Product Description
Our HERO Calico Dust Bags made completely from recycled cotton are perfect for online retailers looking to pack their products with reusable packaging. The HERO Calico bags are made from recycled fabrics and protect your products inside the HEROPACK. The bags are great for jewellery, fashion, apparel, swimwear, books and accessories. These drawstring bags are made from recycled, unbleached, natural calico fibres, and are machine washable (without printing).
These bags can be custom printed in full colour (logos or photos) with a minimum order quantity of just 25 bags. You can also order a single bag as a printed sample. Simply select "YES - ADD MY LOGO" and add your artwork. We'll send through a print proof and then print your full order. Printing times depend on the quantity ordered.

Our printing is best for logos, images and text. It is not for blocks of colour. If your artwork has solid blocks of colour, we will contact you to discuss any changes that may need to be made to make sure your bags look incredible.
As the bags are handmade, there will be very slight variances in the measurements, and the material colour may vary marginally from one shipment to the next.
- The bags are 100% cotton and made from recycled cotton
- The bags are 120gsm
- The calico bags come in 4 sizes:
- 80mm x 120mm,
- 150mm x 210mm,
- 200mm x 300mm and
- 300mm x 400mm.
- We do not recommend machine washing. To clean the bags, we recommend a cold hand wash to prevent shrinkage.
Please read the following before ordering custom printed bags:
- We can print in full colour (multiple colours in your artwork) but cannot print in white. There may be slight variations on the printing including sizing and colours. Any white backgrounds in your artwork will not print. If your actual logo/text artwork is submitted in white, it will be converted to black for printing.
- If you have any issues uploading your artwork, you can place your order as usual including custom printing, leave a note on your order, and email the artwork to us separately at hello@heropackaging.com.au.
- We cannot print on the whole bag. These are the print areas:
XS: 6cm x 8cm, SMALL: 13cm x 16cm, MEDIUM: 17cm x 24cm, LARGE: 26cm x 32cm
- If you need double sided printing, please email us for a quote. Please also note that the inks we use are not suitable for machine washing. Very gentle hand washing may be possible but should be tested first as colours may run depending on the print.
- The colours printed on these bags may not be as saturated as the images or logo you provide. For example, blacks may appear like dark grey when printed on the bags. This is due to the nature of the material of the recycled cotton and the eco-friendly inks. Please note also that images online may appear differently to what the bags will look like in person. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask our team!
