3) How do tariffs, fees, and taxes affect costs?

We make global ordering stress-free with DDP Shipping (Delivered Duties Paid). 🌍

  • ✔️ All import taxes, duties & tariffs prepaid
  • ✔️ No surprise customs bills or hidden charges
  • ✔️ No paperwork — your order arrives at your door, hassle-free

💸 Example: In some countries, a $100 order could face up to $135 in surprise fees. With DDP, you pay just 5–10% upfront, and we handle the rest.

4) Do you accept 50% deposits?

✅ Yes — available for all orders!

  • 50% deposit to begin production
  • 50% balance after photo proof, before shipping

This gives you peace of mind: you’ll see exactly what’s being sent before final payment.

5) What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?

Most products have no MOQ — because we believe great ideas shouldn’t be limited by big order requirements.

  • ✅ Many small goods have no MOQ at all
  • 🔢 Some products start as low as 1–25 units
  • 🧵 Apparel, packaging & stationery often allow low runs

💡 Tip: The bigger the order, the lower the cost per unit — and ordering multiple product types means you only pay shipping once.

6) Can I see samples before ordering?

Absolutely! 😄 You can order a sample of your design first.

🛠️ Upload your design and select “1 unit” (or more). Our team will prepare a custom sample quote before full production.

7) What if my order arrives damaged or has quality issues?

We stand behind our products. If your order arrives damaged or with quality concerns, email us at hi@yourstuffmade.com and we’ll provide a tailored solution.

        How to Create Your Own Custom Tote Bags: A Step-by-Step Guide 👜✨

        Tote bags are the ultimate blend of fashion and function. Whether used as stylish accessories, promotional materials, or eco-friendly alternatives to plastic bags, custom tote bags are incredibly versatile. They’re perfect for gifting, grocery runs, conventions, or adding a unique product to your shop. 🌍🛒

        In this blog, we’ll guide you through the steps of creating your very own custom tote bags while ensuring you're making an ethical choice by partnering with Yourstuffmade.com — a female artist-owned, B Corp certified company dedicated to ethical production, sustainable practices, and helping brands of all sizes grow.


        Step 1: Choose Your Material 🧵

        Material choice is crucial when it comes to tote bags. Not only does it affect the bag’s durability and look, but it also ties directly into the eco-friendliness of your product.

        1. Cotton 🌱

        Cotton tote bags are soft, breathable, and biodegradable. They’ve been used for centuries, and remain one of the best sustainable alternatives to single-use plastic.

        • Durability: Long-lasting and washable.
        • Versatility: Great for promotional items, gift bags, or retail shops.
        • Texture: Smooth surface perfect for detailed prints.

        2. Canvas 💪

        Canvas is a stronger, sturdier material compared to cotton. It has a rugged look and is built for heavy use.

        • Strength-to-weight ratio: Lightweight yet sturdy.
        • Durability: Perfect for books, groceries, or daily wear.
        • Customizability: Works well with embroidery, screen printing, or heat transfer.

        👉 Ethical tip: By choosing cotton or canvas, you’re reducing your carbon footprint. Partnering with Yourstuffmade.com ensures your tote bags are made in locally owned factories, with fair labor standards and eco-conscious practices.


        Step 2: Choose Your Print Option 🖨️

        At Yourstuffmade.com, you can select the printing method that fits your vision:

        • Single-sided printing: A clean, minimalist look.
        • Double-sided printing: Maximum visibility for your design.

        From bold promotional logos to artistic full prints, we’ll make your tote bags stand out.


        Step 3: Consider Additional Features 🛍️

        Make your tote bags even more functional and stylish with custom add-ons:

        • Zippers: Extra security for personal items.
        • Inside pockets: Great for phones, wallets, or keys.
        • Drawstrings: Adds flair and a secure closure.

        These features make tote bags more practical, encouraging customers to reuse them daily.


        Step 4: Decide on Popular Tote Bag Sizes 📏

        The size of your tote bag depends on its intended use:

        • Small (10" x 12"): Gift bags or personal use.
        • Medium (15" x 16"): Day-to-day versatility, books, or groceries.
        • Large (18" x 24"): Perfect for events, beach days, or big shopping trips.

        Need a special size? We also do fully custom dimensions to fit your brand’s needs.
