There are different kinds of fabrics available for promotional bags, and you should compare them; they have different features, printing options, and prices.

Screen Printing
Using screen printing on cotton promotional bags is a surefire way to ensure your brand stands out. They are the cheapest available method; however, choosing the right materials and the proper technique are essential for a successful screen printing job. Screen printing gives much better visibility and durability than other printing methods; they can be used for darker fabrics as well; the limitation is that when you are ordering lesser amount of quantity, screen printing can be expensive because it involves the setup charges for the screen.
Digital printing
Digital printing produces clean, high-quality prints. It also reduces the need for sampling and delivery time compared to screen printing; these prints are durable and last longer. But however compared to screen printing, these are expensive; for lesser quantities and darker fabrics, digital printing can be a good option or, in often cases, the only option; they can print images and complex designs, which are difficult on screen printing.
Heat transfer printing
Whether you want to add a logo to your cotton promotional bags or personalize your canvas tote bags with your photos, you can do it with the help of heat transfer printing. The process involves printing your artwork onto special paper and then using a heat press to transfer the design onto the fabric. Heat transfer printing is expensive compared to screen printing; Heat transfer printing is a newer method of decoration that offers a variety of advantages. These include the ability to print designs with complex details. They also allow you to reproduce color gradients and shadows accurately. You can also use heat transfers to create 3D effects. But on a natural or white fabric, in darker fabric, the printing requires special papers, which will increase the cost of the project, and the results are not so great compared to other printing methods.
