Step 1

Help Clients Pick Their Perfect Tote Bag

Present popular styles and then customize it with color.


First things first, let’s find your client’s perfect bag for their branding! Evans carries a vast assortment of styles to choose from (we’re talking 40+), so whether your clients are after grocery totes, lunch bags, wine bags or pouches, Evans can bring their custom creation to life. All of their cut-and-sewn bags can be completely customized to select specific shades for the front and back panels as well as the side gussets. Note that custom bag orders have a 500-piece miniumum and 15-day production time.

Introducing the Design-ItStudio

Sometimes clients need to see products visually before they're comfortable signing on the dotted line. That will be no problem to make happen, thanks to the Design-It Studio by Evans. On this easy-to-use website, you can simply select a bag style, pick your colors and then upload logos to create virtual samples of your clients' specific requests.

Step 2

Make It Pop
With Imprints

Find the ideal decoration method for your client’s bag and budget.


Next up, it’s time to talk decoration. Ask your clients how much they’re aiming to spend on decoration to get a feel for their price point, then educate them on their options. Evans offers all of the most popular imprint methods, including screen printing, digital printing and full-color sublimation. Let clients know they can decorate the front, back and sides of their tote bags too for full-coverage customization. Pro tip: Bring a few samples or virtuals on your sales presentations and let clients see the striking results possible from each method. We recommend presenting each technique using the “Good, Better, Best” method for the greatest success.

Step 3

Bags Are Created and Shipped to Your Clients

Evans takes it from here to turn custom bag details into a finished product.


Now it’s time for Evans to work their magic. Once you’ve sent all of the project details over and the artwork is approved, the process begins. Evans gets to work, starting with cutting fabric components needed from bolts on non-woven fabric, then decorating with your preferred method until your client’s custom bags are complete. From start to finish, Evans is able to create your custom project in as little as five days. And don’t worry – each bag is visually inspected prior to packing for superior quality control.
