Nylon bags for schools and stationery shops carry books, exercise books, uniforms, art supplies and parcels of school items. For a stationery shop, every bag that leaves is a small advert. For a school, a printed bag keeps the school name visible at events, on registration days and at graduation.
This guide explains which size suits each kind of item, how to check the fit, and what to print.

Which size suits nylon bags for schools and stationery shops
The two stationery sizes were named for this purpose: the Short Stationery Nylon Bags at 8.75 x 13.25 inches and the Long Stationery Nylon Bags at 10 x 15 inches. Exercise books, small stationery sets, notebooks and craft supplies often fit them. For bigger items, such as uniforms or several books together, look at the Fashion Nylon Bags.
| What you pack | Bag to consider | Check |
|---|---|---|
| Pens, small sets, notebooks | Short Stationery, 8.75 x 13.25 inches | Measure the stack of items together |
| Exercise books, art supplies | Long Stationery, 10 x 15 inches | Measure the books or sets, including thickness |
| Uniforms, bundles, several books | Fashion Nylon Bag, 14 x 18 inches | Fold or bundle first, then measure |
Books and exercise books come in several sizes. Always measure your own.

How to check the fit for books and stationery
- Take the real items, such as the exercise books or the school pack you want to carry.
- Stack them as a customer would carry them and measure the stack in inches. See how to measure nylon bag size.
- Allow room. A flat bag cannot hold an item of exactly its own flat size, as a polybag sizing guide explains.
- Check the corners. Books have hard corners that can strain a thin bag.
- Confirm the size in inches before you order.
What to print on nylon bags for schools and stationery shops
- The school or shop name, large and clear. A school can add its crest as a simple one-colour logo.
- One phone number or office line. See phone numbers on printed stickers.
- One colour. A single clear colour keeps the bag readable and the order simple. See nylon bag colours.
- A clean logo file. Crests and badges print best as vector files. See vector artwork for nylon bags.
