Placing Orders

We offer price breaks if you order more than 1 bag. The unit price drops significantly when ordering multiple units, so be sure to check the pricing table on the product page. Please note that price breaks only apply to the same product/design.
Yes! For orders over 200 please also visit our parent company BIDBI, which specialises in screen printing and large orders.
To track your order visit the order tracking page and fill in your order ID and the email address you used during checkout. Here you will be able to see the status of your order, and if dispatched using a courier, you will be able to track the location of your order. Please note customers using the Free UK Shipping option do not have these tracking options.
If you need to cancel an order please get in touch as soon as you can, either via the contact form, live chat or by emailing hello@doodle-bag.com directly. Once an order has been printed we are unable to cancel so please let us know within 3 hours of placing your order.
As our bags are untreated 100% natural cotton we do not recommend washing them. If you need to clean your bag, it is best to hand wash it in cool water or sponge down the affected area.
All orders are processed and printed almost immediately in order to meet our quick delivery time schedules. If you would like to make changes to an order please let us know as quickly as possible (preferably within 3 hours) as after this time we cannot guarantee changes can be made. We are unable to change orders for next-day delivery.
Yes, you can. Just add your first design to your basket, then create another. You can then check out all your products at once when you're finished. Remember that design variations are treated as separate products, and are therefore excluded from our bulk discounts.
We Have no MOQ you can order only 1 bag, and still get free delivery to the UK! This covers all items, whether printed or blank. We want everyone to be able to order as many or as few as they like.
Our core range of cotton bags is all Fairtrade-made, which means the labour used to create the bags has the certification, however, the cotton itself is not Fairtrade. If you would like bags made from Fairtrade Cotton, we also have a range that is not only Fairtrade Cotton but also organic cotton. This special range of bags is the most sustainable and environmentally tote bags available and are suitable for those who are extra conscious of their impact on the planet.
Yes, you can! Before placing your order, get in touch with us and include your registered charity number in your enquiry. We will then issue you with an exclusive discount voucher code to be used with your order. We love working with local and national organisations, and if you are running a campaign that involves tote bags, we would love to hear from you.
Yes, we work with companies both large and small here at Doodle Bag. We cater for anyone that wants tote bags!
Absolutely. Our entire range is also available to be bought blank. You can buy just 1 blank bag if you like; or hundreds if you need them for an event or for retail. If you're using the bags for a special project, we would love to hear from you and share it on our social media pages.

ORDERING PROCESS

Design Tool

If you need any help with your design or using the design tool please get in touch using our live chat and a member of the Doodle-bag team will be on hand straightaway to help.
Our design tool allows you to upload images from your device, or insert them from your Instagram or Facebook account. Just click Start Designing, choose your product, and then click Add Image.
Yes, just hit the "Manage Layers" tool, and click on the padlock on the item you would like to lock. Within this panel, you can also re-order layers, if you would like certain elements to appear above others.
Our design tool contains thousands of ready-to-go images. You can use as many as you like in your design. Some can even be re-coloured to your liking. Once in the design tool just select "Choose From Designs" and browse through our library of beautiful illustrations and shapes.
Absolutely, just hit "add text" and then type your message. You will then be able to change the font, re-size and re-colour. There are also options for pattern fills. Be sure to play around with the tool to get a sense of its full potential.

If you don't see a font you like, get in touch and we can add new fonts from the Google Font Library.
It depends on the particular elements used in the design. Images stored in the design tool have different licensing rights. All the images used are allowed to be merchandised (printed on bags), however, some do not allow digital distribution. If you would like to see if you can have a copy of your design, just get in touch and we can inspect your design for you.
Yes, you can upload any image from your smartphone, computer or tablet to our product designer. You can also log in directly to your Facebook or Instagram account and import pictures. You can add as many images as you like, and adjust their placement on the product. We accept jpg, png, pdf, and svg formats. Please note any white within the design or white background will not be printed on the final product.
We don't recommend this as companies will not like you using their branding for your own product. It is illegal and you are responsible for what you choose to put on the bag. Ask permission first before using someone else's work.
We can print full colour here at Doodle Bag, so there are no restrictions on the number of colours we can print. Note however that we do not have the ability to print white, so any white areas of the design (including backgrounds) will be omitted from your printed product
