Printed Gloss Laminated Luxury Bags

There is no minimum order quantity. That said, we do recommend ordering at least 100 bags. Print setup costs are fixed, so spreading them across a bigger run brings your cost per bag down considerably, and ordering in one batch keeps colour and finish consistent across all your bags. The same wide range of customisation options is available across both small and large quantities, including bespoke sizes, full-colour printing, premium handles and specialist finishes. For bulk and wholesale orders, the cost per bag typically decreases as the quantity increases.

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 if you need your bags by a specific deadline. 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.

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.

As part of our process, you will receive an artwork proof before production begins. We’ll work with you on any revisions and help tailor your design to the available print options. Production will only begin once you’re happy with the artwork and have approved it.

Yes, samples can be arranged so you can assess the bag, material, size and finish before committing to a full order. Availability may vary depending on the bag type, specification and the type of print requested. As far as possible, we aim to provide samples that closely reflect the final bag you are looking to create.

The main difference is the finish and appearance of the bag. Matt laminated bags have a smooth, understated finish that gives branding a softer and more refined look, while gloss laminated bags have a shinier surface that helps colours and printed artwork appear brighter and more vibrant. Both finishes add a protective layer to the bag and can improve durability. Choose matt laminated luxury bags for a more subtle, premium and understated finish. Choose gloss laminated luxury bags when you want brighter colours, stronger visual impact and a more reflective finish.

Lamination adds a protective outer layer to the surface of a luxury paper bag, helping improve its durability and giving the bag a more premium finish. This makes it ideal for boutique, fashion or jewellery industries. It’s especially useful for premium retail bags where the presentation of the branding and overall finish is an important part of the customer experience. 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.

Any size is available when it comes to luxury bags. When choosing a size, consider the width, height and gusset, as well as how much space your products need inside the bag. Larger or bulkier items will generally require a wider gusset, while smaller products can use a more compact format. For help choosing the right dimensions, see our Luxury Bags Size Guide.

When it comes to luxury carrier bags, it's all about the experience. Luxury bags are different to other carrier bags in that they play a vital part of the buyer's journey - they become a part of the vital buyer's experience both in unboxing and in presentation. Luxury bags are commonly used by retailers and brands looking for premium packaging. They are popular across fashion, jewellery, cosmetics, beauty, gifting, hospitality, events and other high-end retail applications.

No. Laminated paper bags can't be recycled in most household collections, because the plastic film can't easily be separated from the paper. They're strong enough to reuse many times, though, which helps extend their life. If recyclability is a priority, choose our kraft luxury bags.

Luxury bags can be designed with sustainability in mind. By considering the paper, finish and construction, it will often determine how long the bag can be reused. Their strong construction makes many luxury bags suitable for repeated use for shopping, gifting or storage, helping extend their useful life. For customers prioritising recyclability, unlaminated Kraft Luxury Bags are generally the better option than laminated styles.

Kraft luxury bags are recyclable and they are also made form FSC® certified paper; 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.
