Who Uses Our Custom Printed Bags?
Our printed polypropylene bags are used by a wide range of businesses and sole traders across the UK. Here are the most common applications — if yours isn't listed, get in touch and we'll confirm suitability.
Confectionery & Sweet Makers
Artisan sweet makers, confectionery manufacturers and market stall traders use our printed sweet bags and lolly bags to display their products professionally and meet UK food labelling requirements. Print your logo, ingredients, allergens and batch codes directly onto the bag — no separate labels needed. With MOQs from just 1,000 bags, it's accessible for small producers as well as large manufacturers.
Wax Melt & Candle Businesses
Our printed wax melt bags are a popular choice for independent wax melt makers and candle brands. The polypropylene film is heat-sealable, provides excellent product visibility, and takes print cleanly for sharp branding. Print your brand name, fragrance details, usage instructions and safety information in up to 3 colours. One of the lowest MOQs available in the UK for custom printed wax melt packaging.
Bakeries & Cake Makers
Bakeries, cake pop makers and artisan bakers use our printed bags for branded presentation at farmers markets, cafes and online orders. Print your business name and contact details on cake pop bags, cookie bags and treat bags — turning simple packaging into a marketing tool at no extra cost per bag at volume.
Wedding & Event Planners
Custom printed bags for wedding favours, corporate event gifts and party bags. Print your names, date, logo or personalised message. Minimum order of 1,000 makes this cost-effective for larger events, and our 7–10 working day lead time gives plenty of planning time.
Market Traders & Craft Sellers
Market stall holders and craft fair sellers use our display bags to add a professional, branded finish to their products. A printed bag with your business name and logo turns a product into a brand — and keeps your details in customers' hands after they've left your stall.
Food Manufacturers & Ingredient Packers
For businesses packing ingredients, spices, dried goods or food products, our food-grade printed polypropylene bags provide a compliant, cost-effective packaging solution. Print ingredients lists, nutritional tables, allergen warnings and batch codes to meet UK food labelling regulations. We can also generate barcodes for you if required.

FAQs
Are these real cellophane bags?

Our minimum order is 1,000 bags — one of the lowest MOQs in the UK for printed food-grade packaging.
Can you print on both sides?
Yes — we can print on the front and back of the bag.
How many colours can I use?
Up to 3 colours per design. Available colours include black, white, red, green, blue, metallic silver and metallic gold.
Can you help with artwork and barcodes?
Absolutely. We can create layouts from your text and generate unique barcode numbers if needed.
Can I buy unprinted bags while I wait for my printed order?
Yes — our clear cello bags are the same food-grade polypropylene and available to buy now in packs of 50 or bulk boxes.
