Goodie Bags

Printable Goodie Bags for Every Party Theme

A party bag is two things: a bag, and the thing that makes it look like a party favor. We sell the second part. Buy the design, print it at home on card, cut it out and stick it on a plain 5.5" x 8.5" paper bag — the kind that costs pennies in any office-supply shop. The whole set is an instant download, so you could be printing tonight.

Character themes, not blank templates

The free printable bag templates you find elsewhere are blank — a shape you fold, with nothing on it. Ours are finished artwork in 20 character themes: Pokemon, Paw Patrol, Bluey, Trolls, Stranger Things, Baby Shark, Hello Kitty, Toy Story, Moana, My Little Pony and more. And each set holds several different designs, so a Pokemon party gets Pikachu on one bag, Charmander on the next, and nobody goes home with a duplicate. Toy Story is the biggest set at 20 bag fronts; Baby Shark has 12 and Trolls 11.

How to make a goodie bag out of a plain paper bag

It is a ten-minute job and needs no craft skill. Buy plain 5.5" x 8.5" paper party bags. Print the file on white card stock, 65 lb or heavier — copy paper goes floppy and the colours sink into it. Print at 100% / Actual Size and untick "Fit to page", which is the one setting that shrinks the design so it no longer fits the bag. Cut along the border, then fix the front on with double-sided tape or a glue stick. Fill, fold the top over, and punch a hole for a ribbon if you want to tie a thank you tag on.

What to put in the bag

A useful rule: two small things and one sweet per bag. It looks generous, it survives the car journey home, and it keeps the cost per guest sensible. Stickers, a bouncy ball, a small figure, a pencil or eraser, a few sweets in the theme colour. The printed front is what makes it read as a party favor rather than a paper bag with sweets in it — so spend your money on the bag front and keep the fillers cheap.

Want their name on it?

Every set can be personalized. Choose Customize product on the product page, send us the name, the age or a message, and our designer builds it into the artwork and emails you the finished print-ready file within 24 hours — or within 2 hours if you add Rush order. That is the bit the big party shops cannot do.

Finish the party

Tie a matching printable thank you tag to each bag, staple a treat bag topper across a cellophane one, and label the drinks with water bottle labels. Add a cake topper personalized with the birthday name and age, or start at the beginning with the birthday invitations. Everything is in one place on our printable party favors page.
