HOW TO CUSTOMIZE A PAIR OF SHOES
Let's start here! You'll choose one of the three options above: Hi-tops, Low-tops, or Slip-ons. Then, you'll choose which colour you'd like to have printed. After choosing your colour, you'll select a size (size chart here) and start customizing your pair with our customizer tool!
HOW TO USE THE CUSTOMIZER TOOL
We recently added a DIY Customizer to our process! Now, you can design your very own custom-printed Hi-tops, Low-tops, and Slip-ons. You'll use your own high-resolution images and can add text, rearrange the images, and design your dream pair of shoes! Need help? email graphics@bagginsshoes.com and we can offer help with more complicated design visions. Our designers can remove backgrounds, create repeating patterns, change colours in some images, and offer advice if you're not sure which images will work for printing.
LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR CUSTOM PRINTSHOP
We use a patented process to custom print on shoes that includes modified Direct-to-Garment printers that use a full-spectrum CMYK + White colour process inking system, allowing us to print vibrant images and graphics on both black and white canvas! Direct-to-Garment printing holds up better than traditional screen printing techniques, it will not crack or peel or bleed over time and is water-resistant. We love to tell our customers that the print will last as long as the shoes themselves! Not feeling creative? We offer a huge range of pre-designed Baggins Originals, including many amazing artist collaborations!
WHICH SHOES CAN I PRINT ON?
We can print on canvas Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Hi-tops and Low-tops, or Vans Classic Slip-ons. You can choose from many colours but black or white canvas shoes work best for printing.
WHAT IMAGES CAN I USE?
Pretty much anything you want! We require high-res images for maximum print quality. We always recommend using a minimum of 600x600 pixels, or larger. You can submit JPG, PNG, EPS or PDF images. Not sure if an image works? Email us and ask, we can help!
WHAT CAN THE GRAPHIC DESIGNERS DO?
We can use your images to make a repeating pattern, remove backgrounds, isolate a subject, add text, add colour, make images black and white, and help you choose a layout! Not sure how you'd like the design to look? We can help! We don't do original artwork though, so please have your images ready.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
For a single pair, our turn-around time is usually between 7-14 business days + shipping time. We'll need a little more time at Christmas or for bulk orders (10+ pairs). If you're curious, email us for a more accurate quote. Need your order in a rush? Just ask, we can usually accomodate most reasonable requests.
HOW DO YOU PRINT ON SHOES?
We use a patented process using a modified full-spectrum CMYK+White direct-to-garment printer. This machine prints digital images with extra-durable garment ink directly onto the canvas! At our Printshop in Victoria B.C., we make each print-file specifically to your order, then print and hand-clean each shoe. A single pair can take up to 2 hours from start to finish!
DO YOU HAVE MINIMUMS?
Nope! You can print a single pair, a single t-shirt, a single tote bag... the list goes on. You can also print hundreds of the same design - we're set up for anything!
