About wedding & return gift bags

Wedding gift bags include potlis, favour bags, printed jute bags and welcome-kit bags for guests. Wedding planners, families and gifting companies order them in themes and colours matched to the occasion.

Share the function date early — personalised printing and embellishment need time.

About potli bags

Potlis are traditional drawstring pouches used for return gifts, shagun, dry fruits, coins and jewellery. They are made in velvet, brocade, raw silk and jute, often with embroidery, beads or tassels.

Potlis are made in large quantities for weddings and festivals; hand embellishment needs extra production time.
