Best material: Cotton canvas. The natural texture reads as elegant, not corporate. The 2 Bottle Heavyweight Cotton Canvas tote has the weight and feel of a premium gift bag. Print the couple’s names, date, or a monogram in a single color for a clean, sophisticated look.

Budget option: The 1-Bottle Non-Woven Wine Bag in white, ivory, or burgundy with a simple one-color imprint. At the $0.59-$3.00 tier, you can outfit 200+ guests without a significant budget hit.

Quantity tip: Order one bag per guest, plus 10-15% extra for the head table, bridal party, and vendors. Cotton minimums start at 100, non-woven at 200.

Timing: Order 3-4 weeks before the wedding for cotton, 2-3 weeks for non-woven. Don’t wait — proofs need approval time.

Best for high-volume tastings: Non-woven bags in the largest bottle count you can justify. The 4 Bottle Great American Tote is the sweet spot — big enough for a real tasting haul, cheap enough to give away freely. The 6 Bottle Great American Tote works for serious collectors and club events.

For warm-weather events: Insulated 4 Bottle Wine Tote or Insulated 6 Bottle Tote Bag. Outdoor summer tastings can push temperatures past what wine should endure. Insulated bags protect the purchase and give attendees a reason to keep the bag long after the event.

Quantity tip: For open-to-the-public festivals, order bags equal to your expected foot traffic. For invite-only tastings, order per attendee plus 15% buffer.

For clients and executives: Cotton or insulated bags signal quality. The 2 Bottle Heavyweight Cotton Canvas with your company logo printed in a single color is understated and professional. Pair it with two bottles and a handwritten note.

For employees and team gifts: Non-woven bags work well at scale. The 2 Bottle Sundowner Wine Bag is sized right for a standard two-bottle gift and available in 20+ colors to match your brand palette. At the $0.59-$3.00 tier, you can outfit an entire department without exceeding the gift budget.

For holiday gifting at scale: If you’re sending 500+ wine gifts to clients, non-woven at volume gives you the best cost-per-unit. Print your logo on one side and a holiday message on the other.

Quantity tip: Corporate gift orders are often in the 100-500 range. Cotton minimums at 100 and non-woven at 200 make both materials accessible for this use case.

For auction items: Use a cotton or laminated bag to elevate the perceived value of the donated wine. A well-designed bag makes a $30 bottle look like a $50 gift. Print the organization’s logo or the event name and date.

For table gifts: Non-woven single-bottle bags in the event’s color scheme. Low cost, high impact when 200+ guests each take one home.

For sponsors: Offer branded wine bags as part of sponsorship packages. The sponsor’s logo goes on the bag, the organization benefits from the donated product, and every attendee walks out with both brands visible.

Keep it simple. One-color imprints look the most elegant for events. Two colors maximum. Save the four-color printing for retail and promotional use.

Include the date. For weddings and one-time events, printing the event date on the bag turns it into a keepsake rather than just packaging.

Match the bag color to the event. Non-woven bags come in 15-25+ stock colors. Choose a base color that matches your event palette and print in a contrasting color for visibility.

Get your proof early. Every order includes a free proof. Submit your artwork as soon as possible so you have time for revisions before the event date forces a deadline.
