Yes, you can upload your own logo or design when customising your kraft bags. However, please note that blank areas in your design will show the natural colour of the bag (brown or white kraft). We recommend you use a logo, image or design with at least 300 DPI to get the best quality print. As a tip, single-colour designs that cover the entire print area may result in slight blemishes.

These bags are of great quality: The handles are sturdy and when your design is printed on the plain white background of the bag, it stands out so beautifully! Will definitely purchase again.

Love them!
