Belly Bands

Belly bands are printed paper wraps that slide around a folded textile product, holding it in a neat presentation without the need for a plastic bag. They are especially popular for bandanas, scarves, baby swaddles, tea towels, and folded t-shirts.

Standard Specifications

• Standard dimensions: 10″ × 2″ (unrolled)
• Custom widths and lengths available on request
• Printed on uncoated or coated card stock depending on your finish preference

File Requirements

• Accepted formats: vector PDF, AI, or EPS
• Canva templates available upon request — contact your account manager
• Color mode: CMYK or Pantone Matching System (PMS)
• Include 3 mm bleed on all edges

Design Guidelines

• Keep key content and logos within the safe zone — 5 mm from all edges after bleed
• Avoid placing critical design elements across the fold line where the band wraps
• Do not add tape or adhesive areas in your design unless specifically agreed during the order

Co-Branding

Belly bands can carry co-branding with the Work+Shelter logo alongside your brand. We offer full flexibility on logo placement and can recolor the Work+Shelter mark to suit your brand palette. Co-branding reinforces the ethical sourcing story directly at the point of unboxing.
