Which bag for which shop
Most shops hand out the same bag all year and simply order more of it for Sankranti. If you want something special for the festival, these are the bags shops choose, with today’s rates:
Most orderedPrinted D-cut bags
Clothing, readymade, footwear and mobile shops The everyday Sankranti bag, and our most economical printed bag: your shop name in one bold colour on white, red, green or ivory fabric. ₹240 – ₹260 per kg Minimum 10 kg
Digital D-cut bags
Showrooms that want photos at a D-cut price Full colour print on a D-cut bag, so a festive photo, a family shopping scene or fine Telugu lettering comes out clearly. 13 × 19 and 16 × 19 inch. ₹265 – ₹310 per kg Minimum 50 kg per size
Digital stitched bags with side patty
Saree, silk and family showrooms A stitched bag with a side patty stands on its own and holds a folded saree or a gift box flat. Full colour digital print on 110 GSM fabric. ₹13 – ₹30.50 per bag Minimum 1,000 bags
Most premiumBOPP laminated handle bags
Jewellery and premium showrooms Glossy BOPP film over a full colour print, with a sewn loop handle. Bright rangoli-style patterns look their best here, and the bag gets reused for months. ₹17 per bag
Two-colour handle bags
Family shopping malls and textile shops A loop handle bag printed in two colours, such as a red shop name with a green contact strip, with the handle colour matched to your brand. ₹260 – ₹280 per kg Minimum 10 kgRates depend on the size and on the value of your whole order, and are before GST and freight. Every bag is printed with your shop name in Telugu, English or both. The full catalog has every size and photos of bags we have made for other shops.
What last Sankranti season looked like
The D-cut bag is the workhorse of the season: it is light, cheap per bag and prints a shop name boldly. Shops that sell sarees and silks, or want their bag to be noticed on the street, move up to a stitched bag with a side patty or a BOPP laminated bag.
Design ideas that work at Sankranti
- Your name, big and clear. Customers carry your bag through the busiest market days of the year. A bold shop name is seen across the street; the phone number and address can be smaller.
- Bright fabric with one strong ink colour. On a D-cut bag, a red or green fabric with your name printed in one colour stands out in a crowd, at the price of an ordinary printed bag.
- Festive art needs full colour. Kites, rangoli patterns, a family shopping scene or a model in a silk saree need digital printing. Choose a digital D-cut, a digital stitched bag or a BOPP bag.
- A greeting, kept small. “సంక్రాంతి శుభాకాంక్షలు” in a corner says it is the festival without taking over the bag.
How many bags to order
Look at how many bags you used last Sankranti and in the weeks before it, from your stock book or your last order, and order a little more if your sales have grown. If this is your first printed bag, tell us roughly how many customers you serve on a busy day and we will suggest a quantity. Printed D-cut and handle bags are sold by the kilo, so we will also tell you about how many bags a kilo gives in your size.
Ordering a little more can cost less: the value of your whole order decides the rate per kg, and our price-per-kg guide shows how.
