Favor Bags for Cookies

Where to buy and what size favor bags do you need for cookies?

I've been asked this question many times, so thought I'd share.

I purchase my favor bags at Gifts International.  The prices are great, but the shipping is a bit high so order a lot at a time!

My bags are organized in plastic shoe bins, by size.

Some of my bagged cookies.....

I WISH that I could purchase 4" x 8" bags!  The 4" x 6" are often too short so I have to move up to a 5" wide bag.  I  really want 4x8ers!

 If you know of somewhere to purchase bags of that size, please let me know in the comments!

Questions for you: Let me know in the comments. 
Where do you purchase your favor bags?

Tutorial - How to Ship Sugar Cookies

 Tutorial - How to Pack Cookies for Shipping

Shipping sugar cookies is possible when they're packed well!  I was terrified of shipping and resisted for quite some time.  To expand my business, I finally decided to give it a try.

Thankfully I have two cookie friends, Amy and Cindy, that answered my questions and encouraged me!

*knock on wood* I've had great success with cookies arriving to my customers intact.

Tutorial - How to Package Sugar Cookies for Shipping

How to Bag Sugar Cookies for Shipping

All of my cookies from orders are either bagged (for shipping or local pick up) or placed on a platter (for pick up).

All of my bagged cookies are heat-sealed

I use a 12" Impulse Heat Sealer with cutter.

Would you like to learn how I bag my cookies for shipping?

I NEVER tie the ribbon prior to shipping!

I'm now offering Online Live Video Classes!  I'll explain exactly how I bag my cookies for shipping - and tell you  why I don't tie the bags.  (Not tying bags was a huge game changer for me!)

Tutorial - How to Cut Ribbon Quickly and Package Sugar Cookie Favors

How To Cut Ribbon Quickly

How to Package Sugar Cookie Favors for Local Pick Up/Delivery

I use curling ribbon to tie my cookie favor bags.  I can't believe that I used to put down a ruler and measure out every single ribbon.  That can take a long time when you need 100 or more pieces of ribbon!

One day, I finally got smart about it.  It now takes less than a minute to cut that much ribbon.

I bag my cookies, heat-seal them, then tie ribbon.

If the cookies are for local pick up (or if you deliver) , place the favors into a 10" x 10" cake box from BRP Box Shop.  Their boxes are really nice and sturdy.

 If the cookies are to be shipped, I bag them differently.   More info here.

Washington, DC Sugar Cookies

Wedding Sugar Cookies with Royal Icing - Washington, DC monuments and Cherry Blossoms

This spring has been the season for my DC cookies!  So many DC weddings in the last two months!

The Capitol, White House, and Cherry Blossom Trees.

This set included the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument.

These were put into individual favor bags to be included in a welcome box for hotel guests.

And this set included the Jefferson Memorial and pandas.

I've made pandas for many weddings.  I've also made them for many kids' birthday parties.  I've put little pink bows on their heads for little girl parties.  Never before have I made them with bow ties for a wedding!  I am in love with these little guys.  It was at my customer's suggestion to add the black bow ties.  She wanted to give a dozen of these to the groom.  I hope to make more tuxedo pandas!

Frozen Sugar Cookies

Sugar Cookies with Royal Icing - Frozen's Olaf and Snowflakes

I don't sell cookie designs based on copyrighted/trademarked characters.   These, however, weren't for sale.  I made these for my cousin's daughter.

Olaf and snowflakes.

I really love the message cookie.  So wintery and fits the theme well.

My cousin made some tags and bagged the cookies up for Kayla's friends.
