Personalised paper and gift bags

Why personalised paper and gift bags work for Swiss businesses

Packaging is the first physical contact a customer has with your brand after a purchase. A plain white bag does the job of carrying the product; a personalised paper bag does that and keeps working as a visible brand impression for the rest of the day and often well beyond it.

For retail, hospitality, and event companies in Switzerland, branded gift bags serve a double function. They protect and present the product, and they turn the customer into a walking touchpoint. A well-printed paper gift bag spotted on Bahnhofstrasse or Rue du Rhone is unpaid advertising in a context where the audience is already in a buying mindset.

The economics are straightforward. At volumes of 1000 units, a custom paper bag with full-colour print on both sides costs between CHF 1.38 and CHF 2.19 per piece depending on size and material. Compared to a digital impression that lasts a fraction of a second, a bag that gets reused even once doubles the exposure at zero additional cost.

Custom gift bags and bags for gifts in bulk

Ordering gift bags bulk is common for businesses that run seasonal campaigns, product launches, or corporate gifting programmes. The key variables are size, paper weight, handle type, and print area.

The Stampasi range covers six size brackets, from small bags suited to jewellery and cosmetics (9.5 x 4 x 17 cm) up to XXL formats for clothing and larger items (31 x 12 x 41 cm). Handle options vary by product: twisted paper handles on the agricultural-waste line, flat or plastic handles on handmade integra paper bags. Both handle types are durable enough for retail use and keep the bag looking clean after repeated handling.

For companies ordering goody bags or goodie bags for events, conferences, or trade fairs, the medium and large formats tend to work best. They fit brochures, small gifts, and sample products without looking overstuffed or underfilled.

Eco-friendly personalised paper bags and sustainable materials

Swiss companies face growing expectations around packaging sustainability, from customers and from regulation. Paper bags made from agricultural waste meet both: the 150 g/m2 material uses crop residue instead of virgin pulp, is produced in Europe, and is fully recyclable at end of life.

The 170 g/m2 integra paper option delivers a more premium finish with a matte surface, well suited to retail, hospitality, and luxury goods packaging. These bags are also 100% recyclable and made in Europe.

For businesses that need a reusable alternative to single-use paper, the catalogue covers GRS-certified recycled cotton gift bags (150 g/m2, with drawstring closure) and recycled polyester bags with full sublimation print. These options work well as present bags for corporate events or as branded packaging that customers keep and reuse.

FAQ

What types of personalised paper and gift bags are available at Stampasi?

The range covers agricultural-waste paper bags with twisted handles (150 g/m2, six sizes from small to XXL), handmade integra paper bags with plastic handles (170 g/m2, small and medium), recycled cotton gift bags with drawstring closure, and recycled polyester bags with full sublimation print. All paper products are made in Europe and 100% recyclable.

What is the minimum order quantity for custom gift bags?

Minimum quantities vary by product. Most paper gift bags and personalised paper bags are available from 250 pieces. Exact minimums and per-unit pricing at each quantity bracket are shown on the individual product page.

How much do personalised paper bags cost?

Prices start at CHF 1.38 per unit (excl. VAT) at a volume of 1000 pieces for the small agricultural-waste paper bag. Larger sizes and premium materials such as integra paper cost between CHF 1.46 and CHF 2.19 per unit at the same volume. Pricing is always shown per unit and adjusts based on the quantity ordered.

Can I print my logo on both sides of the bag?

Yes. All paper bag products in the catalogue offer customisable print on both front and back. The full surface of each side is available for your logo, brand colours, or any other design.

Are your paper gift bags recyclable?

All paper bags in the range are 100% recyclable. The agricultural-waste paper line uses crop residue as raw material, reducing reliance on virgin wood pulp. The integra paper bags are also fully recyclable. Recycled cotton and polyester gift bags are reusable and washable rather than single-use.

What is the difference between paper gift bags and goody bags?

Paper gift bags are typically used in retail and corporate gifting for packaging a product or present. Goody bags (also called goodie bags) are filled with multiple small items and handed out at events, conferences, or trade fairs. At Stampasi, the same personalised paper bags serve both purposes. The medium and large formats fit brochures, samples, and small promotional items well.

How long does delivery take for custom paper bags in Switzerland?

Standard delivery within Switzerland takes three to five working days after production is complete. Production time depends on the product and quantity but typically runs two to four working days after artwork approval. Express options are available for tight deadlines.

What file format should I use for printing on gift bags?

Vector files work best: AI, EPS, or PDF with fonts converted to outlines. For full-colour photo prints or sublimation (on recycled polyester bags), high-resolution JPEG or PNG files are also accepted. Each product page lists the specific artwork requirements for that item.

Can I order branded gift bags in multiple sizes within the same order?

Yes. Each size is a separate product in the catalogue, so you can add multiple sizes to the same order and configure quantities independently. This is useful for businesses that need different bag sizes for different product lines or gift formats.

What is the best gift bag option for a corporate event in Switzerland?

For corporate events, the medium agricultural-waste paper bag (24 x 9 x 32 cm) or the medium integra paper bag (18 x 9 x 23 cm) are the most commonly ordered. Both offer enough space for brochures, branded items, and small gifts without being oversized. If you want a reusable option that attendees keep after the event, the GRS-certified recycled cotton gift bag is a strong alternative.
