Jute and Cotton Bags Manufacturer for UK Buyers
Bags of Bengal makes jute, cotton, juco and canvas bags in Kolkata for importers, retailers and promotional product companies. This page is for buyers in the UK. It explains what we can show you, how we ship and how to start an order.
What UK buyers often ask for
Retailers and promotional product companies often ask suppliers for the same four things before they approve an order. Here is what we can show for each.
- Ethical audit evidence: a 4-Pillar SMETA audit by DQS CFS GmbH, carried out on 22 September 2025. Read about SEDEX audited bag manufacturing.
- Chemical safety: OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certification for bags from 100% jute or 100% cotton fabric, product class II. Read about OEKO-TEX certified bags.
- Organic fibre: GOTS certification for bags from 100% organic cotton at the organic label grade. Read about GOTS certified cotton bags.
- Recycled content: GRS certification for bags from 100% recycled pre-consumer cotton. Read about GRS certified cotton bags.
A bag can hold some of these. Tell us what your retailer requires and we confirm which certificate applies.
Bags for UK buyers
Shipping to the UK
We quote four terms for UK orders. On FOB we load the goods at Kolkata port and you arrange the freight. On CIF we pay the freight and insurance to your UK port. On DAP we deliver to your named UK address and you clear import. On DDP we deliver with duties paid. Tell us your delivery address and your preferred term and we quote. Our page on being a jute and cotton bags exporter from India explains each term.
Order size and timing
Export orders start at 1,000 pieces per design, with a minimum total order of 5,000 pieces. Samples take 7 to 10 days. Samples without printing are free, and printed samples are charged. Production takes 30 to 60 days.
Branding your bags
We print and embroider bags in our own unit. The methods are screen printing, digital printing and embroidery. Our design team can send a mock-up before we make a sample. Send artwork as a vector file in AI, EPS or PDF format.
Quality checks
When fabric arrives from the mill we check it against what was ordered. Every finished bag is then checked by hand, one by one, following strict instructions from our QC manager. You are welcome to arrange a third party inspection before the goods leave us. You can read more in our complete guide to jute bag manufacturing in India.
