Buy Promotional Bags

Branded bags travel further than almost anything else you can hand out — into offices, onto trains, across campus. We supply promotional bags in wholesale quantities to Australian businesses, universities, councils and charities, with printing and embroidery handled in-house from 25 units up. Buying in bulk simply means ordering larger volumes for a lower price per unit, so the more you take, the less each bag costs. Pick from cotton totes, laptop backpacks, cooler bags , drawstring packs or travel luggage, then add a one-colour print, full-colour transfer or stitched logo. Standard production takes 7–10 business days after you approve artwork, and express dispatch covers tighter deadlines. We deliver Australia-wide, and pair bags neatly with custom apparel or corporate gifts .

Before you order

Expert buying tips

Twenty years of bag orders taught us where budgets get wasted. Read these six before you sign off on a quantity.

  1. 1

    Match the fabric to the load. A 140gsm calico tote suits brochures and lanyards; anything heavier needs 10oz canvas or a woven laminate. Bags that split at an event cost more in goodwill than the saving on material.

  2. 2

    Order to the next quantity break. Bulk pricing steps down at set volumes, so 100 bags often cost barely more than 75. Ask us where the next break sits before you lock the number in.

  3. 3

    Pick the print method early. Screen printing wins on flat cotton and high volumes, embroidery gives backpacks a premium finish, and full-colour transfer handles gradients. The method shapes both artwork and price.

  4. 4

    Check the print area, not the bag size. Gussets, seams and zips all eat into usable space. Send us the bag you like and we will confirm the maximum logo dimensions before artwork starts.

  5. 5

    Build in the lead time. Production runs 7–10 business days from artwork approval, plus transit. For an event date inside three weeks, ask about express dispatch when you enquire rather than after ordering.

  6. 6

    Request a sample for anything you will reorder. Handle, stitching and colour read differently in person. One pre-production sample protects a 500-unit run and settles internal sign-off quickly.

Where they work hardest

Ideal use cases in Australia

A few of the briefs we quote most often, and the bag that usually wins each one.

  • Education and campus life. Orientation week totes and laptop backpacks for universities and TAFEs in Sydney, Brisbane and Perth.

  • Health and wellness programs. Cooler bags and drawstring packs for workplace health weeks, Heart Foundation walks and hospital staff kits.

  • Sustainability campaigns. Recycled and organic cotton totes for Clean Up Australia Day, council waste programs and plastic-free July pushes.

  • Sports clubs and juniors. Duffles and boot bags for local footy, netball and nippers seasons, with player numbers added on request.

  • Charity and community fundraising. Low-cost totes and cinch packs for Relay For Life, Daffodil Day stalls and Rotary community drives.

  • Seasonal and EOFY gifting. Gift-boxed briefcases and cooler bags for June EOFY thank-yous and end-of-year client rounds.

Answers

Frequently asked questions

Ordering, artwork, timing and returns. Anything else, just ask.

What is your minimum order quantity?

Most bags start at 25 units. Some ranges go lower and a few specialised styles start higher, so the product page always lists the exact minimum.

How long does production and delivery take?

Standard production runs 7–10 business days from the moment you approve artwork, then add transit. Express dispatch is available on many lines — tell us your event date and we will confirm what is achievable.

Where do you ship?

We deliver anywhere in Australia, including regional addresses, and can split a single order across multiple sites. We do not ship outside Australia.

Can I order a sample before committing?

Yes. Ask for a blank sample to check the fabric and construction, or a pre-production sample with your logo applied before the full run starts.

What artwork format do you need?

Send vector artwork — AI, EPS or PDF with fonts outlined. High-resolution PNG works for full-colour transfers. If all you have is a JPG, our studio can redraw it for you.

Are there setup fees?

A one-off setup applies per colour and per print position, and it is always itemised in your quote. Reorders of the same artwork usually skip it.

Can you match my brand colours?

We print to Pantone references and match as closely as the fabric allows. Dyed cotton and woven polyester take ink differently, so we flag any likely variation before production.

What is your returns policy on branded stock?

Custom-printed goods cannot be returned for change of mind, which is why we send an artwork proof for sign-off. If anything arrives faulty or off-spec, contact us and we will replace or credit it.
