What Custom Bags are and how they work
Custom Bags are printed paper or card carrier bags designed to protect products and promote your brand at the same time. They carry goods from store or event to home while acting as a walking advert.
Each bag is sized around your products, with gussets and handles that suit how customers actually carry them. They arrive flat for easy storage, then open in seconds at tills, events or packing benches.
You can keep Custom Bags simple for everyday use or build premium bags with extra depth, reinforcement and special finishes. There is plenty of room for your logo, brand story, care details and campaign messaging.
With custom sizing, you avoid wasted space and awkward fits. Products sit neatly inside, look tidy at handover and stay protected as customers travel.
Best uses, industries and product types
Custom Bags work well for fashion, footwear, cosmetics, gifts, homeware, food-to-go, events and e-commerce. Any brand that wants a smarter alternative to plain carriers can upgrade to printed bags.
Use them as retail shopping bags, launch event bags, subscription add-ons, PR drop packaging or gift bags. One main size can handle everyday sales, with a few larger or smaller sizes for special cases.
Retailers that already use Bakery Packaging Boxes for cakes, pastries and treats can match their Custom Bags to the same colours and style, so boxed goods and carry-out bags feel like one system.
If you also ship or display products in Product Packaging Boxes, you can align artwork so outer cartons, inner packs and Custom Bags all follow the same brand rules.
Gift, hamper and boutique brands can combine their Custom Bags with Gable Bag Packaging when they need both carry bags and self-standing gift packs on shelves.
Materials, printing and finishing options
We make Custom Bags from strong paper and card stocks, including kraft, coated and uncoated boards. Handles can be twisted paper, flat paper, rope or die-cut, depending on weight and style. Reinforced tops and bases help support heavier items.
Paper weights are chosen around what you sell. Lighter stocks suit clothing and soft goods, while heavier boards are better for shoes, bottles, candles and boxed gifts. Recycled and eco-aligned options are available for low-impact packaging ranges.
Printing is high-quality CMYK, with optional Pantone spot colours where you need exact brand tones. We keep lines, logos and fine details clean so bags photograph well for campaigns and social content.
Finishing options include:
- Matte, gloss or soft-touch lamination
- Foil on logos, borders or handles panels
- Spot UV to highlight key details
- Inside printing for a more premium unboxing feel
- Embossing or debossing on logos or crests
You can choose simple flat bags, side-gusset bags or block-bottom bags, depending on how your products sit. We can help you plan sizes so Custom Bags stack efficiently in-store and in storage.
