Description
Ace Sandbags® – Heavy-Duty 3-Year Canvas Sandbags with Custom Printing Available
Ace Sandbags® are made from thick, marine-grade polyester canvas that holds its color and strength for three years in full sun. From construction barricades to event signage, they keep equipment secure and give your setup a clean, professional appearance.
The solution-dyed fabric, folded, double-stitched seams, and UV-resistant thread stand up to sun exposure and repeated handling, so you can load them up and put them back to work on the next job.
Put your brand on them. Add your company logo, event branding, department name, or agency seal to both sides for a flat $250 printing fee per order. Our graphics team will contact you within one business day to review your artwork and send a digital proof. Printing begins immediately after sign-off.
