Size & Quantity

Material

Printing

Worked into the printed face of the board. All four are priced per bag by size and added to the total as you tick them, and each asks where it goes: one pass of the press is the price, and a further pass is priced on the card as you choose it.
The foil print price covers one pass of the press: one design, on the front, on the front and back, or on both side panels. A further pass is charged by size, from ₦675 a bag on the A6 to ₦2,655 on the A1 — which is what a different design on a second face needs, and what going the whole way round the bag needs.
The spot gloss price covers one pass of the press: one design, on the front, on the front and back, or on both side panels. A further pass is charged by size, from ₦405 a bag on the A6 to ₦1,665 on the A1 — which is what a different design on a second face needs, and what going the whole way round the bag needs.
The emboss price covers one pass of the press: one design, on the front, on the front and back, or on both side panels. A further pass is charged by size, from ₦405 a bag on the A6 to ₦1,665 on the A1 — which is what a different design on a second face needs, and what going the whole way round the bag needs.
The deboss price covers one pass of the press: one design, on the front, on the front and back, or on both side panels. A further pass is charged by size, from ₦405 a bag on the A6 to ₦1,665 on the A1 — which is what a different design on a second face needs, and what going the whole way round the bag needs.

Handles

The straps are ours and we have them in every colour — name the one you want and that is the colour your handles come in. The photograph on each card shows what the strap looks like, not the colours it comes in.

Any colour — name it, or give us the one in your logo, and your handles come in it. That goes for all six: the two cords, the three ribbons and the moulded plastic clip. The photographs show what each handle looks like, not the colours we have. Leave it blank and we will choose one to suit the bag.
This strap carries a charge of its own, per bag and by size.

Finishing

All three are priced on the page as you tick them — the window from the size you give, the bow from the ribbon you choose.

Specifications

Product ID PZ-01046
What Goes On It The portrait, the full name and the dates, with a line above — In Loving Memory, Celebration of Life, Forever in our Hearts, Called to Glory, or your own. A scripture, a tribute, the order of service, a family name or a society crest can go on the back and down the side panels. Send the brochure and the bag is matched to it
Sizes X-Small A6 4.1 x 5.8in · Small A5 5.8 x 8.3in · Medium A4 8.5 x 12in · Large A3 12 x 17.5in · X-Large A2 19 x 13in · XX-Large A1 24 x 18in. Custom sizes up to 24 x 18in, priced as the standard bag they fit inside
Orientation Every standard size is cut portrait or landscape — the same two dimensions either way round, at the same price. Portrait suits a standing portrait and a single column of text; landscape suits a wide photograph, two portraits side by side, or a bag that has to take a food pack flat. A custom size needs no choice: the width and height you type are the orientation
Material 300gsm art card as standard, on every size: laminated, so it wipes clean and keeps its shape, printed outside and white inside. Or 250gsm textured card, the luxury board — unlaminated because the grain is the finish, dyed through so the inside is the colour you choose for the outside, ₦1,850 a bag on the A6 up to ₦6,500 on the A2, and not made in the A1
Lamination Art card only. Matte or super gloss at no extra cost. Holographic from ₦400 a bag, Sparkle Sand from ₦600, both priced by size
Print Method Full-colour digital print across the whole bag — photographs, patterns, solid colour edge to edge, as many colours as the design has, and no plate cost. Fewer colours on request. The textured board can also go out unprinted, with an effect as the whole design
Inside of the Bag Art card: white as standard, or printed — a colour, a pattern or your artwork — from ₦400 a bag, priced by size. Textured card: the colour you chose for the outside, included, and not printable
Handles Seven. Glossy twisted cord (the PZIEL standard), cotton braided rope and the plastic clip handle are in the bag price. Satin ribbon from ₦160 a bag plain or ₦480 branded; grosgrain ribbon and polypropylene webbing from ₦240 a bag, also by size; a die-cut handle at the plain satin rate. Webbing is made from the A3 up; the die-cut handle and the plastic clip from the A4 up
Handle Colour Any colour you name, on every handle that has one — both cords, all three ribbons and the moulded plastic clip. The handles are ours and we have them in every colour. The die-cut is the exception, because it is the bag’s own colour. Leave it blank and we choose one to suit the bag and show it on the mock-up
Premium Effect Finish Four, priced per bag by size: foil print in any of ten colours from ₦750 a bag, Spot Gloss from ₦450, Emboss and Deboss from ₦450. Any of them can be a logo, lettering, a pattern or a whole illustration
Where an Effect Goes The price buys one pass of the press: one design, on the front, on the front and back, or on both side panels. Every further pass is charged on top, by the size of the bag and by the effect — a different design on a second face, or covering all four faces at once. Four faces each with their own design is three further passes, and the form prices each of them as you pick it. The same design means the same size and the same position on each face
Effects Together Spot Gloss with an Emboss, or Foil with an Emboss, on one design. Not Foil over a glossed shape — varnish and metal leaf will not share one — and a Deboss goes on its own, with nothing laid over it
Premium Finishes A die-cut window, open from ₦112 a bag or backed with clear film from ₦192, priced by size and cut to the dimensions you give. Eyelets or grommets at the handles, ₦500 a bag on every size. A ribbon bow at the opening — tied by us across the front for the look, or left loose on each side so the bag can be tied shut after packing — in satin or grosgrain, priced like the handle of the same ribbon and the same figure either way
Minimum Order 100 bags per size. Most burials order two sizes — the A4 for the service and the A3 for the reception — as two lines on one invoice
Construction Printed, laminated where the card takes a film, then folded into shape and the handles fitted by hand
Artwork PDF, AI, EPS, CDR, PSD, PNG or JPG — vector prints sharpest, and we say honestly if a file is too small for the size. Design is free: send a logo and the bag is laid out around it, with a mock-up to approve before anything is printed
Production 8–12 working days as standard, 5–7 working days on priority
Delivery 1–3 working days in Lagos, 2–6 working days to other states

The bag everything goes home in — the portrait, the name and the dates across the face, and the programme, the fan and the food pack inside it. Laminated 300gsm art card or unlaminated 250gsm textured, seven handles, full-colour digital print and foil in ten colours, A6 through A1, from a hundred bags. The bag is usually the last thing anyone thinks of, and then the service ends and three hundred people are holding a programme, a hand fan and a wrapped souvenir with nothing to put them in. This is that bag: the portrait, the name and the dates printed across the face — the same artwork as the brochure if you send it — on a laminated carrier that survives the journey home and is kept afterwards. Send the programme, a photograph, or nothing but the name and the dates, and the design is done for you free.

What goes on the bag is the first decision, and for most families it is already settled by the brochure: the portrait large on the front, the name and the dates under it, and one line above — In Loving Memory, Celebration of Life, Forever in our Hearts, Called to Glory. A church or mosque burial committee ordering for a member often takes the portrait on one face and the order of service, a scripture or the family name on the other, so the bag reads from both sides as it is carried out. A hometown association, a union or a company burying a member or a retiree usually wants the society name and crest beside the portrait, and sometimes the year of service. Event planners and funeral directors send the finished brochure and we lift the artwork straight off it, so the bag, the programme and the fan go out as one set rather than three things that nearly match. A year later the same family comes back for the remembrance service and the same bag is printed with the date changed. And some of the quietest work we do here carries no portrait at all — a deep colour, a name in gold foil, and nothing else. Send the brochure, a photograph, or nothing but the name and the dates, and the bag is laid out for you before anything is printed.

Six sizes, and the one you need is decided by what the bag has to carry home. The A6 at 4.1 x 5.8in is the smallest — a memorial card, a small keepsake. The A5 at 5.8 x 8.3in takes the programme and one souvenir. The A4 at 8.5 x 12in is the size most burials take: the brochure, a hand fan, a notepad or a mug and the smaller giveaways together, and it stands up on the table while the packs are being made up. The A3 at 12 x 17.5in is the reception size — food packs, a flask or a covered bowl, a folded wrapper — and it is the one to take if the bag has to hold a plate of rice without slumping. The A2 at 19 x 13in takes aso-ebi, folded clothing and the larger souvenirs, and the A1 at 24 x 18in is the biggest made. Most committees order two sizes on the same invoice: the A4 for everybody at the service, and the A3 for the reception. Each size is its own line with its own minimum of a hundred, and the price per bag falls as the run grows, so a burial expecting five hundred guests pays noticeably less a bag than one expecting a hundred.

Every size is made in the same board — 300gsm art card as standard, laminated so it wipes clean and holds its shape, or a 250gsm textured card where the grain is the finish and the bag is meant to be felt rather than looked at. Printing is full-colour digital across the whole bag, which is what a portrait needs: skin tones, the colour of a gele, a photograph bled to the edge, as many colours as the artwork has and no plate cost. Foil can be pressed over it in any of ten colours — a name, a cross or a crescent, a border, a date — priced per bag by size from ₦750 on the A6 up to ₦2,950 on the A1, and the page adds it to the total as you tick it. The handle is yours to pick from seven, three of them in the bag price: a glossy twisted cord as standard, cotton braided rope on any size, and a plastic clip from the A4 up. A die-cut handle is made from the A4 up, and the two ribbons cost more — satin from ₦160 a bag plain and ₦480 branded, grosgrain from ₦240 and ₦720, both by size. Design is free, a mock-up comes to you before anything is printed, and the price you see covers the material and the printing on it. Burials do not move, so say the date of the service when you order and we will tell you honestly whether the standard window reaches it or whether the job needs priority handling.

Common questions

Order on the high side. A second run is a second set-up and a second production window, so a hundred spare bags cost far less than a hundred reordered ones and arrive in time for the service rather than after it. The price per bag also falls as the run grows, which means the margin is cheaper than it looks: the gap between three hundred and four hundred bags is smaller than a quarter of the three-hundred price. Bags left over are not wasted either — families use them at the thanksgiving service and at the one-year remembrance, and they keep, because they are laminated card rather than nylon.

Yes, and we keep the artwork. Come back with the new date and the bag is reprinted exactly as it was with that line changed, which is usually all anyone wants changed. If the family would rather it read differently — a remembrance line in place of the burial one, a different colour, the portrait moved — that is done free, the same as the first design. The minimum is the same hundred bags per size, and a remembrance service is usually a smaller order than the burial was, so the A4 on its own is often enough.

100 bags per size. Below that the set-up costs more than the bags do, which is why the figure exists — a smaller run can be quoted but it carries an extra cost rather than a lower one.

It is decided by what the bag carries home. A6 (4.1 x 5.8in) for a memorial card or a small keepsake. A5 (5.8 x 8.3in) for the programme and one souvenir. A4 (8.5 x 12in) is the size most burials take — the brochure, a hand fan, a notepad or a mug and the smaller giveaways together. A3 (12 x 17.5in) is the reception bag: food packs, a flask or a covered bowl, a folded wrapper, and it holds a plate of rice without slumping. A2 (19 x 13in) for aso-ebi, folded clothing and the larger souvenirs, and A1 (24 x 18in) is the biggest made. Most committees take two sizes on one invoice: the A4 for everybody at the service, the A3 for the reception. On how many — count the service, not the family, and add a margin; people who were not expected come to a burial, and the price per bag falls as the run grows rather than rising. Each size is then cut portrait or landscape at the same price: portrait for a standing portrait and a column of text, landscape for a wide photograph, two portraits side by side, or a bag that has to take a food pack flat.

At the service: the order of service, a hand fan, and whichever souvenir the family chose — a jotter, a notepad, a mug, a face towel, a small flask. At the reception: the food pack, a bottle or a drink, and sometimes a wrapper. The A4 holds the first comfortably and the A3 holds the second, which is why most burials order both. One thing worth saying plainly: this is a laminated 300gsm card bag with a knotted or clipped handle, so it takes weight — but a food pack that is still hot will steam inside any paper bag, so the packs go in closed and the bag is better filled at the table than carried about the compound beforehand.

Yes. Pick Custom Size from the sizes and type the width and height you need, up to 24 x 18in. The price works itself out on the page as you type: a custom bag is charged as the smallest standard size it fits inside, so a bag a little under the A3 in width, in height or in both — but bigger than the A4 — is an A3, and nothing is rounded up further than it has to be. Your own dimensions are what appear on the price breakdown, with the size you are being charged as beside them. Anything larger than the A1 is quoted separately.

On the 300gsm art card, yes. The outside is printed and the inside stays its natural white unless you print that too, and the inner face can carry a colour, a pattern or your artwork — pick Printed Inside on the form. It is what makes a bag photograph well open, and what a boutique takes when the pattern inside is part of the brand. It is priced by size, from ₦400 a bag on the A6 up to ₦3,850 on the A1, because a bigger bag is more inner face to cover. The 250gsm textured card is a different answer: that board cannot be printed inside, and it does not need to be — it is dyed all the way through, so the inside comes out in the same colour you choose for the outside, at no extra cost, which is most of the reason to choose it. If the inside has to carry a pattern, take the art card.

It is the dearer of the two boards, priced per size: at a hundred bags a textured bag is ₦1,850 on the A6, ₦2,985 on the A5, ₦3,900 on the A4, ₦5,500 on the A3 and ₦6,500 on the A2 — against ₦850 to ₦3,885 for the same sizes in art card. The A1 is not made in it: that size is art card only, and the textured card disappears from the form when the A1 is chosen. What the difference buys is a board dyed all the way through, so the inside of the bag comes out in the same colour as the outside with nothing printed in there, and a grain you can feel rather than a film you can see — it goes out unlaminated, because the texture is the finish. The board still gets cheaper per bag the more you order, and the breakdown shows the figure for the order you are building.

This is the art card’s question — the 250gsm textured board is sold unlaminated, because the grain is its finish. On the art card, matte and super gloss are both included: matte does not look laminated at all — no shine, so it reads as plain uncoated stock, and you only know the film is there by the feel and by water sitting on it rather than soaking in, super gloss is the mirror finish: a high shine that throws the light back, colours brighter and more vivid, and the film resists scratches, dirt and damp. Holographic adds ₦400 to ₦3,000 depending on the size — a rainbow shift across the whole surface that moves as it is turned. Sparkle Sand adds ₦600 to ₦7,000 depending on the size. It is a fine sand grain that catches the light like a silver chain, it is the heaviest of the films so it stiffens the stock and reads a weight thicker than it is, and it is scratch resistant — something handled every day still looks new months later. The one thing to know about Sparkle Sand is that it needs a colour under it. On a white background there is nothing for the grain to catch and the effect is largely wasted; on deep, solid colours it comes alive, and on black it is the best it ever looks. We will say so before printing if the artwork is mostly white.

Yes. Each size is its own line with its own minimum of 100, so an order of 100 A4 and 100 A3 is two lines on the same invoice. Ordering several products together also attracts up to 5% off.

Yes, and it is the usual way this is done. Send the brochure — the print-ready file if you have it, or the one your printer sent you — and the portrait, the colours, the lettering and the dates are lifted off it, so the bag, the programme, the fan and the notepad go out as one set rather than four things that nearly match. If the brochure is being printed elsewhere, send us the same artwork you sent them. If nothing is designed yet, send a photograph of the deceased, the full name, the dates and the line you want above it and the bag is laid out around them. Design costs nothing either way, you see a mock-up before anything is printed, and nothing goes on the press until you have approved it — we would rather hold the job a day than get a name or a date wrong on this of all products.

Yes, and on as many of them as you like for the one price, as long as it is the same artwork each time: the foil charge buys a die, and the same die presses the front, the back and both side panels at no extra cost. Pick where it goes under Premium Effect Finish once Foil Print is ticked. What costs more is a second PASS of the press. You reach one of two ways: by wanting a different artwork on a second face — a logo on the front and something else on the back — or by foiling all four faces at once, which is a second pass even when the artwork is the same throughout. Either of those is one more pass, priced by the size of the bag: ₦675 a bag on the A6 up to ₦2,655 on the A1. Send both files and tell us which belongs on which face. One thing to be clear about: the same artwork means the same design at the same size in the same position on each face. Your company name large across the front and that same name small and repeated down the side panels is two artworks, not one, because it is two dies and two passes to make — so it is priced as two. Four faces each carrying their own artwork is the far end of this: four dies and four passes, so the foil price plus three further passes — ₦2,775 a bag on the A6 up to ₦10,915 on the A1.

Yes — tick Foil Print under Premium Effect Finish, and the page prices it as you do: ₦750 a bag on the A6, ₦1,050 on the A5, ₦1,400 on the A4, ₦1,850 on the A3, ₦2,100 on the A2 and ₦2,950 on the A1. Every bag is full-colour digital print, which is where the artwork is the point: a pattern, a photograph, solid colour edge to edge. A foil pressed over that artwork picks one thing out in metal — the name, the dates, a cross or a crescent, a border around the portrait — and on a quiet design, one deep colour with the name in gold, it is the most dignified bag we make. The foil comes in ten colours: gold and silver are the usual pair, but copper on a cream bag and black on a pale one both look better than they sound.

Seven, and three of them are in the bag price: the glossy twisted cord, the cotton braided rope and the plastic clip. The ribbons cost extra and two handles have a size rule, which the form applies as you choose a size — so what you are offered is always what can actually be made. The glossy twisted cord is the standard and the one most of these bags go out with: a cord with a sheen on it that picks up the lamination. Cotton braided rope is the same shape without the shine — soft, matte and the sturdiest of the two, so it is the one for a bag with weight in it. Then three flat straps — satin is the softest and the one customers keep, grosgrain has a fine rib so it does not crease where it is tied, and polypropylene webbing is the strongest, which is what to take for shoes, bottles or a loaded hamper. The die-cut handle is the odd one out: no strap at all, just the handle cut out of the top of the bag with the rim folded back and glued, which is the one to take when the bag should look minimal. It is made from the A4 up — the hole is cut in the card itself, and a bag smaller than that has too little face above the opening to fold back into a rim that will hold. The three flat straps can also be printed with your logo running along the strap, and eyelets — metal rings in the holes the handle threads through — can go on any handle except the die-cut, at ₦500 a bag on every size, added to the total as you tick them. On colour: name the shade and your handles come in it. That is all six of them — the two cords, the three ribbons and the moulded plastic clip, which is moulded to order rather than picked off a shelf. You are not choosing from a list: the handles are ours and we have them in every colour, and the photographs on the cards show what each one looks like rather than the colours it comes in, so a brand colour that is in none of the pictures is still yours. Only the die-cut has no colour of its own, because it is the bag. Leave the colour box empty and we choose one to suit the bag and show it to you on the mock-up.

Often, and we will tell you honestly before you pay rather than after. Standard production is 8–12 working days, and priority handling is 5–7 working days where there is capacity, which carries a priority fee. The A1 is the exception — the biggest bag and a slower job at every stage — at 12–17 working days standard and 8–12 on priority. Delivery is 1–3 working days in Lagos and 2–6 to other states on top. Both windows are counted from the day the artwork is approved, not the day you order, so the single thing that decides whether a date is reachable is how quickly the mock-up comes back approved. Put the date of the service in the notes when you order. If the standard window does not reach it we will say so and offer priority; if priority does not reach it either, we will say that too.
