Frequently asked questions

How do market vendors clean cotton bags between market days?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and air dry. Washing cold and skipping high dryer heat prevents shrinkage and keeps bags in service for years.

Is there a delivery charge to Rochester?

No. Shipping is free across the USA, so Rochester and the rest of New York are covered at no extra delivery cost, on both blank and custom-printed orders.

Are cotton bags compliant with New York plastic bag rules?

Reusable cotton bags are washable, durable fabric bags, which is exactly what New York's bag law steers businesses and shoppers toward. They are a compliant, reusable replacement for single-use plastic checkout bags in Rochester.

What is the minimum order for printed bags in Rochester?

Custom printed runs start at 100 pieces. Blank bags have no printing minimum and ship in bulk packs, so smaller Rochester businesses can start there and add printing later.
