What is a potli bag
A potli is a small gathered pouch closed with a drawstring, traditionally used to carry gifts, sweets, jewellery and small valuables. It is a staple of weddings and festivals, and the same shape now sells as a gift pouch, favour bag and boutique packaging format worldwide.
We make potli-style pouches in cotton, plain or embroidered, in sizes from mini jewellery pouches to larger gift bags.
Where buyers use them
Wedding planners and gift shops order potli pouches as favours and return gifts. Jewellery and cosmetics brands use the smaller sizes as packaging. Sweet and dry-fruit sellers use mid-size pouches for festival hampers. Retailers stock them as a ready-to-sell gifting item.
Plain, printed or embroidered
Plain cotton pouches take screen print cleanly for brand names and logos. Embroidered pouches carry stitched motifs such as florals, and give a finished look without extra packaging. Cord colour and length can be matched to your colour scheme; confirm options in the quote.
Printed artwork and embroidery motifs are reproduced as supplied and are never altered.
