A Factory Partner for Chicago, Not a Middleman
Chicago buyers tend to order in volume and to a deadline, whether that is a McCormick Place show, a citywide retail rollout or a corporate campaign run from the Loop. Richie Bags handles that as the manufacturer. We are a jute, cotton and recycled bag maker and exporter based in Kolkata, India, with more than 100 artisans on the floor and a product design team in the building, and we have exported to Japan, Italy, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Australia and the USA.
Because we make the bag ourselves, a Chicago order is built to your brief rather than pulled from stock. Fabric grade, dimensions, handle style, lining, closures and print are all specified by you and sampled by us before a single production bag is cut.
We are a business-to-business supplier and take bulk orders only. Each Chicago enquiry is priced individually on fabric, print method, size, customisation, handling and freight. Our manufacturing process page shows how a bag moves from raw jute to finished, packed cartons.
Chicago’s checkout bag tax has nudged shoppers and retailers towards durable reusable bags, so a branded jute tote is a practical item rather than a novelty. Trade show exhibitors, grocery and specialty food retailers, bookstores, museums and hospitality groups across Cook County all fit that pattern. We also supply Minneapolis, Cleveland and Nashville.

Custom Printed Bags for Chicago Events and Retail
Trade show bags need to carry a sponsor logo, a show mark and often a partner’s branding on the reverse, and Chicago buyers ask for that combination more than anyone. We print your unique designs, company logo, tagline and campaign messages to a proof you approve. Artwork can be supplied as PSD (our preference), JPEG, TIFF, BMP or PDF, or you can build a layout in our online bag designer and send it across. Camera-ready laser-printed artwork is also accepted.

- Corporate identity and tagline printing
- Event dates, hashtags and personalised messages
- Bespoke sizes and layouts from our in-house designers
- Fabric colour, handle length and print to your brief
Shipping and Freight to Chicago
Chicago is an inland destination, so consignments from Kolkata land at a West Coast port such as Los Angeles or Long Beach, or an East Coast port such as New York and New Jersey, and then move by rail to Chicago, the busiest rail freight hub in the United States. Our freight forwarders book the whole route and confirm it with your quotation. Sea freight is the standard mode; air freight is the express option.
For budgeting, ocean freight on a full container load (FCL) is usually 15 to 20 percent of the consignment value. A less than container load (LCL) booking costs more per unit, typically 20 to 25 percent, depending on the volume.
Samples are prepared in 7 to 10 days and couriered to Chicago on a TO PAY basis using your international courier account.
- Sea freight to the coast, then rail into Chicago
- Air freight when a show date leaves no slack
- Full container (FCL) and part container (LCL) bookings
- Samples couriered in 7 to 10 days on a TO PAY basis
- Wholesale B2B orders only
Quality Assurance and Compliance for Chicago Buyers
Our internal surveyors check every Chicago order at multiple stages before it is cleared for shipment, and we supply documented quality assurance together with a guarantee of timely delivery. Buyers who need their own sign-off can send a surveyor to Kolkata, at their expense, for a final inspection before the container is loaded.
- Staged internal inspections before release
- Documented QA supplied with each Chicago order
- Your surveyor welcome for a pre-shipment check

Chicago Jute Bag Supply: Frequently Asked Questions
Do you supply jute bags to businesses in Chicago?
Yes. Richie Bags is a jute, cotton and recycled bag manufacturer and exporter in Kolkata, India, and we supply wholesale buyers in Chicago, Illinois. Consignments ship by sea to a West Coast or East Coast port and continue by rail to Chicago. We work business to business and take bulk orders only.
Do you make the bags yourselves or source them from other factories?
We make them. Production runs in our own Kolkata facility with over 100 artisans and an internal product design team, so a Chicago order is manufactured to your specification rather than selected from stock.
What is the minimum quantity for a Chicago wholesale order?
We do not publish a fixed minimum. We supply on a B2B basis and take bulk orders only, and the workable quantity depends on the bag, the print and the production run. Send us your Chicago requirement and we will confirm a quantity in the quotation.
What do wholesale jute bags cost for Chicago?
We have no fixed rates. Prices are estimated from the fabric type and quality grade, printing method, size, customisation, handling and shipping to Chicago, and they change over time. Please address cost questions directly to us with your brief.
Can we get a sample before ordering in bulk?
Yes. Email info@richiebags.com and we will confirm what we can send. Samples take 7 to 10 days to prepare and are sent to Chicago on a TO PAY basis, so we will need your account number with an international courier.
How do shipments reach Chicago, and what does freight cost?
Sea freight is standard and air freight is available for express delivery. Containers land at a West Coast or East Coast port and travel by rail to Chicago. Ocean freight for a full container load is roughly 15 to 20 percent of consignment value; less than container load shipments run about 20 to 25 percent depending on size.
Can you print sponsor and exhibitor logos on trade show bags?
Yes. We print your designs, company logo, tagline, partner logos and event messages. Supply artwork as PSD, JPEG, TIFF, BMP or PDF, with PSD preferred, or design the bag in our online customisation tool.
What quality checks are done before a Chicago order ships?
Multiple internal QA stages are completed by our surveyors before release, and we provide documented quality assurance with a guarantee of timely delivery. Clients may also send their own surveyor, at their expense, for a final examination.
How long is delivery to Chicago?
Transit time depends on the freight mode, the port of entry and the rail schedule when we book, so we confirm it in your quotation. Sea freight plus rail is the standard route; air freight is available for express delivery.
