:

Embroidery
Want a premium, long-lasting look? Embroidery is your best friend. It's perfect for logos, names, or minimalistic designs. This method adds a textured feel and won’t fade even after countless washes.

Silkscreen Printing
For bold designs and vibrant text, silkscreening is a great choice. This method works well with large fonts, logos, and detailed graphics, giving your bag a clean, striking finish.

Sublimation (for light-colored bags)
If you want photorealistic or multi-color artwork, sublimation is a go-to—but keep in mind it works best on light canvas materials.

Hand-Painting or Fabric Markers
Feeling crafty? Go fully DIY with textile paint or fabric markers. Great for one-off designs, though not as durable as the options above.

At CraftClothing, we offer all of these options and more—so you can choose what best fits your vision and usage needs.

3. Prep Your Canvas

No matter your method, prepping your bag is crucial. Make sure your canvas is clean, dry, and flat. Iron it gently if needed. This gives your design a solid, wrinkle-free foundation and helps the ink or thread adhere properly.

4. Make It Meaningful

The beauty of personalized canvas bags is that they’re not just functional—they’re expressive. Think of messages, logos, artwork, or even quotes that reflect your brand or personality. At CraftClothing, we’ve helped customers design everything from sleek corporate branding to quirky, feel-good phrases like “Sip Happens” or “Totes Ma Goats.”

And don’t forget: You’re not limited to just words. Add logos, symbols, or illustrations that make your design stand out.

5. Let CraftClothing Bring It to Life

If DIY sounds a little too DIY for your taste, let the experts handle it. At CraftClothing, we make the process of customizing your canvas bag super easy:

• Step 1: Share your idea or logo

• Step 2: We’ll send you a free mock-up and quote
