Belly Bands

Printed paper wraps for folded textiles — a sustainable, brandable alternative to poly bags for bandanas, scarves, and swaddles.

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

Wrap Direction

Because the band wraps around the product, make sure to account for where the overlap join will fall so it does not bisect a logo or key text element.

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.
