Wrapping is the part of a gift people leave until the car. The personalised presentation gift bag exists to remove that step: a semi-transparent bag with black edging, a moulded oval handle and a wide black satin ribbon, so whatever goes inside arrives looking like it came from a boutique. It stands up on its own, which makes it easy to fill and easy to photograph. This is what to put in it and what to print on it.
What fits
About 31 cm wide, 25 cm tall and 13 cm deep. That takes a mug and a candle; a jewellery box and a makeup bag with a card; a bottle of wine; a small hamper; or a whole back-to-school set (bento, bottle, stickers). It will not take a 40oz tumbler standing up or a folded apron flat; the apron rolls and fits. Because the bag is semi-transparent, what is inside is part of the look: tissue in one colour, the gift on top.
Name it or leave it plain
Type a name into the personalisation box and it is applied to the outside in the lettering style you choose, from six; leave the box blank and the bag arrives plain. Both cost the same. Name it when the bag is the wrapping for a person (a bridesmaid, a teacher, a birthday); leave it plain when it will be reused for the next gift, which it will be, because it is a reusable bag rather than paper.
What to print
- The recipient's first name
- Name and role: Olivia · Bridesmaid
- For Mum
- Mrs Lee, Year 2
- Happy 40th, Sam
- The Ahmeds
- Merry Christmas, Nan
- Thank you
- With love from all of us
- Welcome to the team
Keep it to one line. Script reads as a gift; Block reads as a label. The font guide shows both.
Where it earns its keep
- Wedding party: a named bag per bridesmaid and groomsman, lined up on the morning. The photograph everybody takes.
- Teachers: a bag with the teacher's name holding a coaster, a notebook and the class card. Looks considered, costs little.
- Sets: the school kit or the desk set as one gift instead of three loose items.
- Bottles: a wine or a gin with a name on the bag instead of a bottle bag that gets thrown away.
- Your own products: small businesses use it as retail packaging for a boutique finish without a printing run.
Ordering
Everything is prepared to order in Cheshire, usually dispatched within one to three working days, with free UK delivery. The name is copied exactly from your order, so check the spelling before you check out; a plain bag can be ordered at any time and reused. For several named bags, add each to the basket with its own name; there is no minimum. More packaging and table pieces are in wedding favours you can personalise, and the mini wine bottle bag is the small sibling for miniatures.
Frequently asked questions
What size is the presentation gift bag?
About 31 by 25 by 13 cm and free-standing. It takes a mug and a candle, a jewellery box and a makeup bag, a bottle, a small hamper or a school set; an apron fits rolled.
Can I order the gift bag without a name?
Yes. Leave the personalisation box blank and it arrives plain, at the same price, and can be reused for the next gift.
Is the presentation bag reusable?
Yes. It is a semi-transparent bag with a moulded handle and a satin ribbon rather than paper, so it is used again rather than thrown away.
