Our luxury bags are all made fully bespoke, meaning we're not always able to achieve sub-7-day turnarounds. Custom sizing, colouring, CMYK printing, handle choices and printing features mean additional complexity, and for these ultra-tight turnarounds, it's incredibly difficult to achieve something completely custom. With our rapid printed luxury bag service, we're able to complete unlimited colour print designs onto standardised kraft luxury bags that maintain the luxurious aesthetic and high-quality print. These bags can be designed, manufactured and delivered in under 3 days to meet tight deadlines.

Printed Tote Bags

The tote bag is an incredibly popular and versatile style of bag. Whilst generally considered simply a fabric bag with long or short handles, a tote bag is essentially a category of bag that can be simply defined by their external handles and open, simple design. With a wide range of materials to choose from, you may know you want a tote bag, but you may not know what option to go for. View our range of recommended tote bags below, and find the option that’s perfect for you.

Printed Drawstring Bags

Drawstring bags aren’t your typical carrier bag, but with the introduction of the JD & CEX bags over the past 20 years, they’re becoming an icon of the high street. The plastic drawstring bag provides a great, flexible bag option for retailers looking to shake things up; the non-woven drawstring bag is a perfect kit or merchandise bag and the cotton drawstring bag is the carrier bag option that comes the closest to being considered high-quality branded merchandise. Why ask your customers to carry their bag, when they can wear it?

Printed Carrier Bags for Trade - Bulk & Bespoke Orders

We regularly supply orders of over 20,000 carrier bags to some of the largest brands in the UK. With our accommodations for bespoke requirements, fast delivery times and dedicated account managers, we are the leading and trusted supplier in the UK for Trade carrier bags.

Choosing your carrier bag size can feel like a complicated process. With so many bag types, handle options, gusset options and other factors to consider, paired with implications surrounding quantities on bag sizing and print options, it's often an understandably confusing task. We've worked with thousands of brands to help them create their perfect bag, whether it's a high-quantity standard-size polythene bag, a colourful printed and gusseted fabric bag, or a fully bespoke luxury bag.

Our size guides for carrier bags walk you through how to measure your bag, what the standard sizes are, and give you visuals to help you understand what your bag is going to look like. Each size of bag has a different use case, and each bag type has a range of standard sizes to choose from (excluding luxury bags, where each bag is bespoke). Some bag sizes enable the opportunity to order in lower quantities with single colour prints, enabling you to get a custom bag at a quantity that is reasonable for you. 

If you're looking for something completely bespoke, and a size that's completely out of our guides' specifications, get in touch. There's no other supplier in the UK able to source and create completely bespoke bags like we can.

Choosing the right handle for your Luxury Gift Bag

With complete control over the customisation options for a luxury bag, it can feel overwhelming when it comes to deciding on the details, particularly handles. With multiple handle types, and each type having multiple material options, it's often difficult to even know where to start. Our comprehensive guide below will walk you through the process, and help you come to a conclusion on which handle to choose for your printed luxury bag.

Benefits of Stone Paper

Water & Grease Proof - Our bags protect the contents from the elements and are ideally suited for food items.

No Chemicals - Stone paper bags are naturally white, so no bleaching and chemicals are required in the manufacturing process.

Recyclable - Products made from stone paper can be recycled using traditional methods and are therefore easy to dispose of.

Reusable - With the added strength and durability of the material, the bags can be used multiple times.

Tear & Stain Resistant - The bags are resistant to staining and tear resistant so they can be stored and carried safely with peace of mind. 

The environmental benefits:

20 Trees - From deforestation.

More Energy - Than the average home in the UK uses per year!

900kg of CO2 - Emissions prevented.

60,000 Litres of Water - Saved through the innovative manufacturing process.

150kg of solid waste - Avoided due to the recycling of limestone from existing quarries.

100% Recyclable - Stone bags are photo degradable.

Fabric Bag Sizes

Sizing a fabric bag is a little different to standard carrier bags, such as paper & plastic. Not only do fabric bags come in a range of different materials, but they also come in a range of configurations and bag types. A tote bag for instance is significantly different to a drawstring bag. Jute bags are, for instance, often found in different size configurations to a cotton bag. This makes sizing a little more complicated.

This size guide will walk you through the bag sizes that we can offer, but if you're looking for something bespoke, or if you've seen something elsewhere that you need us to source, we may be able to help you. Give us a call or drop us an email with what you're looking for, and we'll do everything we can to build you the dream bag.

Luxury Bag Sizes

When it comes to a luxury gift bag, size is the most important factor. There are no limitations on sizing for a luxury bag, meaning we have no standard sizes that you have to choose from, and you have full creative freedom on sizing. You need a gift bag that's perfectly sized to showcase your branding and design, and that ideally fits the intended contents within the bag. The size of your luxury bag is also the main factor that affects the cost of your bag, as these bags are costed based on the amount of material required to make the bag. 

Most brands know exactly what they're looking for, but sometimes with such freedom over sizing, it's difficult to know where to start. Our luxury bag size guide below provides a comprehensive guide on measuring and sizing your perfect bag, along with a range of examples of previous projects we've worked on and their dimensions.

How to Measure a Luxury Bottle Bag

A luxury bottle bag has zero limitations on sizing and customisability. If you've got a bottle that's an unusual shape or size, we can design a bag so your bottle fits perfectly.

Our sizes below are simply a guide of the most common luxury bottle bag sizes, to give you an idea of the measurements you may need. If you've got a standard wine bottle or liquor bottle drink, these may match up nicely. However, we recommend measuring your drinks product, and then requesting a size of bottle bag that matches your drink specifically, to avoid issues with the drink not fitting snugly within the final bag. Need printed tissue paper or any other internal packaging to help support your drink? We can help with that, so let us know when it comes to requesting a quote.

Printed Bags for Food & Catering Businesses

Bags for food & catering need to cover a range of use cases. From supermarkets to bakeries, from farm shops to high-end confectioners, each business has specific and important needs. For most, a range of bag options is required, and consistency in printing between counter bags and shopping bags is crucial to provide a seamless look and feel for customers.

We’ve worked with a range of food and confectionery businesses across a range of sectors and have helped them create the perfect carrier bags for their business.

Ultra Fast Delivery

We can deliver these style of bags to meet any deadline - if you have a specific requirement for ultra-fast print and delivery, let us know what you need and we'll do everything we can to get your bags to you when you need them.

Potato Starch Bags

Potato starch bags made from natural and renewable materials meaning they’re not only recycled, but they’re completely sustainable. They’re also eco-friendly to dispose of – this prevents bags being taken to landfill where they’ll take years to decompose and replaces them with bags that will disintegrate down to water, CO2 and biomass in under 3 months.

Full-service Packaging Experts

We've been operating in the UK packaging industry for over 30 years and have extensive experience in all forms of product packaging, from cups and trays to film and bags. Looking for a supplier that can take care of all your packaging, from your high-quality product box and luxury bag, to your disposable cups and napkins? We can provide both custom and non-custom items, and are able to source items that other suppliers just can't. Let us know your requirements, and we'll take care of the rest.

When deciding on your ideal size, you must list your sizes in the correct order. For paper and luxury bags, this means listing the size with the gusset as the middle value - Width, Bottom Gusset, Length.

In this example, the size should be presented in the following way:

Width x Bottom Gusset x Length

So 320(W)x130(G)x420(L)mm.

When selecting your bag size, you must list your sizes in the correct order. This should follow the XYZ axis order, or Width, Height, Bag Gusset.

In this example, the size should be presented in the following way:

Width x Length x Bottom Gusset

So 200x250x75mm.

Kraft Paper Gift Bags

A kraft paper gift bag is our most luxury eco-friendly carrier bag. With options for paper rope or ribbon handles, these bags can be made fully recyclable, and look glorious with your custom print and bespoke size requirement.

Paper bags cause significant issues in their production. Not only does their production cause deforestation, thus the removal of trees which remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, but they also take significant amounts of water to produce. Additionally, their production takes large amounts of energy and is heavily polluting.

With regards to utility, paper bags are cheap, printable and storable. There are some drawbacks with regard to robustness, such as proneness to tears and liquids, however for most uses, these bags are fine.

Paper is arguably one of the best bags with regards to disposal, as it can be recycled at home, and the material can biodegrade.
