Promotional colouring bags and paint sheets are branded activity products printed with custom designs or characters that children colour in, making them a creative and engaging giveaway for schools, councils and family-focused events. Schools and community groups across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth use branded colouring bags at school fetes, orientation days, library launches and council open days to put their logo in the hands of young families in a fun, memorable way.

The Colouring Calico Library Bag is the hero product in this category. Made from 140gsm 100% unbleached natural cotton with cotton rope drawstrings, each bag comes printed with a custom design or character outline ready for kids to colour in. The bags include 8 assorted non-toxic wax crayons packed in a recycled cardboard box, covering Pink, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple and Black. The colouring area keeps children entertained for hours and gives the branded bag a practical second life long after the event. Because the bag itself is reusable, your logo travels home and stays visible in the family's daily routine. These bags suit school fetes, library programs, local council community days, children's hospital waiting areas, family expos and any activation where connecting with young families matters.

Decoration is applied via screen print on the flat cotton panels, giving sharp, bold coverage across the large branding area. Bags are available in Natural and sized at 380mm wide by 480mm high. Call 1300 85 50 35 to request a free artwork mockup — our team will send a branded proof for your review before production begins, no obligation to order.

How to Choose Branded Colouring Bags Your Young Audience Will Actually Use
Colouring Bags for Schools, Libraries and Council Community Programs
Branded colouring bags are one of the few promotional products that engage children directly, giving schools, libraries and councils a giveaway parents appreciate and kids actually use. For school fetes and library orientation programs, the Colouring Calico Library Bag is the clear choice. It is functional as a reusable library bag and entertaining as a colouring activity, so children use it twice — once to colour in at the event and again as a bag at school. Library coordinators and school event organisers across Australia regularly hand these out at reading week launches and fete stalls, where kids can take a crayon home and finish the design later. Council community days benefit from the same format — the bag becomes a branded keepsake that families take home and display, extending the logo's reach beyond the event itself. Screen print on the 260mm by 300mm front panel gives a bold, sharp impression that holds up through multiple washes, so the branding stays visible long after the crayons run out. If your program targets younger children or requires a very specific character theme, a custom printed character outline keeps kids engaged for longer.
Branded Colouring Bags for Not-for-Profits, Children's Hospitals and Health Programs
Not-for-profits, children's hospitals and community health programs use branded colouring bags to create a positive, calming experience for children while keeping the organisation's logo visible with families over time. Children's hospital waiting areas are a strong fit for the Colouring Calico Library Bag — the colouring activity gives children something constructive to do while they wait, and the non-toxic crayons meet the safety standards these environments require. Health promotion teams at councils and NFPs find the format popular with parents because it replaces screen time with a hands-on activity, which aligns with their messaging. The natural unbleached cotton construction also appeals to organisations with an eco-friendly or sustainability focus, as the bag is reusable and the crayon pack ships in recycled cardboard. For awareness campaigns targeting young families, the bag's size means it doubles as a school library bag after the event, giving the brand repeated exposure every week at school drop-off and pickup. Charities running fundraising days and community fairs find these bags effective as both an activity station giveaway and a take-home keepsake.
Custom Colouring Bags for Family Expos, Product Launches and Sponsorship Activations
Family expos, brand activations and sponsorship events benefit from colouring bags because they stop families at the stand, create a dwell time activity, and send a branded item home with every child who visits. For product launches targeting family demographics, the Colouring Calico Library Bag works as both an on-stand activity and a take-home bag. Expo coordinators set up a simple colouring station where children start the bag at the stand and take it home to finish. This approach drives stand traffic and extends brand recall well beyond the expo floor. The 8-crayon pack means no additional supplies are needed at the stand, keeping the activation simple to run. For sponsors wanting to customise the character or design theme to match their brand story, screen printing on the front panel accommodates detailed character artwork at scale. Minimum orders start from 100 units, which suits mid-scale activations and community events. Allow roughly 10 working days from artwork sign-off for production. Call 1300 85 50 35 and our team will help you match the right colouring design, screen print colours and quantity to your event brief and budget.
FAQs About colouring bags paint sheets
What is included with a branded colouring calico library bag
Each colouring calico library bag includes the printed cotton bag plus a pack of 8 assorted non-toxic wax crayons packed in a recycled cardboard box. Crayon colours cover Pink, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple and Black. The crayon pack ships stapled to the cotton bag, so the complete set arrives ready to hand out at your event with no additional assembly required. The bag itself is made from 140gsm unbleached natural cotton with cotton rope drawstrings and is sized at 380mm wide by 480mm high.
What is the minimum order quantity for branded colouring bags
The minimum order quantity for branded colouring calico library bags is 100 units. This makes them accessible for school fetes, library launches and council community days where organisers typically need enough for a half-day or full-day event. Orders of 100 units suit small to mid-scale activations, while larger quantities are available for councils or organisations running state-wide programs or multiple events throughout the year. Contact the team with your quantity and event date for a tailored quote.
How are logos and designs printed on colouring calico bags
Colouring calico bags use screen printing to apply logos, character outlines and custom designs to the flat cotton surface. Screen print pushes ink through a mesh screen to lay bold, solid colour across the large flat panel. The print area on the front of the bag measures 260mm wide by 300mm high, giving plenty of space for detailed character artwork or a large logo. A small digital label option is also available on the front at 40mm by 50mm for secondary branding like a website or sponsor name.
Are the crayons included with colouring bags safe for young children
Yes, the crayons included with colouring calico library bags are non-toxic wax crayons, making them safe for use by children at school events, library programs and community days. The 8-colour set covers the standard spectrum children need to complete a colouring design. The crayon pack ships in a recycled cardboard box, which suits organisations with an eco-friendly focus. For events targeting very young children, we recommend confirming the age-appropriateness of the crayon size with your event coordinator before ordering.
How long does production take for branded colouring bags
Production on branded colouring calico library bags takes approximately 10 working days from the date of order and artwork approval, subject to stock availability at the time of order. Shipping and freight times are in addition to production. For events with tight deadlines, contact the team as early as possible so they can confirm stock levels and the fastest available production path. Flagging your event date at the quoting stage helps the team plan artwork turnaround and dispatch to suit your schedule.
Can I customise the character or design printed on the colouring bag
Yes, the character or outline design printed on the colouring bag can be customised to suit your organisation's theme, brand story or event concept. The 260mm by 300mm screen print area accommodates detailed character artwork, logo-based designs or custom illustrated outlines. Our artwork team works with your supplied files or brief to create a print-ready design. A free digital mockup is provided before production so you can review how the character and branding appear on the natural cotton fabric before committing to the print run.
What events are branded colouring bags most popular for
Branded colouring calico library bags are most popular at school fetes, library reading week launches, local council community days, children's hospital programs and family expos. They work well wherever children are present and a take-home activity giveaway adds value to the event experience. Not-for-profits use them for awareness campaigns targeting young families. Sponsors at family activations use them as an on-stand activity to drive dwell time. Their dual function as a colouring activity and a reusable library bag gives the branded item a longer life beyond the event.
What size are the colouring calico library bags
Colouring calico library bags are sized at 380mm wide by 480mm high, which is a standard library bag size that fits comfortably over a child's shoulder or in a school bag pocket. The screen print decoration area covers 260mm wide by 300mm high on the front and back panels, giving a large colouring canvas for children. The cotton rope drawstrings make the bag easy for young children to open and close independently. The natural unbleached cotton is available in one colour option, Natural, which provides the best background for colouring artwork.

This process removes the guesswork and gives you confidence that the finished bags will represent your school, council or organisation exactly as intended.
