Product Overview
The Westford Mill WM165 represents a strategic choice for businesses looking to integrate sustainability into their operations without compromising on capacity or cost. This maxi bag is crafted from 'In-conversion' cotton, which directly supports farmers who are in the process of transitioning their land toward organic certification. It offers the professional appearance and tactile quality of organic cotton while remaining accessible for high-volume orders.
Key Features
- A substantial 18-litre capacity ensures this bag is capable of holding bulky items, making it far more practical than standard promotional totes.
- The versatile handle length allows the bag to be carried comfortably by hand or slung over the shoulder, adapting to the user's preference and load weight.
- Equipped with a tear-away label, this product is designed for seamless rebranding, allowing your business to present it as a fully bespoke item.
- The expansive surface area is specifically engineered to accommodate large-scale branding, providing maximum visibility for your logo or message.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a lightweight cotton weave, the WM165 balances portability with surprising resilience. The fabric is smooth and consistent, which is essential for achieving a high-quality finish during the decoration process. Despite its lightweight feel, the dimensions of 35 x 39 x 13.5cm allow for a wide range of uses, from retail packaging to carrying event materials. The use of in-conversion cotton highlights a commitment to environmentally conscious sourcing, meeting Amfori BSCI and REACH standards.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This maxi bag is an ideal candidate for both print and embroidery, though the choice depends on your specific branding goals. For large, high-impact graphics, screen printing or heat transfer techniques are recommended. The flat, fine-weave surface of the cotton ensures that ink adheres evenly, resulting in crisp lines and vibrant colours that stand out in a retail environment.
For a more premium, professional finish, embroidery is an excellent option. It adds a physical dimension to your logo and implies a sense of permanence and quality. Our Telford-based team, with expertise dating back to 1976, ensures that every stitch or print is applied with precision, maintaining the integrity of the fabric while delivering a superior aesthetic.
Use Cases
The WM165 is perfectly suited for retail environments, such as organic grocery stores, farmers' markets, and clothing boutiques. It also serves as a high-quality promotional item for corporate events or trade shows where attendees require a sturdy bag for collected literature and samples. Its unisex design and practical size make it a versatile tool for any brand.

Practical Advice
While this is a 'maxi' bag, it is still a lightweight cotton product. It is best used for items that require volume rather than extreme density. If you are using this for retail, it is an excellent alternative to single-use plastics. When planning your customisation, consider placing the logo centrally to ensure it remains visible even when the bag is full and the fabric contours change.
Caring for your product
To preserve the life of the cotton fibres and the quality of your custom branding, this bag should be sponge cleaned only. Machine washing can cause the natural cotton to shrink and may lead to the distortion of printed logos or the puckering of embroidery.
If the bag becomes soiled, use a damp cloth and mild detergent to spot clean the affected area. Avoid the use of bleach or harsh chemicals, as these will degrade the fabric strength and potentially bleach out the dye of the bag or the threads used in your custom logo.
