Promotional AS Colour bags are AS Colour totes, backpacks, duffel, messenger, waist and toiletry bags that we decorate with your logo. The range runs from 320 gsm cotton canvas totes to bags in 100% recycled polyester, and we screen print, embroider or use transfers depending on the bag and artwork. They suit staff gifts, event bags and merch packs.

Which AS Colour bag suits your job?
AS Colour is a blank-apparel brand known for plain, minimal shapes, which is why its bags take a logo so well: there is no busy pattern to compete with it. Our range falls into five groups, and the choice mostly comes down to what the bag has to carry and how long you want it used.
| Type | Bags in the range | Fabric and size (from the product pages) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton totes | Parcel Tote, Shoulder Tote, Pocket Tote Bag, Denim Carrie Tote | 320 gsm 100% cotton canvas for the Parcel, Shoulder and Pocket totes; 350 gsm 100% cotton for the Denim Carrie. Sizes from 35.5 x 39 cm to 50 x 40 cm. | Events, retail, everyday carry |
| Backpacks and messenger | Recycled Travel Backpack, Recycled Strap Backpack, Recycled Messenger Bag | 100% recycled polyester. The Travel Backpack is 360 gsm and 21 litres with a padded laptop sleeve; the Messenger is 360 gsm and 13 litres. | Staff, onboarding, client gifts |
| Duffel and transit | Area Pattern Duffel Bag, Recycled Transit Bag | The Duffel is 350 gsm recycled polyester with a PVC coating, 53 litres, 30 x 59 cm. | Teams, sport, travel |
| Waist and toiletry | Waist Bag, Recycled Double Waist Bag, Recycled Toiletry Bag | The Toiletry Bag is 100% recycled polyester at 210 gsm, 4 litres, with a YKK zip. The Waist Bag holds 2.5 litres. | Conferences, gift packs |
| Foldable grocery | Grocery Bag | 80 gsm 100% recycled polyester rip-stop, 35 x 52 cm, with a snap and elastic cord to fold it away. | Giveaways, shopping |
If the bag will be handed out in the hundreds, a canvas tote is the practical pick: it holds a full day of conference material and gets reused for shopping. Where you want the bag kept for years, a backpack with a laptop sleeve is the one people carry to work. If your buyers want a lower-cost option from a different brand, our printed tote bags and calico bags cover that, and our branded backpacks include other brands.
Colours are limited: most bags come in black, with cream, grey marle, coal, denim and indigo on some of the totes. Check the colour options on each product page before you commit to artwork.
How can you brand AS Colour bags?
The right method depends on fabric and artwork, and our artwork team confirms the final choice on your proof. These are the ones we usually recommend:
- Screen printing is our usual pick for cotton canvas totes. The ink sits crisply on the weave and the cost per bag falls as quantities rise. It needs a setup for each colour, so one or two colours works best. See screen printing.
- Embroidery suits backpacks, messenger bags and the heavier recycled polyester styles, where a stitched logo looks like part of the bag. Fine detail and very small text don't stitch well, and your logo is digitised into a stitch file first.
- DTF or heat transfer carries full-colour artwork, gradients and photos at small quantities. See DTF transfers.
The Pocket Tote Bag's product page lists it as suited to screen printing, DTG and embroidery. For most corporate jobs on a canvas tote, we'd choose a one-colour screen print on the front, because it's the longest-lasting and best-value option for a simple logo. Send vector artwork (AI, EPS, SVG or vector PDF) where you can, and a 300 dpi PNG or JPG is fine for full-colour methods.
Ordering AS Colour bags
There's no minimum order, so a team of ten can order a set of backpacks as easily as an event can order a few hundred totes. Each order has a one-off setup for the logo, which is why the price per bag drops noticeably from around 10 units. Many of these bags show quantity pricing on their product page, and your quote confirms the branded price. You'll get a free digital proof showing the bag, colour, logo size and position, and nothing goes into production until you approve it. We decorate stocked bags in house, and your quote confirms timing. Freight is quoted separately.
Who buys branded AS Colour bags?
Conference and expo organisers give out canvas totes because the bag carries everything else from the event, so the logo moves around the venue all day and is often reused for months. HR teams build onboarding packs around a recycled polyester backpack or messenger bag, which new starters use for the commute, and our kitting service packs them with the rest of the kit. For client thank-yous, a toiletry bag or duffel suits business travellers, and it sits in a bag cupboard rather than a bin.
If you're matching merchandise, many buyers add AS Colour caps and hats or AS Colour accessories to the same order. Laptop-carrying staff may also want a look at our laptop bags, and teams that travel often need duffle bags.

Frequently asked questions
Is screen printing or embroidery better on an AS Colour tote?
Screen printing is usually better on a canvas tote, because the ink sits on the cotton weave and handles a big logo at a lower cost per bag. Embroidery works on the sturdier 320 gsm canvas totes and gives a stitched, more formal look, but it suits compact logos with little fine detail. Your proof shows which one we recommend for your artwork.
Can you print a full-colour photo on an AS Colour bag?
Yes, DTF or heat transfers can reproduce full colour, gradients and photographs on a bag, and they work at small quantities because they don't need a screen for every colour. Screen printing is limited to the colours you pay setup for. The proof shows how the colours will look on your bag colour.
How big can the logo be on an AS Colour tote bag?
The logo is sized to the printable area of the bag, so a Parcel Tote at 35.5 x 39 cm takes a smaller design than the 50 x 40 cm Pocket Tote. We don't set a fixed maximum. Your proof shows the exact size and position, and you can ask for a larger or smaller version before approving.
Can the recycled polyester backpacks be embroidered?
Embroidery is the usual choice on backpacks and messenger bags, since a stitched logo suits a structured bag. Coated or very lightweight fabrics, such as the rip-stop Grocery Bag, are less suited to stitching, so print or transfer fits better there. Our artwork team confirms the method for each bag on your proof.
What artwork file do I need for a branded bag?
Vector artwork is best: AI, EPS, SVG or a vector PDF with fonts outlined. You need it for screen printing and for digitising an embroidery file. A 300 dpi PNG or JPG at actual size works for full-colour transfers. A low-resolution logo from a website usually needs redrawing, and the artwork team can help.
Is there a minimum order for AS Colour bags?
There's no minimum order for AS Colour bags, so you can order a handful of backpacks for new staff. Every order has a one-off logo setup, which means the price per bag drops noticeably from around 10 units. Choosing one colour or one position also helps the total. Your quote shows the quantity breaks for the bag you pick.
Can I mix colours of one AS Colour tote in the same order?
Yes, you can mix colours of the same bag in one order, and the whole order counts toward volume pricing. For example, a Shoulder Tote in black and cream can share one design: a light logo version goes on the black bags and a dark one on the cream. Different bag styles can be combined in one order as well.
Can I see an AS Colour bag before ordering a full run?
Yes, we can supply an undecorated physical sample so you can check the fabric weight, handle stitching and zips, and the sample cost is confirmed with your quote and credited back if you go ahead. We also send a free digital mock-up before anything is made, and you can visit our Annandale showroom by arrangement.
How long do branded AS Colour bags take?
Some orders for stocked bags can be ready the same day, because we decorate in house, but the quote confirms the timing for your bag, method and quantity. A longer lead time gives a better unit price, and rush production is available at extra cost. Your account manager confirms any rush date with production.
How do I get the best price on branded bags?
Order around 10 or more so the setup is spread, keep the logo to one colour in one position, and combine bag styles into a single order. Choosing flat embroidery over 3D puff helps too. A longer lead time also reduces the unit price, and the quote confirms the branded price.
