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.

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.
