When it comes to fabric colours, consider that over 50% of sleeperbags /dust bags sold with fashion goods are white, natural white or black. All other colours combined make up less than 50 % of orders. If you have a good reason to use particular material colours (such as a strong colour-based brand identity) then use specific colours. Otherwise consider the traditional black, white, cream, camel, navy blue and other classic colours which are proven sellers.

Materials in classic colours are also more easily found in stock, therefore the leadtime for your order will be faster.

To order custom material colours we ask you to provide a Pantone colour code or a physical colour sample. Minimum order for custom colours is 1,000 meters of material (roughly 3-4,000 medium sized dustbags / sleeper bags).  The exception is Panamino canvas, which can be dyed to your Pantone  colour specifications with a minimum of just 300 linear meters of fabric.

A wide selection of colours is readily available for satins and microfiber. For cotton flannel, cotton twill, cotton drill, the usually in stock selection is more limited and reflects the colours typically used by the top brand names.  Please see colour chart images in each product description.

Your logo can be printed in any Pantone colour, plus gold and silver. See “Logos” section below for details.

Your logo will be typically printed on one side of the dust bag / sleeperbag by silk screen printing. In most cases the logo is printed in a single solid colour but 2, 3, 4 colours are also possible.

The print is however in solid colours, line art. That is, shades and gradients cannot be printed.

Any Pantone colour plus gold or silver can be used for printing your logo on the dustbags / sleeper bags. Gold foil and silver foil print also available.

You can upload your logo in our estimate form. Please make sure that the logo is in a graphics format such as EPS, AI, PSD, JPG, PDF and of a high enough resolution to print clearly filling an A4 sheet of paper when it is printed on a regular office printer.

For your success, we recommend to print the logo large, centered and in a contrasting colour to the material, so it can be read very well.

Your logo can also be embroidered. The additional cost of embroidery can be considerable, however. We recommend embroidery for truly luxurious packaging, high value content. The cost of embroidery varies upon size and number of colours to be used in the embroidery.

Note: by placing an order you confirm to be the legal owner or licensee of the logo that you want to be printed.

All our dustbags / sleeperbags are custom made to order. We can manufacture them in any size. The size table to the right is just a useful guide. We do not have preset sizes. If your products size range is small, we recommend to use a “one-size-fits-all” approach, that way you can keep things simpler and limit costs. Whereas if your products range dramatically in size you will have to make your dustbags /sleeper bags in more than one size. We see however that in most cases a brand can get away with 3 sizes.

Also try to determine a logo size that can be printed on all dustbags sizes. In fact, to print your logo larger or smaller, additional silk screens will have to be made for each printe size, which have a one-time cost of appx Euro 175 each.

For your convenience, in our estimate form we offer over 20 recommended sizes which are proven over the years to work best for certain fashion products. You can also specify your custom size, there is no additional cost.

If you are not sure about size, before placing the order, by all means test with a mockup dustbag to make sure that your product will fit in the size that you will order!  You can easily make a mockup dustbag yourself with any available fabric, scissors and an office stapler. A rough formula for calculating the required size of dustbags / sleeper bag is the following: given that a, b and c are respectively the lenght, height and depth of your product (say a handbag for example) then the dustbag width required will be = a+b; while the dustbag height will be = b+c+5cm. But again, do test with a mockup before placing your order!

About measurements, please note that because of the stretch of different fabric materials and because our products are hand stitched, our products have a dimensional tolerance of +/- 5 millimeters. Please take this into account if you have strict dimensional constraints.

The standard drawstring is a braided nylon cord. “Mouse-tail” cord is also available which has a smooth round section and a silky touch.  Both are available in a wide range of colours to match either fabric colour or logo colour. Waxed cord is thicker, stiffer, for a more casual look.  Typically available in natural white, black, brown. Your dust bags can be made also with ribbon drawstrings. Gros grain ribbon is a very popular ribbon which has a typical vertical bar pattern.  Smooth ribbons can be used too and can be custom printed with your logo with a minimum of 1,000 meters. Plese see images below for example of each cord and ribbon type.

Sleeperbags.com can manufacture your dust bag / sleeper bag completely according to your custom specifications. This includes custom design, custom materials, custom colours, custom hardware. Note that because of the constraints posed by the minimum orders required by our suppliers for custom materials and components, completely customized dustbags are typically made when projected quantities are in the order of 2,000 pieces or more. Please contact us with details about your particular project and we will get back to you with preliminary feedback and cost estimates.
