At its core, the Iona Backpack is made from recycled cotton canvas, offering a durable, breathable texture with a natural, understated look.

Technical Specification for Iona Recycled Cotton Canvas

Heat transfer printing is a method where your design is first printed onto a special transfer paper and then applied to the product using heat and pressure. This process allows for vibrant, full-colour results and is ideal for detailed images, gradients, and complex artwork. It’s commonly used for textiles, tote bags, and promotional items where high-resolution visuals are a priority. 

• Print Method: Heat Transfer  

• Print Area: 177.8 mm W x 152.4 mm H 

• Colours: Full Colour (CMYK)  

• Resolution: 300dpi  

• Graphics: Raster Images & Vector  

• File Format: PDF   

Top Tips:  

• Use high-resolution images (minimum 300dpi), embedded in the PDF.  

• Use a minimum font size of 8pt to ensure legibility when printed.  

• Outline all fonts, or ensure they are embedded in the PDF.  

• Avoid overlapping paths—combine elements into one continuous graphic.  

• Outline all strokes by converting them to shapes.  

• Ink may spread slightly during transfer—avoid designs with closely spaced elements that could blur or merge.  

• White ink can be printed, so please ensure that any areas not intended for print are set to transparent rather than white.
