Photo bags let you customize your own bag so you can forget the designer lable and be your own designer.Create a personalized bag that's all about you – your memories, your style, your personality. Photo bags allow you to use your own photo, artwork, graphic design or text to create a bag that truly reflects who you are. Photo bags are not only practical, they are a conversation piece that you will want to use over and over again. Photo bags come in a wide variety of styles, sizes and materials to suit different tastes and needs, from stylish leather handbags, to canvas bags for grocery shopping.

What you should look out for when buying a photo bag:

Make sure your photo bag is made from durable material that can be at least surface washed, so your photo will stay looking good.
Choose a photo that can be suitably enlarged to fit your design – check the supplier's website for resolution details – usually a good photo from a 2 megapixel camera is enough.
Depending on the size and shape of your bag, your photo may be cropped so make sure that no important parts are near the edge.
Make sure you have the rights to the image you want to use.
Personalized products cannot usually be returned so make sure it is exactly what you want before you order.

Printing Process: Heat Transfer Printing
The heat transfer process is a simple and low cost method of printing on white bags. The image is transferred to a carrier paper and then ironed to the bag. This method produces brilliant color results, however, the rectangular transfer edge remains visible.
Printing Process: Digital or Direct Printing
Digital or direct printing is a fabric printing method that prints an image directly onto the fabric through a modified version of a traditional inkjet printer. The ink bonds directly with the fabric to produce a design that can be stretched and pulled without cracking the image. This method can be printed on colored fabrics.
Printing Process: Sublimation printing
Sublimation printing is normally used on white, synthetic materials (polyester). The photo is transfered to a carrier paper as with heat transfer printing, however, the difference is that only the ink from the photo is transferred to the fabric and not the transfer itself (no visible transfer edges). This is possible because the ink turns to gas when heated and bonds well to the fabric.
