Gift Packaging Co.
Paper gift bags · Factory direct since 2009
We print, laminate, foil and hand-finish paper gift bags for retail and corporate brands in 40+ countries. Low minimums, honest lead times, and a real bag in your hands before you commit to a run.
Once on the finishing line, then again at AQL 2.5 before the cartons are sealed. Photos of your actual production go out before it ships.
What we make
Every format below is tooled and running in our factory today. If your size sits between two of them, we cut a new die at no charge on orders over 3,000 pieces.

Why brands move their bag programme here
Most packaging sites you'll compare us against are trading companies. That's fine until something goes wrong on press. Our presses, die-cutters, foil stampers and hand-finishing lines are all under one roof in Dongguan — so when a Pantone drifts or a ribbon shade is off, we stop the line ourselves.
Printing & finishing
Foil, emboss, spot UV and coating are all done in-house, so a second pass adds a day — not a subcontractor.

What clients say
“We'd been through two suppliers who both promised 14 days and delivered in 30. Cloubay has hit the date on all five runs so far, and they flag problems before I find them.”

“The sample was the thing. Getting a real bag in my hand a week after the first email is what made the decision easy — the price was competitive but not the cheapest.”

“They talked us out of soft-touch lamination on a recycled brief because it would have killed the recyclability claim. That cost them margin and won them the account.”
