Custom Printed Event Bags
Printed event bags need to maximise the visibility of your brand and messaging, both during and after the engagement. When it comes to custom bags for events, it's incredibly important that your bag's print not only looks good, but creates a lasting impression on your attendees. These bags need to be more than just a bag with your logo, they need to be tailored to your brand and messaging.
Event bags pair well with branded merchandise. Our range of custom printed products ensure that, alongside your printed bag, your event attendees recieve truly useful printed products that can be reused time and again by ideal customers, making your brand the first thing on their mind when they're ready to buy.
Printed event bags need to be highly customisable - and the level of customisation for your bag is highly dependent on the bag you choose. Our range of bags provide unparalleled options for you to create the perfect bag for your brand.
Paper and plastic bags make perfect event bags. Choose the handle type, colour, print and size of the bag, and for orders over 10,000 bags, we can help create something truly bespoke and unique to your brand.
Looking to create a custom tote bag for your event? There are lots of options available and for some material choices there are options for thicker fabric, longer handles, coloured handles and more. We can run through exactly what's available, so let us know your requirements.
For high-end, luxurious occasions, we recommend selecting an option from our luxury bag range. These premium bags are completely customisable: laminated or unlaminated, cotton or ribbon handles, bespoke or simple prints, even completely unique sizes and shapes - you have full control over the outcome of the bag.
Quantities will vary by bag type, and within each bag type, there are different minimum order quantities depending on the size of bag you require. Feel free to browse each bag type individually for more information about minimum order quantities.
For large quantity orders, there is no limit to our capacity to accommodate complex requirements, so please get in touch as soon as possible.
Delivery may vary between different bag options, and the quantities ordered. We always endeavour to deliver within your required timeframe, or suggest an alternative solution that may enable us to meet your deadlines. Give us a call to discuss your specific requirements, and one of our expert team members can guide you through the process.
It's important that brands consider how their bags will be used to make them more economical. You should always encourage your attendees to reuse your bags, as this helps get the most milage and reclaim the environmental cost.
The most eco-friendly bags are printed potato starch carrier bags as they are biodegradable. However, whatever bag you choose should be evaluated based on their impact of their production, their usefulness & function, and their disposal.
We work with numerous retail brands to suggest sustainable options, and ensure all paper bags we produce are made from FSC certified paper.
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 bag, matt laminated gift bag or kraft gift bag is the most popular material. For exhibitors and conferences, luxury bags, paper bags, polythene 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.
