Gift Bags with Logo: How to Pack Event Sets

Logo gift bags for events start from €0.15/pc at 100 pieces — that's a kraft paper bag 25×11×32 cm with two-colour printing. The most popular sizes for corporate sets are 25×15×32 cm (mug, notebook, pen) and 34×20×35 cm (hoodie or jacket plus small items). The minimum order is 100 pcs, and production with printing takes 6–10 business days.

Pack the set first, then order the bag

The most common mistake in event preparation: bags are ordered first, by eye, and then it turns out the hoodie doesn't fit, or the thermal mug pushes out the bottom. The practical order is the opposite.

Put one set together on a table exactly as you want to hand it to the recipient — heaviest items at the bottom (bottle, thermal mug, book), light items on top (notebook, card, sweets). Measure the resulting stack: width, depth and height. Add 2–3 cm to the height, so the top of the bag stays free for paper filling or a folded edge, and 1–2 cm to the depth, so the bag doesn't stretch and the print doesn't crease.

Weight limit

Kraft paper 70–100 g/m² with flat or twisted handles can in practice hold 2–4 kg, depending on size and paper thickness. If the set includes a glass bottle plus a ceramic mug, choose the 90/100 g/m² option (large sizes 45×16×48 and 49.5×14×44 cm) and don't put all the weight on one side.

Which size fits what

Prices are indicative, excl. VAT, and depend on quantity, paper thickness and number of print colours. At 500 and 1000 pcs the price per piece drops noticeably.

What printing on kraft paper looks like

Colours on unbleached kraft paper don't look the same as on a white coated sheet — the paper's brown tone blends into every colour. In practice this means:

• A single-colour logo (white, black, one brand colour) works reliably and looks clean.
• Light tones (yellow, light blue, pastels) become dull on a brown background; if your brand colour is light, it's better to use white printing or white kraft paper.
• Photos and gradients aren't suitable on kraft paper — they need a different packaging solution.
• Two colours is the standard and usually enough for a logo with a tagline or website address.

The artwork must be submitted as vector graphics (.ai, .eps, .pdf, .svg), CMYK. If you only have a JPG from a presentation, we can redraw the logo — this needs to be agreed separately. A print proof is approved by email before production.

How to pack 200 sets without it taking the whole day

With larger quantities, packing takes more time than the ordering itself. A proven process:

1. Sort items into piles by type on a long table — each type gets its own spot.
2. Open all the bags in advance and line them up; opening is the slowest step.
3. Go along the line and place items in the same order in each bag — this way you immediately notice if something is missing.
4. Put the card or programme in last, with the text facing up.
5. Order 5–10% spare bags — a few always get damaged during packing or transport.

If the bags will be transported to the event venue, plan to carry them upright in boxes or on a pallet; packed bags stacked on top of each other get squeezed and handles come loose.

What else to arrange at the same time

A gift set usually needs more than just the bag. In one order we often combine bags, printed clothing, mugs or thermal mugs, as well as business cards and cards with a thank-you message. Roll-up banners and banners are prepared separately for the event area.

Timelines: our own printing (stickers, cards, posters) 1–3 business days; paper bags and other promotional products with logo with printing 6–10 business days — production 4–7 business days depending on quantity plus delivery 2–3 days. If the event is in two weeks, keep in mind that the artwork needs to be approved in the coming days. We look at urgent jobs separately.

Frequently asked questions

What's the minimum number of bags I need to order?

The minimum order for printed paper bags is 100 pcs. In smaller quantities, setting up printing isn't cost-effective — in that case it's more practical to use a plain bag with a sticker, which we can print even in small quantities, in the stickers section.

Which size fits a hoodie or sweatshirt?

A folded hoodie fits in a 34×18×35 or 34×20×35 cm bag; if the set also includes a mug and materials, go for 45×16×48 cm. A T-shirt or polo already fits in the 30×17×35 cm size.

How much weight can a bag hold?

Depending on paper thickness and size, in practice 2–4 kg. For glass bottles and ceramics, choose 90/100 g/m² paper and distribute the weight across the bottom of the bag, not in one corner.

Can both sides be printed?

Yes, printing can be placed on one or both sides, up to 2 colours. Double-sided printing slightly increases the price — we provide the exact amount in the quote for the specific item.

Are the bags recyclable?

Yes, all kraft paper bags in the catalogue are recyclable. If you'd like to highlight this, the print can include a suitable symbol or short text.

How long should I expect from order to delivery?

Usually 6–10 business days: production with printing 4–7 business days plus delivery 2–3 days. The countdown starts from artwork approval, not from the request.
