A show bag, or showbag, is a themed bag of products sold at agricultural shows and fairs across Australia. Visitors buy them from showbag pavilions and stalls, and the goodies are usually packed in a bright plastic carry bag with a die cut handle, often printed with the brand or theme of the bag.
Show bags are not just for the big royal shows. Exhibitors, showbag companies, councils, schools and sporting clubs use them at regional shows, fetes, markets, product launches and community days. If you are handing out bags at an expo or conference, see our trade show bags page.
Plastic is still the most common choice, but non-woven bags, calico bags and paper bags are popular where shows or states ask for reusable options. Shows we see show bags ordered for include:
- Sydney Royal Easter Show
- Melbourne Royal Show
- Royal Queensland Show (the Ekka)
- Royal Adelaide Show
- Perth Royal Show
- Royal Hobart Show
- Royal Canberra Show
- Darwin Show
- Cairns Show and regional shows
How to choose your show bags
- Size
- Medium 255x380mm suits small showbags and sample packs. Large 415x530mm fits a full showbag, and the XXL 600x725mm white bag takes posters and bulky items.
- Thickness
- Medium coloured bags are 40 micron and large bags are 50 micron, so choose large for heavier showbags.
- Colour
- Match your brand or theme, or use a different colour for each showbag so stall staff can grab the right one fast.
- Printing
- A printed show bag keeps your logo in view all day. Plain bags ship from stock, while printed bags need extra lead time.
Custom printed show bags that keep your brand on display
Get your logo printed on white plastic show bags in 1 or 2 colours, on one or both sides, from 500 bags. Printed bags typically ship 10 to 15 business days after artwork approval. Need a custom colour or size? We can make them to order.

Show bag FAQs
Everything you need to know before you order show bags.
Can I print my logo on show bags?
+
Yes. Our express printed plastic show bags are white die cut bags printed in 1 or 2 colours on one or both sides, from 500 bags, and typically ship 10 to 15 business days after you approve the artwork. For other colours, sizes or larger runs we can have show bags made to order, which takes about 12 to 16 weeks after approval with a typical minimum of around 3,000 bags depending on the style. Request a quote or call 1800 555 343.
What colours do your plastic show bags come in?

White, black, clear, red, orange, yellow, lime green, aqua, purple, pink, gold and silver. Most colours come in medium 255x380mm and large 415x530mm; silver is large only, and clear comes in small, medium and large. Browse every option in our die cut plastic bag range.
What sizes are available?
+

Order early in show season. See our freight page for your postcode.
How much does shipping cost?
+
Freight is priced on your postcode and order weight. At checkout you choose a cheaper slower carrier, a faster one or Australia Post, and the cost is shown before you pay. For a rough figure first, use the calculator on our freight page.
Are plastic show bags allowed at every show?
+
Rules differ by state. Western Australia and South Australia ban plastic shopping bags with handles, so paper or calico bags are the safer choice there. Queensland requires plastic shopping bags to meet recycled content and reuse standards, and our plain die cut bags are not sold as Queensland compliant. In NSW, Victoria and Tasmania, plastic bags thicker than 35 micron are allowed. Always check with your show organiser and your state environment department before ordering.
What is the difference between show bags and trade show bags?
+
Show bags are usually sold to the public at agricultural shows, packed with products. Trade show bags are handed out free by exhibitors at expos and conferences, and are more often reusable non-woven or calico bags printed with a logo. Our trade show bags page covers those options.
