Features and types
The confetti bags available from L'Arcolaio cover every need, from small family baptisms to weddings with many guests. All products in the section are active and available.
Satin: the classic choice for weddings and communions
Satin is the most requested material for formal ceremonies. Soft surface, light glossy effect, closure with coordinated ribbon. Cupido&Co. offers satin bags in various formats — from the compact 80×100 mm to the more spacious 100×140 mm — in ivory white, sky blue and dusty pink, sold in packs of 12 pieces. The 100×140 mm format is most suitable when you want to insert a small card or charm along with the confetti.
Organza: lightness and transparency for table effects
Organza is semi-transparent: it lets you glimpse the contents, an effect appreciated when the confetti has a significant colour or you want to enhance it on the tableau de mariage. ETM offers the Bag Organza with drawstring line, measuring 8×10 cm, available in sky blue and blue in packs of 10 and 12 pieces — a practical and cost-effective solution for large quantities.
Round tulle veil bags: maximum colour choice
The round net veil bags with tulle from Star Import Italy cover the broadest palette in the catalogue: sky blue, écru, pink, red, blue, fuchsia, yellow, orange, brown. They are sold in packs of 25 pieces. They are suitable for ceremonies with specific colour themes or for those who want to combine multiple colours in a single order.
Transparent crystal bags: for those who love simplicity
ETM also offers the Transparent Crystal Food Bag, format 6×10 cm, in a pack of 100 pieces. It is the most practical solution for large ceremonies: low cost per piece, transparent material that highlights the confetti. Also suitable for informal parties, anniversaries or confirmations with many guests.
L'Arcolaio and Scotton branded bags
The catalogue also includes 16 references under the L'Arcolaio brand and 10 by Scotton — the latter being a brand present in the sector since 1974. These lines complete the offer with material and format variations not always available on the main lines.
How to choose the right confetti bag
For the occasion
For the wedding, satin remains the most coordinated choice with an elegant arrangement. Format 90×90 mm or 100×140 mm, colours white, ivory or dusty pink. The confetti cones are an appreciated alternative for outdoor or garden ceremonies.
For the baptism, sky blue and pink are traditional colours; écru and cream work as a more modern alternative. Packs of 25 pieces from Star Import Italy allow you to manage large guest lists without ordering again.
For communion and confirmation, white and ivory are the most suitable shades, which can be combined with gold or silver details. Cupido&Co. satin bags in white (80×100 mm and 100×140 mm, 12 pieces) are designed for these occasions. To complete the day's arrangement, you can also combine the confetti boxes for those who prefer more structured packaging.
For anniversaries and graduations, the coloured tulle veil formats or crystal bags offer colour flexibility and reduced cost per piece, useful when the number of guests is high.
For dimensions
The most compact sizes (6×10 cm, 8×10 cm, 80×100 mm) are suitable for 5-8 confetti or a symbolic keepsake. Medium formats (90×90 mm, 95×95 mm) comfortably hold 10-12 confetti. The 100×140 mm is the most spacious and allows you to add a small card or decorative element in addition to the confetti themselves.
For quantity and purchase format
Those organising a ceremony with few guests find in the 12-piece packs the right size to test materials and colours. For large numbers, packs of 25 pieces from Star Import Italy and those of 100 pieces from ETM lower the unit cost. Matching the bags with confetti and sweets allows you to complete your purchase in a single solution.
For the style of the ceremony
If the arrangement is classic and refined, satin in white or dusty pink easily matches the items for ceremonies and favours in the catalogue. For a complete coordinated look with more structured containers, also explore the glass favours and containers. To finish the bags with a personal touch, the decorative ribbons available on L'Arcolaio offer colours and widths suitable for every type of knot.
FAQ — Frequently asked questions about confetti bags
How many confetti fit in a confetti bag?
It depends on the format. An 80×100 mm bag contains approximately 5-7 confetti; the 100×140 mm holds 10-15 or slightly more depending on the confetti size. The 6×10 cm crystal bags are designed for 5-8 standard confetti. If you are looking for confetti to match, in the confetti and sweets section you will find Maxtris confetti available for all occasions.
Are the bags sold individually or in a pack?
All products in this section are sold in packs: 10 pieces (some ETM models), 12 pieces (Cupido&Co. line), 25 pieces (Star Import Italy) or 100 pieces (ETM Transparent Bag). Individual pieces are not available.
Can you see through the organza bags?
Yes. Organza is semi-transparent: it lets you glimpse the contents. It is a visual effect appreciated on the table or on the tableau de mariage, especially when the confetti has vivid colours. If you prefer the contents to remain hidden until opening, satin and round tulle veil are opaque.
Can I personalise the confetti bags?
The models in the catalogue are supplied without graphic personalisation. However, you can enhance them yourself with adhesive labels, tags with the names of the bride and groom, coloured ribbons or small charms. The decorative ribbons in the catalogue match well with both satin and organza bags.
What colours are suitable for baptism and communion?
For baptism, sky blue and pink are classic colours; white, cream and écru are elegant alternatives. For communion, white and ivory remain the most suitable. Both Cupido&Co. and Star Import Italy cover these palettes with multiple formats and packs.
L'Arcolaio and ceremonies: an identity that comes from afar
L'Arcolaio was founded in 2000 in Pignataro Interamna, a few minutes from the Cassino exit of the A1 motorway, precisely as a small wholesale business for favour bags. Confetti bags are therefore not just any category in the catalogue: they are the starting point of everything. Today the shop covers 5,000 m² and includes a refrigerated room dedicated to confetti, with over 115 bag references for sale online and the complete catalogue also available in store, Monday-Saturday 8:30 am-7:00 pm, Sunday 10:00 am-7:00 pm. We ship throughout Italy and to 21 European countries; direct collection from the store is also possible.
