Start with how the bag will be used. Cotton is the all-rounder: it prints crisply, washes well and suits conferences, campuses and staff. Jute feels natural and premium and stands up on its own, which suits food shops and gifts. Polyester is light and often folds away. Non-woven bags suit very large giveaways and retail, and paper bags suit gift shops and boutiques for lighter purchases. The material guide compares them side by side.

Think about what people will carry. For papers, notebooks and a bottle, a standard tote that takes A4 is enough; for a laptop, books or a weekly shop, choose a larger shopper with a gusset, which adds depth. Long handles, usually around 60cm or more, let the bag sit on the shoulder; short handles are carried in the hand and suit gifts and shop counters. Each product page lists the measurements and handle length.

Cotton is often described by its weight, in grams per square metre (gsm) or ounces. A lighter tote is ideal for giveaways and large events; a heavier cotton or canvas tote feels more substantial, keeps its shape and lasts longer, which suits staff gifts and retail. The product page gives the weight where the maker provides it, and we’re happy to send a sample so you can feel the difference.

Yes. Foldable polyester shoppers pack into a small pouch, so they live in a pocket or handbag until they’re needed, which makes them popular giveaways for supermarkets, councils and campaigns. For food shopping, gusseted shoppers and laminated jute bags hold their shape and carry weight well. For chilled food, our cooler and lunch bags keep things cool on the way home.

Screen printing suits most cotton, jute, non-woven and paper bags, particularly in one to three solid colours and larger quantities. A digital transfer handles full-colour artwork and smaller runs. Embroidery gives heavier cotton and canvas totes a premium finish, and sublimation prints edge to edge on white polyester. The method finder narrows it down in three questions, and your quote confirms the right method for each bag.

On a standard tote the front print can be generous, often close to A4, but seams, gussets and handles set the limits, so the print area varies from bag to bag. Many totes can be printed on both sides, and some on the gusset too; each extra position is priced on its own. The free digital mock-up shows your design at its real size and position before you commit.

Yes. Welsh, Gaelic and bilingual wording is set exactly as you supply it, accents included, and we’ll show it on the proof for you to check before anything is printed. A bilingual bag works well for councils, universities, museums and campaigns across Wales and Scotland. Send your final text in a document rather than an image, so every accent comes through correctly.

Yes, and it’s how most conference and welcome packs are ordered. Alongside the bags we supply notebooks, pens, bottles, lanyards and event giveaways, all on one quote with matching colours and branding. If you’d like the bags packed before delivery, tell us and we’ll confirm what’s possible for your quantity and dates.

There’s no fixed minimum: we quote small runs too. Each method has a practical minimum, because a screen or set-up costs the same whether it’s spread over 50 bags or 5,000, so very small runs cost more per bag. You can mix bag colours within one design, and order different materials or sizes on the same order, each priced on its own line. Large runs bring the unit price down quickly.

Yes. A digital mock-up of your design on the bag comes free with your quote. If you want to check the material, size or handle length, we can send a blank sample, or a branded pre-production sample once the artwork is agreed. Some samples are free and some carry a cost, which we tell you up front. Nothing goes into production until you’ve approved the final proof in writing.

Plan on around 7 to 14 working days of production once your proof is approved and payment has cleared, or your purchase order is in place, with embroidery usually towards the longer end. Delivery comes on top: around 3 to 5 working days from UK-based suppliers to mainland Great Britain and 5 to 8 from European suppliers, customs included, with a little longer for Northern Ireland and the Highlands and Islands. Every date is an estimate until we confirm it in writing. For events and conferences, give us your date when you ask for a quote, so we can plan around it.

Every order is quoted individually: the price depends on the bag and material, the branding method, the number of colours and positions, the quantity and the delivery. Quotes are in pounds, ex VAT, with VAT at 20% added as one line, and any set-up is shown openly. Your contract and invoice are with Swish and Click Ltd, registered in Northern Ireland (NI737465), VAT number GB 530 7553 02. Pay a pro forma invoice by bank transfer, or buy on a purchase order with a 30-day credit account.
