A logo file alone is not a branding specification. Weierken offers logo applications, labels and packaging as part of custom bag development, but the sample still needs an exact position, size, material background and approved artwork version. A clear proof prevents the production team from having to interpret a presentation mock-up.
Give the logo one controlling reference
Provide vector artwork where available, plus a readable preview. Identify the final wording, proportions and color reference. Mark the panel and measurement origin on a bag drawing: ‘centered’ is ambiguous if a pocket, seam or contrasting panel changes the visual center.
Keep the decoration method as a named decision. A printed logo, sewn label and other application should not be treated as interchangeable merely because they show the same mark. Request a physical application on the proposed bag material before appearance approval.
A filled artwork handover
Illustrative logo brief for a fictional brand; measurements explain the format and are not Weierken production limits.
| Field | Example instruction | What the proof must show |
|---|---|---|
| Artwork version | Brand-Mark-L02; use the supplied vector file | Correct lettering and proportions, without retyping the mark. |
| Location | Front panel, centered between side seams | Panel outline and the seam references used for centering. |
| Finished width | 80 mm; height follows original proportions | Dimension arrows on the proof; no independent stretching. |
| Vertical position | Top of logo 35 mm below the specified panel seam | Name the seam and show the measurement endpoints. |
| Color and background | White logo on the approved navy outer fabric | Physical decorated swatch reviewed with the actual fabric reference. |
| Release status | Placement proof approved; physical application pending | Separate the layout decision from final application approval. |
If a pocket is later enlarged, reopen placement review. A logo that cleared the original seam may no longer fit the revised panel.
Check branding on the bag, not only on a swatch
A flat decorated panel is useful for first review; the assembled bag shows whether folds, straps or seams obscure it. Weierken’s branding and construction options let you review the mark alongside the structure. Use front and angled sample photos, then inspect the physical application where its feel or appearance is important.
List separate artwork references for the bag logo, hangtag, care label and carton mark. The same brand name does not mean the files have the same dimensions or production method. Transfer the accepted identifiers into the packing instructions so an obsolete label does not return at the final stage.
When you send artwork to Weierken, attach the bag reference and indicate whether the material and decoration method are fixed or open for review. This gives the development team a practical application problem to solve.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can we place different retailer logos on the same bag design?
Provide an artwork and quantity matrix for each variant. Have the quotation identify any separate application setup or minimum requirements, and keep the proofs and packing identifiers distinct.
Who is responsible for permission to use supplied artwork?
The buyer should provide artwork it is authorized to use and resolve ownership or licensing before production. A factory application proof confirms technical details, not legal ownership.
