Gift Bags are custom-printed paper bags with handles, made for retail boutiques, event planners, and brands sending products home in a branded carry-out. Each bag is printed full-color and built to hold weight without tearing.
The sturdy handle and reinforced top let a customer carry a purchase comfortably from your counter, and the printed panels keep your logo visible on the street long after checkout. Boutiques use them for in-store purchases, while event teams fill them as welcome bags and conference swag kits.

Gift Bag Buying as Volume Increases
Most retailers need three sizes rather than one, so build the family together and share the artwork. Paper weight follows the heaviest item you sell, cord handles feel more considered than tape handles and cost a little more, and an eyelet at each handle hole prevents the tear that usually starts at the top corner.
| Bags | Counter stock guidance |
|---|---|
| 50 | One size trialed before the whole family is tooled. |
| 500 | A single shop through one gifting season. |
| 1,000 | Small, medium, and large sizes ordered together. |
| 5,000 | Handle assembly labor stops leading the piece cost. |
| 10,000+ | Multi store buying from about $0.44 per unit at volume. |
Timing follows the lane taken: bags built on domestic lines are often ready near about 7 business days, specialty imported cord and finishing may need about 12 weeks, both put forward as planning ranges, not guarantees. A digital proof of every size in the family is issued together. Send the three flat sizes, gusset, paper weight, cord style, and yearly count.
