Custom printed bags for boutiques, bakeries, wineries, events and trade shows, in kraft paper, coated paper or non-woven fabric. You pick the handle, size and print. We set up the artwork free, and your logo walks out the door with every customer.
Your time is very important to us so we have kept it short.
A shopping bag carries your name down the street for free. That’s the advertising side of custom printed shopping bags, and then there’s the boring practical side, which honestly matters just as much: getting a purchase home without the handles ripping off halfway to the car.
Boutiques order them, bookstores, bakeries, wineries, conference organizers, anyone with a pile of swag at a trade show. First-timers usually show up with “a nice bag with our logo on it”. Fair enough. The real question, though, is what the bag’s going to carry.
Kraft paper is the classic retail bag, and it prints well in one or two colors (most kraft is recyclable too). Twisted paper handles are good for light stuff, clothes or greeting cards, flat paper handles cost less and do fine for takeaway food, and if you want full color and lamination for a polished boutique look, we’d move you to coated white paper.
Non-woven is the reusable one. Bonded polypropylene fabric, folds up small, and people keep using it for groceries for months, so if you want the bag to keep coming back out of someone’s car, that’s the pick. Thickness is measured in GSM, and our explanation of GSM for non-woven bags helps with that choice.
What’s the heaviest thing going in it? Start there.
A wine shop needs a bottom gusset and a reinforced base or two bottles punch straight through before the parking lot, whereas a clothing store mostly just needs width, and a bakery wants a flat base so the cake boxes sit level and the frosting doesn’t slide into one corner.
Tell us the product and we’ll suggest a size. The reusable side is covered in more detail on our non woven shopping bags page.
People see bags from across the street. So bold and simple beats fine detail, and a big logo on one side with the web address on the gusset works pretty much every time, and on kraft we’d stick to darker colors, because pale pastels on brown paper go kind of muddy.
Color matching comes up a lot. Kraft is brown, right, so it tints every ink you put on it, and your bright brand blue will come out a shade darker than on screen. Need an exact match? Go white paper, it gets much closer, and the digital proof lets you judge before anything prints.
Seasonal runs are worth a thought. Plenty of shops print a holiday version, like our Christmas paper bags, alongside their everyday stock. Our team lays out the art free, checks the file and sends that digital proof before printing, and every style is in the custom printed bags category.
Non-woven with long handles, we’d say. They take brochures and samples, go over a shoulder, and people hang onto them after.
Yes, front and back is common. The side gussets can take a smaller logo or your social handle.
Not a lot, often around 50 bags depending on the style, and the price per bag falls as you order more. Tell us the size and material and we’ll quote it.
Brands ordering these often look at custom printed plastic bags, custom snap lock boxes and custom auto lock bottom boxes as well. You can see the full range in custom printed bags, and our guide to mylar bag types and sizes helps with sizing.
