What it is for
A backpack, duffel or pouch is a working object: it gets packed, thrown in a car and taken on trips.
Look at the print area below — on a bag it is often a single front panel, not the whole surface.
Dye sublimation
Sublimation prints the design onto transfer paper with dye ink; heat then turns the dye into a gas that bonds into a polyester coating or polyester fibre.
Colour becomes part of the surface rather than a layer on top, so it is vivid and does not crack or peel. It cannot print white: white in a design shows as the colour of the item itself, which is why sublimated items are white or pale.
There is no texture at all — on fabric you cannot feel the print, and on a mug it is under a smooth coating.
Designs that suit it
Panels on structured bags are interrupted by zips and straps; a pattern or a mark sized to one panel works better than one large picture.
The print area is on the front: 4,950 × 11,100 pixels, about 16.5 × 37.0 in at 300 dpi — a tall, portrait area. The studio generates the design at that size, so it is printed from a full-resolution file rather than an enlarged preview.
Full-colour photographs, paintings and edge-to-edge patterns. Less suited: designs that rely on white ink, and important detail right at seams, handles or edges where the transfer wraps.

Where it is printed, and when it arrives
It is printed to order in Miami, FL, United States, then shipped: 5–15 business days to Canada ($13.28 CAD for the first item) and 2–5 business days to the US ($6.78 CAD). Each window counts from the day the order is placed and includes printing.
Printed in North America, so it ships without an overseas leg and no import duties apply within North America.
To arrive by Christmas 2026 with standard shipping, order by December 4 for Canada and December 18 for the US — that is the Drawstring Bag's own longest window counted back from December 25.

Before you order
How long does the Drawstring Bag take to arrive?
To Canada, 5–15 business days, with first-item shipping at $13.28 CAD; to the US, 2–5 business days ($6.78 CAD). It is printed to order in Miami, FL, United States, and the window counts from the day you order, printing included.
Can I put a photo on the Drawstring Bag?
Yes. Sublimation reproduces photographs in full colour with no texture. White areas print as the item's own colour, so a photo with a white background blends into it. The print file is 4950 × 11100 pixels on the front, so a photo should be at least that size to print sharply.
When should I order the Drawstring Bag for Christmas?
With standard shipping, by December 4 to Canada and December 18 to the US. Those dates count this product's longest delivery window back from December 25 in business days. Express shipping at checkout, where it is offered, shortens the window.
How do I look after the Drawstring Bag?
It is sublimation-printed, and that sets the care. Wash cold, inside out. Tumble dry low. No bleach; the colour is in the fibre, so it will not crack.
