Shopping Bags size guide
Typical sizes buyers order. Every size can be adjusted — share the item the bag must carry and we will size it to fit.
Dimensions are approximate starting points, not fixed catalogue sizes.
How to choose shopping bags for a bulk order
Decide these four things first — they drive suitability, quality and price.
Load
Grocery and retail loads need gussets and reinforced handles; giveaways can be lighter.
Material
Non-woven for economy, cotton for washable reuse, jute for a natural premium look, paper for boutique retail.
Fabric weight
Specify GSM — it decides strength and price more than any other choice.
Print
One- or two-colour screen printing keeps costs down on large runs.

When Kolkata buyers order shopping bags
Demand for shopping bags rises around these periods. Placing the order and approving the sample a few weeks ahead keeps delivery on schedule. Dates are approximate and vary by year.
Durga Puja · September–October
Eastern India's biggest festive season — shopping, new clothes and gifting peak around the pujas.
Diwali · October–November
The biggest corporate-gifting and festive-retail period of the year. Gift bags, corporate gift bags and printed carry bags are usually finalised several weeks in advance.
Wedding season · roughly November–February, with more dates in April–May
Return-gift bags, potlis, jewellery pouches and garment covers peak with wedding dates. Personalised printing needs extra lead time.
Christmas & New Year · December
Year-end client gifting, company events and festive retail.
Common mistakes when ordering shopping bags
- Too-low GSM for the weight carried
- Too many print colours on a budget bag
- Ignoring your state's carry-bag rules
- Ordering one size when the store needs two or three
