Velour is a plush fabric that can be woven or knitted. It is used frequently as dancewear as it's stretch allows for great range of movement. It is a very warm fabric, which keeps heat in well. It is similar to velvet in texture, with a soft pile and rich appearance. It is often used for items such as the big red stage curtains you get at theatres, as well as for clothing and upholstery. Velour is a very versatile fabric. The original velour was a thick woven fabric made from wool. It had a nap on the face side which was soft and dense and was traditionally used for overcoats. The name, originally from the Latin word, 'villosus', actually means hairy, however, it is also the French term for velvet.
Using the online design tool, you can upload your photos and images, and even add text to your custom printed velour. We bond your design to the fabric, using eco-friendly inks to make your customised velour. You can select your own bespoke sizes for your customised velour, and you can even use our online tool to choose how you would like the edging of your custom printed velour.
You can either have the print on velour fabric sent to you straight as it comes from the printer. This will have a border around the edge of your print. If you would rather not have the border, you can opt to have your customised velour cut on the line. One of our experts will cut around the edge of your print, removing any excess fabric.
If you'd prefer you can choose to have your custom printed velour hemmed. You can select a black or white thread, and the fabric will be stitched with an overlocked hem by one of our expert seamstresses before it is sent out to you. Remember if you intend to use this option to allow extra fabric for hemming in your custom measurements.
All of our fabrics are printed at 200dpi. This works for us as it combines a great quality as well as a good file weight. In order to avoid resizing and interpolation, we recommend that you scale your image to 100% at 200dpi. Our design interface works with a traffic light system that acts as a quality marker for your designs. This will show you whether the resolution is too low for printing. When you re-upload your design with

There is no length limit for most of our fabrics. Our preview design window is set up to display a maximum of 10m to help you visualise the print, but that doesn't mean this is the print limit. If you'd like to order more, you can increase the quantity (x2 for 20m or x4 for 40m for example) and order as much as you'd like. Larger volumes will receive an automatic discount too. While the fabric length is nothing to worry about, each individual fabric will have a maximum width side: these can be found on the fabric's page information or in the design interface.

Yes, our organic fabrics don't have an additional coating like non-organic fabrics have, which means it absorbs the inks deep into its fibre and reducing the colour strength slightly (this can be approximately -40%). If you would like a bolder, more vibrant colour for your fabric, we would suggest using a non-organic fabric.
Unfortunately not; all of our fabrics have been tested meticulously to ensure we know exactly how to get the best results, and our facilities cater perfectly to them. If you are set on a fabric we don't offer, we can offer custom printed sublimation paper to order which will allow you to heat press your designs onto your own fabrics.
If your design is simple and less intricate, a JPEG will be absolutely fine. However, if you have created a design with multi-coloured detailing, we would recommend saving your design in a TIFF format.
Similar to other fabric printing processes, shrinkage can occur. The amount of shrinkage will depend on the fabric, but as a general rule of thumb, please allow for 2-8% shrinkage when working out your measurements. Shrinkage is not an exact science, and the amount of shrinkage will vary from print run to print run. We'd always suggest ordering a little more than you need for your project.
Many of the fabrics we offer are semi-transparent, so printing on both sides of the fabric is not a service we offer.
At the moment, all of our fabric labels are printed on satin fabric. For now, we believe this is the best choice, but will potentially introduce other options in the future. All labels are cut to the same label format. If you would like to choose a different fabric and format for your labels, you could always order a sheet of the fabric of your choice to create labels yourself.

Our full cut & sew service at Bags of Love can be used to your full advantage. We even offer hemming for your fabrics at a small additional cost. Our hems are created with a one or two cold hem that typically uses around 5 to 20mm of fabric (depending on the thickness of your chosen material). Please bear this in mind when you are ordering your printed fabric with hems: If you would like your finished piece to be 100cm x 100cm, change your dimensions to 101.5cm instead to allow space for your hems (you will also need to include additional for potential shrinkage). The thicker the fabric, the bigger the hem will be. Your printed fabric will be hemmed with either Black or White thread. If you are ordering a lightly woven material or
