Printed Event Bags

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best types of carrier bags for events?

Our above listed bags are what we recommend as great quality event bags, though it really depends on what your function is at the event, and what your requirements are. If you’re attending or hosting a classy, sophisticated or high-end event, we highly recommend luxury bags as their style and sophistication matches the quality of the event. If you’re looking for goodie bags for an exhibition, as well as our luxury bags, we also recommend either a plastic bag or plastic-free bag, a paper bag, or for something more special and long lasting, a fabric tote bag.

How do I choose the right size carrier bag for an event?

The size of your bag all depends on what items you want to put in it. First, measure the items to get a rough idea of the size the bag will need to be. Consider the length of the longest item to be the height your bag will need to be, and the width of that item to be how wide the bag will need to be, unless you’re planning on having multiple items. Reference our bag size guides to see a list of our standard bag sizes for all bag types and materials. If you’ve got a complex need, please feel free to get in touch with us as we can send samples to help you gauge the size of your bag, and our experts can also advise based on their experience of working with countless brands and their bespoke requirements.

What materials are commonly used for event carrier bags?

For high-end events, a glossy laminated gift bagmatt laminated gift bag or kraft gift bag is the most popular material. For exhibitors and conferences, luxury bags, paper bagspolythene bags and fabric tote bags are popular.

Are reusable carrier bags better than disposable ones for events?

We always recommend opting for reusable carrier bags for events. Attending or hosting events is all about leaving a lasting impression on attendees, and what better way to do so than to provide a reusable carrier bag, such as a fabric tote bag or a luxury goody bag? A disposable bag can be convenient, cost-effective, and easy to store, so is worth considering if you’re facing budget or time restraints with your bags.

How much do custom event carrier bags cost?

Each of our custom printed carrier bags have different costs, and these can also change depending on the prints and features such as handles and sizes. The quantity ordered will also affect costs because higher volumes will reduce the unit cost per bag. Please request a quote to see what your bags will cost and request a full cost breakdown if you need to know further details about your quote.

What are the most eco-friendly carrier bags for events?

Our range of plastic-free carrier bags are the best eco-friendly bag alternatives that we offer. Further, our fabric bag range are highly reusable and eco-friendly, and our jute bags are a great option for eco-friendliness as they’re also biodegradable. Our paper bags are also 100% recyclable so are also eco-friendly.

Can I order carrier bags in bulk for a large event?

Yes, and we encourage this too, as it allows us to get the cost per bag down to a cost-effective level. Also, orders over 10,000 bags mean we can be flexible on sizing and materials, so please let us know if you have any bespoke requirements.

What should I put in an event carrier bag?

This really depends on the event you’re throwing. For an internal, high-end event, merchandise and freebies are a great way to showcase your products. For exhibitions, event carrier bags usually contain freebies, brochures and flyers.

How do I design a branded carrier bag for an event?

This completely depends on what you’re looking for. With an out-going luxury bag, designs can be complex and even tactile. With our luxury bag range, you have full control of customisation, right down to the handle type and even printing on the inside of the bag. For some, a simple logo and/or QR code is the perfect design for them. If you’re having any trouble with design, our in-house team are specialists on turning ideas into beautiful event bags, so get in touch with us as soon as possible.
