How to Choose the Right Gift Bag

Selecting the perfect gift bag involves more than grabbing the first pretty option you see. Consider the following factors to ensure your presentation aligns with your intention and makes the right impression every time!

Get the Proportions Right

Start by considering your gift’s dimensions. After all, a bag that’s too small will bulge unattractively or fail to close properly. In contrast, an oversized bag can make even a generous gift appear insignificant.

So, make sure to measure your gift’s length, width, and height, then add at least two inches to each dimension for a comfortable fit and tissue paper. Remember that oddly shaped items may require going up a size to accommodate their widest points. For multiple small items, consider whether you want them bundled in one bag or presented individually.

Match the Occasion’s Formality

The bag’s style should align with your event’s tone. For example, a child’s birthday party might call for bright, playful designs with cartoon characters or bold patterns. At the same time, a retirement celebration might warrant something more dignified in metallic tones or sophisticated prints.

Additionally, corporate events typically demand neutral, professional packaging (such as our frosted gift bags).

Consider the recipient’s personality too; some people appreciate understated elegance while others love bold, eye-catching designs!

Consider Color Psychology and Preferences

Ultimately, colors play a role in the message and emotions being conveyed. Consider these colors and their meanings when making your selection:

Red suggests passion and excitement, which can be perfect for romantic occasions or energetic celebrations. Blue conveys trust and calm, which may be ideal for professional settings or gifts for baby boys.

Green represents growth and harmony—a great option for eco-conscious recipients or nature lovers.

Gold and silver usually symbolize luxury, celebration, and elegance, making them ideal for holidays or milestone events. Pastels reflect gentleness and new beginnings, such as baby showers, spring events, or thoughtful gestures.

When in doubt, choose colors that align with the recipient’s preferences or the event’s color scheme for a coordinated look.

Quality of the Bag

Before purchasing, take a moment to assess the bag’s construction. High-quality gift bags have reinforced handles—secured with strong adhesive or rivets—to prevent tearing under weight. The base should feel stable and well-supported, ideally reinforced with cardboard or an additional paper layer to securely hold heavier items.

At Hammont, every bag is crafted with these standards in mind. We ensure consistent finishes—matte, glossy, or textured—without printing defects or uneven edges. Handles, whether ribbon, rope, or die-cut paper, are designed for both comfort and durability, so your presentation feels as reliable as it looks. Sustainability and Reusability If you care about making eco-friendly choices, start with your gift packaging.

Choose bags made from recycled materials, FSC-certified papers, or reusable fabrics that reduce waste without sacrificing style. Think beyond the moment of gifting—some recipients love bags they can reuse for storage, regifting, or organizing small items. Thus, fabric pouches, sturdy laminated options, or artistic prints often enjoy a second life, giving your gift lasting value and a touch of thoughtfulness.
