Why You Won’t See Prices on Our Custom Bags (And Why That’s a Good Thing)

When shopping around for custom branded merchandise, price is one of the first questions most people ask – and rightly so. If you’re browsing Rocket Bags, you might notice something unusual: while we display prices for stock bags, we don’t list prices for our custom-made bags.

And there’s a good reason for that.

Stock vs. Custom: What’s the Difference?

If you’re interested in off-the-shelf branded products – like tote bags, drawstring bags, or laptop sleeves – we make it easy to view base pricing and submit quick enquiries. These bags are pre-manufactured and ready for branding, which means we can offer transparent, fixed pricing based on quantity.

But custom-made bags? That’s a different story.

Custom Bags Are Built Around You

When we create a fully bespoke bag, it’s more like product development than product selection. Everything is tailored:

• Size, material, shape, function
• Branding techniques and print coverage
• Colour matching and Pantone specs
• Hardware, trims, zips, linings, straps
• Freight method, sustainability preferences, and more

There are hundreds of potential variables, which means the price can shift significantly depending on the brief. A recycled canvas backpack with woven branding and hidden compartments is priced very differently from a lightweight RPET drawstring pouch.

Why That’s Actually Good for You

Not listing prices for custom bags isn’t a tactic to hide costs – it’s how we ensure you get:

• A quote tailored to your needs. No paying for features you don’t need.
• Strategic value. Our design-led process helps ensure ROI: bags people actually use, keep, and remember.
• Fair, accurate costing. Once we understand your goals, we quote transparently. No surprise charges.

And importantly, it lets us collaborate with you from the outset. You tell us your vision, timelines, goals, and constraints. We shape something that works.

So, What Happens Instead?

Instead of listing rigid price bands, we offer:

• A no-pressure discovery call
• Complimentary creative development and visuals
• A clear, honest quote based on your brief

This process often surprises people – not because it’s difficult, but because it’s so much easier than chasing fixed-line quotes and generic options. And since we don’t charge for design or sampling at this stage, there’s no downside to exploring what a custom project could look like.
