Retail cosmetic pouch for independent brand

Custom cosmetic bag

Cosmetic bag 

Vibrant screen print on personalised custom cosmetic pouch. This layered print effect offers a fun style to a simple zipped cosmetic pouch or make-up bag. Matching the colour of the green print on the bag to the zip offers this bag a tidy and complete finish. This personalised cosmetic pouch could include a scotch guard waterproofing treatment to keep it dry in a bathroom or to protect from spillages. Without it, it can be repeatedly washed on a cold wash to keep it clean.

To personalise this custom cosmetic bag further, a printed lining could be included. A woven logo label could be sewn into the external side of the bag or on the inside hem. Badges and buttons can be added or a wrist strap for hand carry.

Simple prints on custom cosmetic bags are great for independent brands expanding their portfolio or using them as packaging for beauty products. Minimum order quantities start at 250 for custom cosmetic bags.

Custom cosmetic bag sizes

Not limited to a specific size, a custom made cosmetic bag can be cut to any size to suit it's purpose. Manufacturing a bespoke cosmetic pouch means that you can make it any size and portrait or landscape orientation to suit its purpose. The size of the zipped pouch can be increased to include wider side panels and a larger base for greater capacity.

Lining a customised cosmetic bag

Adding a lining to a cosmetic bag can include fabric the same as the body of the bag or a lighter weight. It can also be plain or printed. The lining can be in a different fabric such as a wipe clean PVC. The lining could serve as compartments inside of the bag for keeping the contents separate or internal pockets.

Fabric options for a bespoke cosmetic bag

Cotton is a popular choice for cosmetic bags. It comes in many forms such as recycled cotton, both pre-consumer and post-consumer waste and Fairtrade organic cotton are sustainable cotton choices. Cotton weights are measured in ounces or gsm and this applies to standard cotton or other greener cotton options.

Not limited to cotton, we work in a variety of fabrics including synthetics such as PVC or PU leather. Jute, bamboo and hemp are environmentally friendly options. Denim, non-woven PP, RPET for bags and polyester are all options to consider when working out what the bag you are making will be used for. Each of these fabrics have pros and cons associated with them, so it's a question we ask at the beginning of your bag project, so we can make sensible recommendations based on the bag purpose and your budget.

Pantone matching a bespoke cosmetic zipped pouch is possible by dying the fabric prior to construction or overprinting. We supply colour swatches prior to full production to ensure you select the right colour to suit the rest of your product portfolio or brand guidelines.

Straps and handles for custom made cosmetic bags

The length of a strap can be customised to suit the objective of the bag. Cosmetic bags favour wrist straps which are short handles for hand carry.

The handles on the bag can be made from a number of fabrics to suit the style of the tote bag. Leather handles or vegan leather (PU leather) can be added for a premium finish to the bag. Cotton webbed handles in contrast colours, stripes or overprinted is possible. Other suggestions for custom handles on bags include overprinted cotton or a rope.

Decoration of a bespoke cosmetic bag

Logo printing on a bag doesn't need to be limited to the centre of the bag. There are multiple print options and choosing the right one will be determined by the artwork you want to print on the bag. Other decoration options include embroidery and applique. It's also possible to print all over the panels of a bespoke cosmetic bag, on the handles and on the inside of the bag or on the lining. Other decoration options include badges and labels.

Closing a cosmetic bag

Popular options for closing a custom cosmetic bag include a zip at the top that runs from one end of the width of the bag to the other. The colour of zip can be metal gold, antique brass, rose gold or silver. Other options include coloured plastic zips. The zip tape can vary in colour and an array of stock colours are available or the zip tape can be Pantone matched to the fabric or print of the bag.

Metal poppers, draw cord closures and flaps with poppers to securely keep the flap down is possible, as are metal or plastic buckles or velcro.

Labels for cosmetic pouches

Adding a label to a zipped pouch can offer a variety of branding opportunities. Fabric labels can be woven or printed and sewn in various external or internal hems on the side or over the top of the tote bag. PU leather badges or leather labels can be debossed or embossed and be sewn in on the panels of the bag, the straps or pockets.

Metal badges or labels can be branded and attached at any place on the bag. Colours range from metallic colours to overpainted Pantone matched metal.

Accessorising your bespoke cosmetic pouch

Pantone matched trim, piping and thread are tiny details that can make a big impact on your customised tote bag. For a truly bespoke cosmetic bag, the detail can be tailored to include matching the colour of the thread to the print in the logo or internal taped seams for a precise and neat finish will give your bag the edge over your competitor's bag.
