Which kids' bag should you choose?
The range is small and each bag does a different job, so the choice is usually quick. The table sets out what each product page states.
| Bag | What the product page lists | Colours | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| YumYum Kids Insulated Lunch Bag AVANTI | Insulated, BPA free and food safe leak-proof lining, double zip, name and address label, bottle holder, ice brick holder, carry handle | Several designs and colours, including Building Blocks, Dinosaur and two camo prints | Childcare centres, school canteens, welcome gifts |
| YumYum Kids Insulated Lunch Bag 3D AVANTI | Same features as the flat version, in a 3D shape | Two designs, including Surfing Sharkie | Programs that want a character bag |
| Kids Ashara Drawstring Bag | 100% recycled cotton, 120 g/m2, self-closing cotton strings, carries up to 4 kg | Red, green, blue, natural | Events, sports days, swimming and library bags |
| Rider Kids Kids' 600d Polyester Rucksack | 600d polyester | Nine, from apple green and black to fuchsia and sky blue | School programs and clubs that want a proper backpack |
For a large handout, the drawstring bag is the one to pick, because the flat cotton surface takes a logo cleanly and it holds a lot more than its 50 g weight suggests. If you want something that stays in a child's daily routine, the lunch bag gets opened every school day. For a wider choice of carry bags, see our drawstring bags, lunch bags and backpacks.
How can you brand a kids' bag?
The usual choices depend on the bag, and the artwork team confirms the final method on your proof.
- On the cotton drawstring bag, screen printing is the one we'd recommend for a one or two colour logo, because it lasts and gets cheaper per bag as the quantity grows.
- For a colourful character, a gradient or a photo, DTF transfers keep the detail, which a screen print would need a separate setup for each colour to match.
- On the rucksack, embroidery gives a stitched logo that suits a school or club crest. Fine detail and very small text don't stitch well, so keep the design bold.
All four product pages offer one, two or three decoration positions. The proof shows where the logo sits against the zip, handle and strings before anything is made.
Ordering kids' bags
There's no minimum, so a childcare centre can order a dozen lunch bags. Each order carries a one-off setup for the logo, which is why per-bag cost falls as the quantity rises. You'll get a free digital proof first, and we only start production once you approve it. Colours of the same bag can be mixed in one order and still count together toward quantity pricing. Freight is quoted separately, and some stocked orders can be ready the same day. Your quote confirms the timing.
Who buys branded kids' bags?
Schools and childcare centres give a bag to every new enrolment, and a lunch bag or backpack gets carried most school days, so the logo goes home and is seen by the whole family. Clubs hand out drawstring bags at registration or presentation day. At family events and fun runs, the bag carries the rest of the giveaways, which moves the logo around the venue. For onboarding or enrolment packs that combine a bag with a bottle, cap and notebook, our kitting service packs them together.
Tell us the age group when you ask for a quote. Some items, add-ons and small parts need checking for younger children, and we can go through that with you.

If the bag will be used for sport, look at sports bags. For a plain, natural look at a larger scale, calico bags work well for school fairs and fundraisers.

Frequently asked questions
What's the best way to print a logo on a kids' drawstring bag?
Screen printing is the usual choice for a one or two colour logo on the Kids Ashara Drawstring Bag, because the ink sits on a flat cotton surface and lasts. If your design has a character, gradient or several colours, a DTF transfer holds the detail. The proof shows the method and logo size before production.
Can you brand an insulated kids' lunch bag?
Yes, both YumYum lunch bag pages offer one, two or three decoration positions. The zip, handle and bottle holder limit the space, so the proof matters: it shows where the logo sits against them. For a lined, shaped bag like this, the artwork team picks the method that suits the surface and your artwork.
Should I embroider or print a kids' rucksack?
Embroidery is the usual choice for a rucksack such as the Rider Kids 600d polyester, because a stitched logo wears well and looks like a school crest. It suits bold shapes, not fine text. For a full-colour character or small run, a DTF transfer is the alternative. The proof shows both options if you can't decide.
What artwork file do I need for a kids' bag?
A vector file (AI, EPS, SVG or vector PDF) with fonts outlined is best, and it's required for screen print and embroidery digitising. For a full-colour DTF design, a PNG, JPG or TIFF at 300 dpi at actual size is enough. If you only have a logo copied from a website, our artwork team can redraw it.
Is there a minimum order for custom kids' bags?
No, there's no minimum on any of the kids' bags, so a small childcare centre can order a dozen lunch bags. Each order has a one-off logo setup, which is why the cost per bag drops noticeably from around 10 bags. Your quote shows the quantity breaks for the bag and decoration you choose.
Can I mix colours or designs in one kids' bag order?
Yes. You can mix colours of the same bag and the whole order still counts toward quantity pricing. That matters for the Rider Kids rucksack, which comes in nine colours, and the YumYum lunch bags, which come in several designs. Light colours share one logo version and dark colours another, and the proof shows each.
What should I check on a sample of a kids' bag?
Check the zips, the stitching on handles and straps, and the lining on a lunch bag, since kids use these daily. We can supply an undecorated sample to test, and the sample cost is confirmed with your quote and credited back if you order. You can also see products at our Annandale showroom by arrangement.
Are the kids' lunch bags food safe?
The YumYum lunch bag pages list a BPA free, food safe and leak-proof lining. We don't make further safety claims beyond the product page. If the bags are for very young children or you need a specific standard confirmed, tell us the age group and use when you enquire so the team can check before you order.
Is the kids' drawstring bag made from recycled material?
The Kids Ashara Drawstring Bag page lists 100% recycled cotton at 120 g/m2, with an eco label on one side. No certification is named on the page, so we don't claim one. A 120 g/m2 cotton is a light weight, and the page gives a carrying capacity of up to 4 kg.
