If I recall the monetary sponsorship was bronze level. So the bags
would have to be worth CHF 8k.

Agreed. When I looked online, the best estimate I could come up with
for the costs of producing these bags was in the CHF 4-8 CHF range.
Assuming ~300 bags and CHF 8 costs per bag, that's about CHF 2400,
which would put it well short of Gold. (CHF 12000)
I proposed the text I wrote, as the most expedient way I could think
of to proceed. (As opposed to asking for and waiting for all Gold+
sponsors to sign off.)
