Artwork guidelines
Before you finalise your artwork, check line widths and gaps: lines that are too thin break up in print, and gaps that are too narrow fill in. Here are the rules for each material.
i.Measuring handle length
Handle length is measured along the handle from the bag opening, not straight up to the top of the handle.
ii.Rules by material
Figures are the minimum line width or gap
