Paper bags for events and trade fairs
At trade fairs and events, bags carry catalogues, samples, promotional items and participant packs. They should fit the planned contents, be comfortable to carry and display the artwork clearly in use and in event photographs.
Start with a contents list and the event date
A common mistake is choosing a size before assembling the materials. First arrange catalogues, folders, samples and promotional items into the final set, then measure its width, height, depth and weight. Also provide the event deadline, allowing time for artwork preparation, approval and production.
A size for the complete pack
The bag should hold the largest catalogue or folder and the other materials without bending them.
Visible artwork
We select the print area according to the design, number of colours and the distance from which the logo should be legible.
Handles for extended carrying
Choose handles according to the weight of the set and how long participants will carry it.
Time for artwork approval
The schedule should allow for submitting a suitable file and approving the design.
Recommended bag types
These options are a starting point for a quotation. The final construction depends on product dimensions, weight, quantity, artwork and deadline.

Frequently asked questions
When should I send an enquiry before an event?
As soon as the contents and quantity are established. Lead time depends on construction, material availability, printing method and artwork approval.
How do I calculate the quantity needed?
Start with the number of participants or planned packs and add an agreed spare quantity. Calculate each size separately.
Will the bag fit an A4 catalogue?
Provide the actual catalogue or folder dimensions, including thickness. Our sales team will select a size that holds the whole pack without bending it.
Can you print full-colour artwork?
Selected printing methods support this, but the choice depends on bag type, artwork, quantity and budget.
