How-to guide
How to choose the right gift bag size
A gift bag that fits the gift looks deliberate; one that is too big or small looks careless.
Quick answer
Measure the gift box (width × height × depth) and choose a bag about 2–3 cm wider and deeper than the box, with enough height that the top of the box sits below the bag's opening.

Step by step
Measure the gift
Measure the boxed gift, or the largest item if gifts vary.
Add clearance
Add 2–3 cm to the width and depth so the box slides in easily.
Check the height
The bag should be taller than the box so tissue paper can cover it.
Choose a gusset
Boxed gifts need a gusset deep enough for the box.
Tips
- Order two sizes if gift hampers vary
- Rope handles and a base board help with heavy gifts
Mistakes to avoid
- Ordering bags before the gift box size is final
