all durable even if they were sold for a cheaper price. If we are going to be talking about

VI. PRODUCTION PROCESS

The graphic depicts the Tote It up manufacturing process. The following are the

detailed procedures in the process of making our tote bags products:

1. First, we deliberate what raw materials should be used in the eco-friendly tote bag.

Here are the raw materials that we will be using (katsa, thread, and paint.)

2. Second, each of us is asked to present an idea or design that we’re going to put in

the bags. After that our team leader chose the best of 3.

3. Purchasing all the raw materials so that we can start sewing the tote bag.

4. Since we are students, we don’t have enough money to buy sewing machines. The

operational team will be giving all the raw materials to the tailor.

5. The tailor is choosing the best material that are suited to achieve the high quality of

tote bag

6. Starting sewing the fabric canvas

7. Wrapping the finished product including brown paper bag and freebies

8. Once you’ve completed all the entire process. You may send it to the delivery man.

 VII. PACKAGING

Customized Stamp and Stamp Pad

This stamp is a regular sized stamp that can be brought in the market, but as for this

business, the team thought of making it customized. Having the text "Tote It Up!" In that, not

only will there be less usage of inks from the printer but we can save money too.

Customized Stickers

To give our product a clean and uniform look while looking aesthetically pleasing,

our company decided to use customized stickers that were designed by everyone in the team

with the purpose of sealing the sleeve wrapped around the tote bag before being placed in the

packaging bag.. It helps our team’s creativity and efforts by paying attention to even the

smallest details and gives the customers a good impression together with the quality of our

bags.

Tote Sleeves

These tote sleeves are designed and styled to hold the eco bags intact. Printed on the

papers are the name of our business, where can we be found, how to contact us; who and

what time the team is available. This paper is an easy access material for the customers not to

spend too much unboxing.

Brown Paper Bag (Manila Paper)

 These paper bags are reusable and recyclable. It will lessen the use of plastic

bags, and it's more aesthetic than the usual plastic bag that's why we chose it.

the product delivered immediately and lives 25 kilometers or less from two of our branches.
