Graduation Gift Bags Wholesale
Published: August 23, 2026 | 8 min read
US graduation season (May-June) creates a 6-week window where college bookstores, campus stores, and gift shops buy branded totes, drawstring backpacks, and packing-cube bundles in school colors. Average order size is 500-2000 pieces per school. Common customization: school logo, year of graduation, and/or name of school. Lead time is 30-45 days for printed orders, so orders must be placed by early March.
