For professional conference organisers

The delegate bag supplier PCOs don't have to chase

You are managing venues, speakers, catering and a client. Delegate bags should be the workstream that simply arrives: customised, correct and on time. That is the service we built.

Why PCOs work with us

One less workstream to worry about

Professional conference organisers live and die by run sheets. A delegate bag supplier who "should deliver Thursday" is a risk you can't carry into registration week. That is why we run bag production the way you run an event: dates locked, sign-offs scheduled, no surprises.

  • Production planned backwards from your event date: artwork approval, sampling, production and courier time all mapped before we start.
  • One supplier for the whole registration set: delegate bags, matching lanyards, and gifting inserts, coordinated in your congress colours.
  • Direct access to the makers: you deal with the people who run the workshop, so changes and answers happen the same day.
  • Congress-scale capacity: we've produced 550 bags for a single international congress in Cape Town, and flown boxes to Durban ourselves when a deadline demanded it.

The organiser's checklist

What your delegate bag needs to do

After more than a decade supplying the conference and event industry, we know the bag has four jobs, and we design for all of them.

Impress at registration

First impressions start at registration. A well-made, customised bag sets the tone for the entire congress before the first keynote, and it photographs beautifully for your post-event report.

Carry the sponsor story

Sponsor logos need placement that satisfies the contract without ruining the design. We plan event marks, sponsor positions and inside labels with you before production.

Outlive the event

A bag delegates reuse keeps your client's brand moving for years. Handmade quality in real fabrics is why our bags keep turning up "in the wild" long after the congress ends.

Answer the sustainability question

When a delegate asks "is this ethical?", your answer is yes: locally made, women-led production, and RPET fabric options made from twelve recycled bottles per metre.

Bags that have opened real congresses

The Women in Tech Global Congress opened with our delegate bags and matching lanyards. An international congress in Cape Town handed 550 of our RPET bags to its delegates. The Palliative Care Conference in Durban received 340 cream totes, personally flown up to protect the deadline.

Ask us for references. PCOs book repeatedly, and there's a reason.

A detail organisers love

Give your delegates the story, too

Every bag is handmade by Cape Town artisans: a line your MC can use from the stage, your client can put in the programme, and your delegates will repeat. We can add swing tags telling the makers' story, turning your gifting into part of the event's narrative.
