How to Brief Personalised Jute Bags for a Bulk Order
Personalised jute bags start with a brief, not a template. When an organisation orders in bulk, the brief is what turns “a jute bag with our logo” into a specification that can be quoted accurately and produced consistently. This guide covers the whole-bag personalisation brief. Print files and artwork preparation in detail are covered in the printed-jute-bags guide.
Browse the Personalised Jute Bags range for formats, then use the sections below to define your version.
1. Purpose and contents
State what the bag is for and what will go inside, such as conference materials, a packaged gift, a welcome kit or everyday carrying. This drives every other choice. HANDCRAFT supplies the bags; contents and packing are separate unless agreed.
2. Size and shape
Give finished width, height and gusset depth, or describe the contents so dimensions can be recommended. Custom size is part of the service, so avoid stretching contents to fit a catalogue size. Check fit with your real items.
3. Fabric and colour
Choose natural colour (undyed) or a dyed body. Natural colour keeps the jute look and avoids dyeing time. Dyeing adds two weeks and extra charges. If finer artwork detail matters, consider juco or cotton.
4. Artwork and placement
Specify:
- Which side or sides are printed
- Logo, text and any secondary elements, in order of importance
- Colours, with brand references
- Approximate position and size relative to the panel
HANDCRAFT uses azo-free printing inks, and the printing method is confirmed per requirement. Review the artwork guidelines before sending files.
5. Handles, closures and features
Name the handle type and length you need, and whether a zip, pocket, lining or lamination is required. Note that the printable surface is the outer fabric, not the lining. Only list a closure if it is genuinely needed, since features add work and cost.
6. Quantity, variants and timing
State total quantity and any split by design, colour or size. Give the destination and the date bags must arrive. Usual delivery guidance is 2–4 weeks, depending on quantity and printing. Rush requests are assessed against the actual deadline.
7. Approvals
Agree how the design will be approved, whether by approval photograph or physical sample (decided case by case), and who signs off. Confirm what must be approved before production timing begins.

Questions buyers ask
Can each bag carry a different name?
Variable personalisation is not a standard confirmed option. Ask in the enquiry; most bulk programmes use a small number of agreed design variants.
Where do print-file details go?
Into the print brief. See preparing artwork for printed jute bags and the artwork guidelines.
Have the brief ready? Send it through the Bulk Enquiry route. HANDCRAFT will review each variant and prepare an individual quotation.
