Gift Bags

RAJA UK's gift bags are built for gift shops, boutiques, florists, jewellers and event teams who want presentation to do some of the selling. From matt and gloss laminated bags to coloured Kraft and cotton totes, we stock gift bags in the sizes, colours and finishes UK retailers use all year.

Whether you are packing a jewellery purchase, presenting a wedding favour or sending a branded press gift, our range covers small gift bags, large gift bags, and extra large gift bags. Each gift bag is chosen for its handle strength, finish and colour consistency, so a repeat order in six months still matches the one on your shelf now. For plain, high-volume retail carrying rather than gift presentation, paper carrier bags are the more appropriate choice.

Our range covers:

• Matt finish laminated gift bags - laminated paper gift bags in a wide colour range with a soft matt finish, suited to boutique and premium retail.
• Gloss finish laminated gift bags - the same laminated construction with a high-shine finish that lifts colour and print at point of sale.
• Ribbon handle gift bags - black or white bags with ribbon handles for jewellery, beauty and higher-value gift presentation.
• Coloured Kraft gift bags with twisted handles - twisted handle Kraft in black, navy, pink, red, green and gold, in small, medium and large formats.
• Patterned Kraft gift bags - polka dot, striped, astral and pastel designs for seasonal ranges and brand-led displays.
• Mini gift bags - small paper bags for confectionery, favours, jewellery and add-on purchases at the till.
• Paper gift bags with window - laminated bags with a clear window panel, so the product stays visible without opening the bag.
• Cotton tote bags and non-woven bags - reusable fabric and polypropylene bags for events, goody bags and repeat-use retail.
• Custom printed gift bags - your logo, artwork and brand colours applied across the Kraft and laminated ranges.

Key features and benefits:

• Match the finish to the price point - Kraft suits everyday retail, laminated suits premium lines, and ribbon handles suit high-value gifts.
• Cover every size you sell - heights run from 100mm to 500mm, so small, medium, large and extra-large gifts all have a bag that fits.
• Buy gift bags wholesale - bulk packs from 10 to 100 bags, with volume discounts applied automatically at the basket.
• Keep colour consistent across reorders - a stocked colour range means a repeat order matches the bags already on your shelf.
• Choose recyclable where it matters - uncoated Kraft bags recycle with household paper and card. Use the recyclable filter to check laminated lines.
• Offer a bag customers reuse - cotton tote bags and non-woven polypropylene bags carry your brand well beyond the first trip home.
• Buy from an accredited supplier - RAJA UK holds ISO 9001:2015 accreditation and an EcoVadis Gold sustainability rating.

Choosing the right gift bag

When selecting gift bags for your business, consider:

• Size and opening - check the opening width and gusset depth, not only the height. A boxed gift needs gusset depth that a flat item does not.
• Finish - uncoated Kraft reads natural and eco-conscious. Matt lamination reads premium and understated. Gloss lamination lifts colour and print.
• Handle type - twisted paper handles suit everyday retail. Ribbon handles suit jewellery, beauty and higher-value gifts. Flat handles suit lighter items.
• Colour strategy - a single house colour builds recognition across the year. Patterned and seasonal designs suit Christmas, Easter and wedding ranges.
• Recyclability - uncoated paper and Kraft go in household paper and card collections. Laminated and coated finishes often do not, so check before you claim it.
• Pack size and stock turnover - packs run from 10 to 100 depending on the range, so match the pack size to how quickly the line sells.
• Branding - custom printed options carry a minimum order quantity and a lead time, so plan them ahead of a launch or a seasonal peak.

Examples include:

• Mini gift bags suit confectionery, wedding favours and small jewellery items.
• Laminated gift bags suit boutique, beauty and premium retail.
• Gift bags with decorative ribbon handles suit jewellery and higher-value gift presentation.
• A fabric bag suits events, conferences and goody bags.
• Large gift bags and extra large gift bags suit homewares, clothing and hampers.

FAQs

What are gift bags?

Gift bags are paper or fabric bags with handles, used to present a purchase or a gift without wrapping it. Retail bags are usually Kraft paper, laminated paper, cotton or non-woven polypropylene, in heights from around 100mm to 500mm. Handles are twisted paper, flat paper or ribbon, depending on the weight and the price point.

What is the difference between a gift bag and a carrier bag?

A carrier bag is a plain retail bag for carrying a purchase out of the shop. A gift bag is a presentation format, using laminated, coloured or patterned paper and heavier handles to make the product look finished.

Are gift bags recyclable?

Uncoated paper and Kraft bags are recyclable in household paper and card collections. Laminated, foiled and glitter-finished bags usually are not, because the coating cannot be separated from the paper. Cotton and non-woven polypropylene alternatives are not kerbside recyclable, but they are designed to be reused many times.

Which gift bag is right for jewellery and small items?

Mini bags suit confectionery, favours and small add-on purchases at the till. For jewellery and beauty, ribbon handle gift bags in black or white give a more premium finish and carry small boxed items securely. Choose a bag with enough gusset depth for the box, not just enough height.

Can I buy gift bags wholesale?

Yes. RAJA UK supplies them in bulk to retailers and businesses across the UK, with volume discounts applied automatically at the basket. Pack sizes run from 10 to 100 bags depending on the range. Next-day delivery is available on orders placed before 4pm.

What sizes do gift bags come in?

RAJA UK stocks them from around 100mm to 500mm in height, covering mini gift bags, small gift bags, medium gift bags, large gift bags and extra large gift bags. Openings run from 100mm to 600mm. Always check the opening width and gusset alongside the height, because a tall bag with a narrow gusset will not take a boxed product.
