See more inspirationAs the UK’s #1 supplier of printed carrier bags, we’re able to accommodate for tight delivery deadlines that no other supplier is able to meet. We regularly work with brands that have been let down by their bag supplier, and can deliver lightning-fast turnarounds, often on the largest and most complex orders. If you need printed bags quickly, no matter your requirements, we’re here to help.
There is technically no minimum order for printed luxury bags, however anything less than 100 bags will cost the same as 100 bags, so we recommend ordering no fewer than that.
For quantities of 500 bags or less, we can typically print and deliver your bags within 3 weeks. For larger quantities, we may require more time to deliver your order. We always try to achieve the quickest turnaround possible, and if you need your bags by a specific deadline, we are the only UK supplier of luxury bags that can fulfil tight delivery deadlines. If you need your bags quickly, please give us a call or email as soon as possible so we can get to work quickly on meeting your deadline.
Printed luxury bags are made from high-quality materials which means their cost per unit is marginally more than most of our other bags. Despite this, these bags are completely bespoke and fully customisable which makes them great value for money. Because these bags are highly customisable it’s often assumed that there are a lot of variables that will alter the cost of the bag, however a lot of these are included in the base price of the bag. The cost will come down to the amount of material used – the larger your bag, the higher the cost. Despite this, we can offer quantity discounts, meaning the more bags you order, the lower the cost per unit will be.
You can customise your bag to any size, however if you need some guidance, we’ve put together a luxury bag sizing guide to help you get started.
Printed luxury bags are the most premium of our printed carrier bag range. These bags are perfect for businesses looking for a top-of-the-range printed bag, either for an occasion, event, or for high-end retail. These bags are made from top quality materials, which not only makes them classy but highly reusable. This has environmental benefits, but it also ensures that your brand is shown again and again with the best possible bag. The primary benefit of these bags is their customisability, as you have full control of how you want them to look and feel.
There are lots of choices to consider when building your luxury gift bag, and the finish of your bag is a bit one. A kraft luxury gift bag gives a rougher, more natural finish, a matt laminated gift bag has a smooth and non-reflective finish, and a gloss laminated gift bag has a shiny finish. Each has its own merit, and what you choose really depends on your branding, messaging and design, and how you want the bag to look. You may change your mind on the finish you want during the design process, and we can send you bag samples if necessary to ensure you’re happy with the finish you choose.
Lamination makes the bag more durable, water resistant and less likely to tear. Though kraft paper gift bags are incredibly durable and made from thicker paper, the lamination adds that final layer of strength that improves the bag’s look and feel, as well as its reusability.
Yes, addition of any of our optional printing features to your bag will incur additional cost. Please feel free to ask us for a cost breakdown with your quote.
Yes, however there is only a very small difference in cost between handle types. Please feel free to ask us for a cost breakdown with your quote.
There are no limitations to printing on a luxury bag, anything you can dream of, we can make happen. Tell us what you are looking for and we’ll go above and beyond to turn your dream bag into a reality.
Printed luxury bags are incredibly versatile but tend to be used for high-quality events and high-end purchases. A luxury bag can be used for marketing events, rebranding events, store openings and any other occasion where you want to make an impact with bespoke and beautifully designed bags. Further, luxury bags are the popular choice of high-end retailers to give that extra finishing touch to the shopping experience.
Just as the most fashionable celebrities only wear designer clothes, the most quality of brands will only be adorned on the most luxurious of bags. You’ve already put so much effort into your product & packaging, or into your event stand or exhibition, but your bag is very much part of the service experience. These experiences are what your customers recall when evaluating your brand, so the quality of your carrier bag plays an important part. A luxury gift bag is the highest quality, most customisable bag you can get, so it’s the best way to add a premium touch to your brand experience.
Kraft luxury bags are recyclable; however, they are not recyclable if customised with additional features that add non-recyclable materials to the bag. Any laminated gift bag is not recyclable as the lamination process adds a plastic film to the bag which means the bag cannot be recycled.
There are no limitations on customisation options for a printed luxury bag. Choose your finish (Matt, Glossy or Kraft), and create a bespoke bag that’s exactly how you want it. You have full control over the size, handle, colour, design and print. If you want, add extra features such as eyelets on the handle, hot foil finishes, three-dimensional embossing/debossing. Even print on the inside of the bag if you want. No two luxury bags are the same.
