Product details

Add the finishing touch to your customer’s experience with custom printed gift bags that feel as special as the product.

Ideal for retail purchases, corporate gifts and promotional events, our personalised gift bags blend practical packaging with memorable presentation.

What sets a gift bag apart is its emphasis on presentation and detail. Designed especially for the unboxing and gifting experience, our gift bags combine quality materials with carefully chosen handles to make the packaging feel like part of the gift itself.

With a wide range of sizes and printing options available, you can create an eye-catching bag that captures the essence and character of your brand. 

Each bag can be printed with your logo or bespoke design, creating branded gift bags that customers can keep and reuse.

Create personalised gift bags tailored to your products and brand, with bespoke sizes, bag colours, handles and printing options.

Choose matt lamination for a refined finish, gloss lamination for a vibrant shine, or kraft paper for a natural look.

Handle options include cotton or PP rope, cotton ribbon, satin ribbon, grosgrain ribbon and die-cut handles. Choose matching handle colours for a coordinated design or contrasting colours to stand out.

Print your logo, brand message or artwork, from single-colour designs to full-colour CMYK printing, with Pantone colour matching available. Extend your design inside the bag or add printed ribbon.

Complete your gift bags with ribbon closures, eyelets, gloss UV detailing, hot foil, embossing or debossing. Our team can explain the options and provide samples to help you decide.

Order our luxury bags in quantities to suit your business.

Minimum order quantity is just 100 bags.

The same wide range of customisation options is available across both smaller and larger orders, including bespoke sizes, full-colour printing, premium handles and specialist finishes.

For bulk and wholesale orders, the cost per bag typically decreases as the order quantity increases. The larger the order, the lower the cost per bag.

Your final price will depend on the quantity, bag size and chosen customisation options.

We provide completely free delivery across the UK.

For orders of fewer than 500 luxury bags, we can manufacture, print and deliver your bags within approximately 3 weeks. Larger orders may require additional time.

If you have a fixed deadline, we recommend discussing it with our team before placing your order so that we can confirm the fastest available turnaround.

Turnaround times vary depending on your order quantity, bag size and the complexity of your printed design.

Paper material used in our luxury bags is FSC® certified.

Our printed gift bags are designed to be kept and reused, whether for another gift, carrying personal items or storage. Encouraging customers to reuse their bags helps extend their useful life.

Recyclability depends on the materials and finishes you choose. Unlaminated kraft paper bags with paper handles offer an option designed for paper recycling, while plastic lamination and decorative features can make recycling more difficult.

If recyclability is a priority, our team can help you choose suitable materials, handles and finishes. Customers should check local recycling guidance before disposing of their bags.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum order for a printed luxury bag?

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.

What is the estimated delivery time for a luxury bag?

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.

Can I order a sample before placing an order?

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.

Do I get an artwork proof before I order?

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.

Will different handle types incur different costs?

Yes, there is a small difference in cost between handles, however this is small enough that it should not affect your choice of handle. We recommend selecting the handle type that is perfect for your bag.

What type of gift bag is right for my business?

The right gift bag depends on your products, brand style, budget and required finish. Our Gift Bags Guide compares matt, gloss and kraft bags alongside handle styles, sizes and customisation options to help you choose.

What industries benefit the most from luxury gift bags?

Typically, high-end retail, fashion and corporate brands benefit from luxury gift bags as they’re the perfect way to convey quality and style through a carrier bag.

How do printed gift bags enhance brand image?

A printed gift bag is the perfect way to show your brand in the best light. Whether you’re a high-end retailer looking for a gift bag that matches the style and sophistication of your brand, or a brand looking for the ideal bag for your high-end event, a luxury gift bag is the best bag for showcasing your brand and messaging in the perfect light.

What's the difference between gift bags and luxury bags?

By definition, luxury bags and gift bags can often be used interchangeably, with both referring to premium bags designed around presentation. Gift bags tend to lean slightly more towards gifting and the unboxing experience, while luxury bags are often more focused on premium retail, brand presentation and the wider customer experience

Are luxury gift bags eco-friendly?

Our luxury bags are highly reusable and this should be encouraged when packaging your products in these gift bags. Though laminated gift bags are not recyclable, a kraft luxury gift bag can be configured to be 100% recyclable, including with paper rope handles, so get in touch with us if eco-friendliness is a non-optional consideration.

Can printed gift bags be reused?

Our printed gift bags can be kept and reused for gifting. They are commonly reused for carrying personal items or storing belongings. Choosing a sturdy bag with durable handles helps customers get more use from it, extending its life and keeping your branding visible beyond the original purchase.

Can I order gift bags printed with my logo?

Yes, we can print your logo, brand message or bespoke artwork onto your gift bags to create a coordinated look for retail purchases, corporate gifts and events. Printing your logo onto your gift bag can help make the bag unique, distinguishing yourself from competitors. Share your design with our team and we’ll guide you through the printing and finishing options to help your branding stand out.

How can I personalise my gift bags?

Our personalised gift bags can be customised in size, colour, handles and print to complement your products and brand. Choose a matt or gloss laminated finish for a polished presentation, or kraft paper for a natural look. Additional options include foil detailing, embossing and debossing, with our team on hand to help you choose the right combination.

What makes a gift bag "luxury"?

A luxury gift bag has no corners cut when it comes to style, sophistication, quality and design. Luxury gift bags have a well-considered and high quality finish, whether this is a matt lamination, a gloss lamination, or an organic & natural kraft paper finish.

Do printing features incur additional cost?

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.

Can you match specific Pantone colours?

Yes. We understand that brand colour needs to be exact. Send us your Pantone reference (or your brand guidelines) and we'll print to that reference as standard. Where a shade can't be hit exactly on a particular material or print process, we'll tell you before we go to print and show you the closest match we can achieve.

How do luxury gift bags compare to standard gift bags?

A luxury gift bag is the most common form of gift bag, as it’s incredibly important to show style and sophistication. These are typically made from higher quality material and have no compromises on quality and customisation. Standard gift bags will often be made from lower-quality materials, with limitations on strength, style, printing, customisation and quality in favour of a focus on cost and storage.

What materials are used in luxury gift bags?

Luxury gift bags are made from a thick paper which is either kept natural, or laminated with a matt or gloss finish. Additional materials can be used for the handles, such as ribbon or rope, and you can also utilise printing features such as embossing, debossing or hot foil.
