Hi! I do own a tote bag buissness actually and I’m wondering as I’m just starting where I should purchase the bags from?! I am paying around £2-£3 per bag at the moment and then buying the transfers for in actually not making that much profit at all as I sell them for £5! Please respond x
Thank you for sharing this information. What type of transfer paper did you use? Also any wax paper will do? And do you need a new wax paper for every press you do?
It's not a bother! All of my supplies are available on my patreon from the lowest tier! I don't use a new sheet of silicon paper each time, you just have to eyeball when you need a new one but I am sure there are more instructions on the paper packet
Thank you so much! What about the measurements of your designs/artwork? I’m just starting out and I’m unsure how to print out my designs with the measurements I want. Thank you! :)
Hi may I know where you get your heat transfer paper? I’d like the ink to be transferred to the paper, not the paper print stuck onto the bag. Thank you!
Thank you! I'm so glad you think so. I use the Epson ecotank 7700 but it is pretty old now! Have a look into the Ecotank range by Epson and see what suits your needs, I'm looking to upgrade to be honest
Hey, what temperature and time do you use for your tote bags? I have the same paper and press but mine gets always a little yellow when I use the heat mentioned in the directions :(
You might be pressing it for too long! I use 180 c for mine but it is different with each transfer paper and machine, it is best to follow their specific directions
My biggest problem is finding quality tote bags that aren't so expensive that I won't profit. If anyone knows of any good quality tote bags that aren't flimsy with flimsy handles, please let me know the source. Thank you.
Hey, I use the exact same transfer paper and I have faced some cracks in the print after time use. Does that happen with you as well and do you have any advice to fix that? I am selling my totes and I want to make sure that they are good quality.
as long as you follow the instructions for the bag and the transfer they should hold up fine! I have some that i have been using for years that still look great. However I have some where they've ended up in the wrong wash and have shrunk and cracked
@honeyfieldnotes So i've been thinking of selling some totes. Do you feel that as long as you include washing and care instructions, and if the person automatically throws it in the wash and not follow the instructions that you're not obligated to reimburse them, that's on them.
I am not a lawyer and i am not qualified to give legal advice!! I would definitely search this elsewhere for yourself but including it within the listing clearly is the best way to let the customers know in my experience
@@honeyfieldnotes Thanks, I wasn't asking for legal advice lol. It's no big deal, just wanted to know your opinion or what you do. I would hope no one would sue me over a tumbler. I would replace it rather than go through that.
thank you so much for this vid. gave me the push to design my own totes!!!
This is such a pretty design 😍 can I ask you where do you buy the tote bags?
thank you! I share my manufacturers list on my Patreon for all tiers ♡
Just thinking of starting the same business here in the Country where I work :) ✨✨
I hope it goes well!

I usually try and fit my designs as big as they will go on an A4 sheet!
@@honeyfieldnotes Thank you! :)
hi, what ink did you used? is it pigment ink on an inkjet printer?

Great video, very informative. Question, do you have a printer that you recommend?
Thank you! I'm so glad you think so. I use the Epson ecotank 7700 but it is pretty old now! Have a look into the Ecotank range by Epson and see what suits your needs, I'm looking to upgrade to be honest
@@honeyfieldnotes Thank you.
Please is it the regular printer and ink used for A4 paper?
I use regular inkjet printer ink!
Hi there, I enjoyed the video. Just wondering which supplier do it the blank tote bags??
Hobby lobby has good quality tote bags and they are on line.
from where to get high quality plain tote bags online ? thanks alot for the video
are these washable ? will the print peel of after a while or after few washes?
Yes. Washes destroy it over time
Do I have to use a sublimation ink printer

Hi! As long as you follow the washing instructions from the transfer paper and not use softner you should be fine! But maybe try experiment with it
Hey! What brand transfer paper is it? I was trying to go through her patreon but it’s confusing trying to find it
Hello, can I ask what model of printer you are using. Tysm
I use an Epson Ecotank!
@@honeyfieldnotes ohhh thank you so much!!
So cute 😍 and also, do the print fade away after washing?
Thanks!! As long as you follow the washing instructions for your chosen transfer paper it shouldnt
I like your magical wizard frog tote bag so adorable cute you don't have it available on your etsy shop
Thank you! It hasn't been released on Etsy yet! It should be up by the end of the month in my next Etsy drop
Is this sublimation?? I’m having a hard time finding polyester tote bags!!
This is heat transfer! I use transfer paper with inkjet printing with cotton tote bags
@@honeyfieldnotes thank you!
How well do they hold up in the laundry, my experience has been cracking after a couple of washes.
as long as you follow the instructions for the bag and the transfer they should hold up fine! I have some that i have been using for years that still look great. However I have some where they've ended up in the wrong wash and have shrunk and cracked

legal advice doesn't need to directly correlate to suing! But yes that makes sense haha
Does the design fade or peel off at all after you press it?
It depends how you look after it!
happy new year's eve 🥂🥂🥂
Same to you!
what size tote bag?
What size design did you choose?
I print my art on a4 sheets!
Please I need this equipment for my tote bags business but unfortunately no money to buy it🥺
Why do you waste time cutting around your image? Just curious
It probably helps with correctly positioning them on the tote
@@minmoni2452 ahh ok makes sense thank you
