Our Story
How it all began
Over 15 years ago Suzanne Halpin, our Managing Director, started carrying
children’s activity packs and crayons to entertain her two daughters whilst dining out. Suzanne identified a need for an activity bag that not only entertained her children, but offered a practical solution to businesses wanting to create a positive family experience. The first Bizzi Bag was born.
Developing the family-friendly offering
After making a trip to China to source a manufacturing facility, Craftis could cost effectively create children’s activity packs and crayons that would benefit the UK market. Business grew rapidly as the hospitality industry quickly recognised the value of our family offering. Now with a carbon neutral production partner in the UK, Craftis is proud to be the market leader supplying over 20 million products to over 2700 customers per year.
Big Brands
After the success of our generic range, we are proud to have developed a bespoke range of products with many of our customers. These include crayons for kids, disposable menu mats, colouring-in sheets, branded merchandise, educational materials, party ware and takeaway bags and boxes.

Craftis App with Augmented Reality
Whilst we never want to replace our Bizzi Bags fully with activities for children on screens, we cannot deny they’re importance in today’s society. The new Original Bizzi Bag now includes access to the free Craftis App. Children can use their crayons to design their own characters and watch them appear in 3D, right in front of their eyes!
As our range develops we are excited to work with our customers to create activities that combine traditional colouring-in, 3D animation and sound, in a fully immersive, AR experience.
