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.

What sizes are available for printed luxury bags?

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.

What are the benefits of printed luxury bags?

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.

How do I choose between matt laminated, glossy laminated and kraft luxury bags?

There are lots of choices to consider when building your luxury gift bag. 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.

What is the benefit of lamination on a gift bag?

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.

Will different handle types incur different costs?

Yes, the type of handle you choose can affect the final cost of your luxury bags. We offer a range of options including PP rope, cotton rope, cotton ribbon, satin ribbon and die-cut handles, with some materials and finishes being more premium than others. Handles are available in different widths, lengths and colours, with stock colours available as well as options to match your branding or Pantone reference. They can also be knotted or integrated into the bag, depending on the style you are looking for. Our team can talk you through the available options and help tailor the most suitable handle to your budget, bag design and intended use.

Are printed luxury bags recyclable?

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.

How can I customise a printed luxury bag?

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.

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.

What are luxury bags used for?

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.

Are printed luxury bags sustainable?

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.

Which type of luxury bag should I choose?

The right luxury bag will depend your unique use case and application. The type of luxury bag affects the finish, appearance, sustainability requirements and turnaround time you are looking for. Choose matt laminated bags for a smooth, understated finish, gloss laminated bags for a brighter and more reflective appearance, or kraft luxury bags for a natural, unlaminated option. We also offer luxury bottle bags for bottled products and rapid print luxury bags where speed is the priority.
