CowCow

Review: I spent longer than I'd like to admit searching for a site or vendor that could offer an attractive price per unit to print my art on zipper/pencil pouches so I could get some made for my eventual Etsy shop. When I finally came across www.cowcow.com, I was initially unsure of the prices, but with their incredibly frequent sales (that often include free shipping), it sealed the deal for me to take the plunge and put an order in.

The print quality is pretty good, I ended up getting a few medium cosmetic pouches (not canvas ones) for some test prints, and I was overall impressed. My test pouches have lineless art on them, so I'm not sure if that is a factor in the slightly fuzzy looking edges, but it's not enough to cause much concern.

Something to note is that these pouches are made of a polyester material, and they are slightly shiny and smooth/slick feeling. It creates a bit of a sheen, which may or may not be what you're looking for, but it happened to make my designs feel a bit more whimsical.

I had to take a star off of both the print and product quality, because I noticed on one of my pouches, it seems to have been sewn in such a way that there's a wrinkle I can't smooth out in one of the corners, and a small spot on my design that isn't present in the original file. Not the end of the world for a test print, but I'm hoping it's not going to be a recurring thing in future orders.

With the medium pouches, they feel very roomy inside without being too large. I think it would fit comfortably inside of a school bag, purse, etc. and you can fit most standard length drawing/writing instruments inside (can't speak for cosmetics). I'm really excited to print more of my art on these pouches, both to sell in my Etsy shop, and for custom, one of a kind gifts for friends and family.

Pros: Really good prices per unit if you wait for a sale (sign up for their emails, I don't see most of them advertised on the site), print quality is accurate, the colors are rich.

Cons: Slight defects in one of my pouches, polyester material is very shiny and slick, which may not be what you're looking for.

Bottom Line: I'd recommend getting these during a sale as a fun way to carry around a piece of your art with you wherever you go, while keeping your drawing supplies or cosmetics or whatever you need on hand.

Bottom Line: Wonderful gift for your self and/or friends and family.
