Personalized tote bags in Kenya

Personalized tote bags with approved fabric and print

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional print order: twenty purchased cotton tote bags, each with one adult-event logo in a 200 × 200 mm single-colour area. Blank target is a flat 380 × 420 mm bag with two existing handles; confirm actual usable print face and fabric. Include one same-lot spare for the sample. This is bag personalisation, not a promise of load capacity, food-contact suitability, biodegradability or permanent colour without evidence.
