Custom Printed Bags for Schools & Universities

Schools and universities often need bags that are practical, affordable, and easy to distribute.

A printed tote bag can hold brochures, notebooks, books, gifts, event materials or student welcome items.

The right bag depends on how it will be used. A simple lightweight cotton bag can work well for large student events, while a heavier cotton bag may be better for premium welcome packs, alumni gifts or university merchandise.

Recommended bags for schools and universities

For most education customers, we recommend starting with one of these options:

  • 140 g/m² cotton tote bags – best for open days, fairs and large student events
  • 180–200 g/m² cotton tote bags – best for welcome packs, notebooks and course materials
  • 220 g/m² premium cotton tote bags – best for alumni gifts, staff gifts and university merchandise
  • Drawstring backpacks – best for sports days, school trips, camps and outdoor activities
  • Gusseted cotton bags – best when the bag needs more space for books, folders or gifts

Best bags for schools and universities

Budget-friendly tote bags for large student events

For open days, fairs, student events and larger school projects, 140 g/m² cotton tote bags are a practical and affordable choice. They are lightweight, easy to hand out and suitable for simple logo prints or event messages.

These bags are a good option when you need many bags and want to keep the cost per piece low.

Stronger tote bags for welcome packs and course materials

If the bags need to carry books, folders, notebooks or heavier materials, a stronger cotton bag may be more suitable. 180–220 g/m² tote bags feel more durable and are more likely to be reused after the event.

These are especially useful for university welcome packs, conferences, staff gifts, research events and student programme materials.

Drawstring bags for sports, camps and active student use

Printed drawstring bags are useful for sports days, summer camps, school trips, clubs, outdoor activities and student events where the bag should be easy to carry.

They work well for younger students, activity-based events and informal university or school projects.

Premium bags for university merchandise

If the bag will be sold, gifted to alumni or used as official university merchandise, a heavier cotton tote bag can give a more professional result. Premium bags feel stronger and more valuable, which makes them better suited for long-term brand visibility.

What can be printed on the bags?

You can print your school logo, university logo, department name, student organisation logo, event title, campaign message, sponsor logos or custom illustration.

Simple one-colour prints are often cost-effective for larger quantities. Multi-colour or full-colour designs can work well for creative student projects, campaigns and special events.

If you are unsure whether your design is suitable for printing, send us the artwork before ordering. We can check the file and help you choose the right print option.

What should you consider before ordering?

Before choosing bags for a school or university, it helps to know:

  • How many bags you need
  • When the bags must arrive
  • Which country they should be delivered to
  • Whether the bags need to carry books, papers or heavier items
  • Whether the design is one colour or several colours
  • Whether the bags are for students, staff, guests or resale

If you include your design file and deadline when contacting us, we can estimate the most suitable options faster and with more confidence.

Delivery and deadlines

School and university orders often have fixed dates, such as open days, semester starts, conferences or graduation events. Please mention your deadline when ordering or requesting a quote, so we can check which production and delivery options are realistic.

We offer free shipping within the EU. VAT is calculated at checkout. For EU business customers with a valid VAT number, VAT may be reversed at checkout according to applicable VAT rules.

Minimum order quantity

The minimum order is 25 pieces per design. For schools and universities, larger quantities usually give a better price per bag.

Do you need help choosing?

If you are not sure which bag is right for your school, university or student event, send us your design file, quantity, delivery country and deadline. We will help you choose the most suitable custom printed bag.
