Branded packaging for gift shops & homewares stores

In gift retail, the bag is part of the gift: make it say something about your store.

The bag is part of the gift

When a customer leaves your gift shop with a beautifully branded carry bag, that bag travels through the street, into the home and often gets kept and reused: free, organic brand exposure every time it's seen. Custom printed bags are one of the lowest cost-per-impression marketing tools available to gift retailers. QIS Packaging prints your logo on white or kraft carry bags in 1-2 colours. Contact our team to discuss minimum quantities and lead times before peak seasons.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions from Australian gift shops, homewares retailers and boutique stores.

What bags do gift shops and homewares stores typically use?
The most common packaging in gift shops and homewares stores includes white paper twist handle bags for customer carry bags, cellophane bags for wrapping or displaying individual gift items, and flat paper bags for cards, prints and flat goods. For premium gifting occasions, custom printed bags with the store's logo are popular for elevating presentation and building brand recognition.
What is the difference between cellophane bags and paper bags for gift shops?
Cellophane bags are transparent: ideal for presenting chocolates, candles, soaps and decorative items on a shelf or in a gift hamper where the product itself draws the eye. Paper carry bags are opaque and create a classic gift bag for customers to take home. Many gift shops use both: cellophane for individual gift wrapping and product display, paper carry bags for the final handover at the counter.
Do you have coloured paper bags for gift shops?
Yes. QIS Packaging stocks colour paper carry bags suitable for gift retail: ideal for themed seasons like Christmas, Valentine's Day and Mother's Day when a plain white or brown bag isn't on brand. We also offer a full range of custom printed bags where you can add your own logo and colour scheme to white or kraft base bags for a unique look year-round.
Can I get custom printed bags for my gift shop?
Yes. Custom printed carry bags are one of the most effective tools in gift retail. A beautifully branded bag is part of the gifting experience and encourages customers to remember where they bought from. QIS Packaging offers custom printing in 1-2 colours on white and kraft paper carry bags. Contact our team for minimum quantities and lead times. Plan ahead for Christmas and other peak gifting seasons.
What packaging is best for wrapping fragile or breakable homewares?
For fragile homewares, the most common retail approach is to wrap individually in tissue paper or newsprint first, then place in a sturdy carry bag. Our kraft carry bags and brown kraft carry bags provide a strong outer layer for in-store handover. For homewares sold online, courier satchels or padded mailers provide the protective transit packaging needed to arrive safely.
How quickly will my gift shop packaging arrive?
Orders placed before 12pm Monday to Friday are dispatched the same day from our Brisbane warehouse. Metro areas typically receive delivery within 1-3 business days; regional and rural areas 3-7 business days. We deliver Australia-wide. If you have a seasonal rush. Plan orders for Christmas, Mother's Day and Valentine's Day. Order early to ensure stock arrives in time.
