Your bag is walking advertising. Get your name out there every market day.

Build your market stall brand with every bag you hand out

At a busy market, the bags your customers carry home are seen by dozens of other people. A simple 1–2 colour print on a kraft or white carry bag turns every sale into a brand impression. QIS Packaging offers custom printed paper carry bags for market stall holders who want to stand out, build recognition and look more professional at every event. Speak to our team about minimum quantities, sizing and lead times. We recommend ordering 4–6 weeks before your first event to allow for print production.

Frequently asked questions: market stall packaging

Common questions from stall holders across Australia.

What packaging do market stalls typically use?
Most Australian market stalls use a mix of paper carry bags for customers to carry purchases, flat paper bags for counter wrapping, and cellophane or press seal bags for portioned items like spices, seeds and handmade goods. Food stalls and farmers markets also rely heavily on brown paper SOS grocery bags for bulky or heavy produce. The right mix depends on what you sell. Our team can help you pick the right sizes and styles for your stall type.
How many bags should I order for a market day?
A good rule of thumb is 1–1.5 bags per expected transaction. If you expect 200 sales across a market day, bring 250–300 bags in your most common sizes plus a small buffer. Most QIS carry bags come in packs of 125–250. With same-day dispatch from Brisbane, you can order mid-week and have stock in time for the weekend market. Allow 3–5 business days for delivery to regional areas.
Can I get custom printed bags for my market stall?
Yes. QIS Packaging offers 1–2 colour custom printed paper carry bags on both white and brown kraft. Minimum quantities apply and production lead times are typically 4–6 weeks. Custom printed bags help your stall stand out at busy markets and give your brand exposure every time a customer carries one home. Contact our team for a quote on your preferred size and design.
What is the difference between SOS bags and carry bags?
SOS (self-opening satchel) bags are flat-bottomed paper bags without handles that stand upright on their own, best for heavy or bulky items like fruit, vegetables and produce. Paper carry bags have twisted or flat handles and suit lighter purchases, gifts and retail items. Many market stall holders keep both on hand: SOS bags for heavy loads, carry bags for general retail sales.
Do you ship packaging to market stalls across Australia?
Yes. QIS Packaging ships to all Australian states and territories from our Brisbane warehouse. Same-day dispatch is available on orders placed before the daily cut-off. We recommend ordering at least 3–5 business days before a market event for metro areas, and 5–7 days for regional locations. For large or repeat market orders, our team can help you set up a regular delivery schedule.
