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.
Direct-to-garment (DTG) printing
Direct-to-garment printing works like an inkjet printer for fabric: water-based ink is sprayed into the fibres and cured with heat.
It prints full colour in one pass, so a photograph or a gradient costs the same as a single word. On dark fabric a white base layer goes down first so the colours stay true.
On light fabric the print is barely felt; over a white base on dark fabric it is slightly firmer, like a soft film.
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: 1,500 × 1,200 pixels, about 5.0 × 4.0 in at 300 dpi — a roughly square area. The studio generates the design at that size, so it is printed from a full-resolution file rather than an enlarged preview.
Photographs, paintings, detailed illustration and small type all hold. Less suited: very fine hairlines and large solid blocks of colour on dark fabric, where the base layer is most noticeable.

Where it is printed, and when it arrives
It is printed to order in Monroe, NC, United States, then shipped: 10–30 business days to Canada ($15.19 CAD for the first item) and 2–5 business days to the US ($8.34 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 November 13 for Canada and December 18 for the US — that is the Matte Sling's own longest window counted back from December 25.

Before you order
How long does the Matte Sling take to arrive?
To Canada, 10–30 business days, with first-item shipping at $15.19 CAD; to the US, 2–5 business days ($8.34 CAD). It is printed to order in Monroe, NC, United States, and the window counts from the day you order, printing included.
Can I put a photo on the Matte Sling?
Yes. DTG prints in full colour from the image file, so photographs and paintings reproduce well; they look best on high-cotton fabric. The print file is 1500 × 1200 pixels on the front, so a photo should be at least that size to print sharply.
What colours does the Matte Sling come in?
4 colours: Sahara, Storm Grey, Deep Black, River Blue Navy.
When should I order the Matte Sling for Christmas?
With standard shipping, by November 13 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 Matte Sling?
It is DTG-printed, and that sets the care. Wash inside out in cold water. Tumble dry low or hang to dry. Do not iron directly over the print. No bleach or fabric softener on the printed area.
