Promotional Bags Are Useful
When you are trying to advertise and market your business around town, what better way to do that than to provide the public with something useful that they can bring with them in their daily lives. Promotional bags are perfect for everyday use as they can be used virtually anywhere for anything. Additionally, while people are using their bags in their daily lives, they will be walking around with your company logo showing it off. It is like having walking billboards for your business! From the farmers market to the gym, a good tote rarely sits unused for long.
Promotional Bags Increase Your Brand’s Awareness
A promotional bag with your company’s logo on it can increase your brand’s awareness. As mentioned above, when people walk around town and use their promotional bags with your company logo on them, they are essentially walking around with your billboard. Other people will notice the bags being used and the logo on them, ask questions about it, or go home and Google search for your business if they are in need of your products or services. Brand awareness is just one benefit; giveaways can also strengthen client ties and lift staff morale.
You Can Make Eco-Friendly Promotional Bags
Reusable bags are hugely popular because they help limit the amount of plastic and other harmful materials that we waste. People really like to acquire reusable bags because they can be used for pretty much everything from groceries and transporting daily items to going to the beach or gym, etc. Slap your company’s logo on there and you have endless opportunities for exposure. Choosing durable materials, such as sturdy canvas or recycled fabrics when available, makes your eco-friendly message even more credible.
Types of Promotional Bags to Consider
Ask our team which bag styles are available for your order. Popular choices include:
- Cotton and canvas totes: sturdy, reusable and great for groceries, books and beach days.
- Non-woven totes: lightweight and budget-friendly for trade shows and large events.
- Drawstring backpacks: hands-free and popular with students, gyms and sports teams.
- Backpacks and duffels: premium gifts for employees, clients and VIPs, especially as embroidered backpacks.
- Laptop and messenger bags: polished gifts for remote teams, clients and conference speakers.
- Cooler and lunch bags: practical picks for summer events and office teams.
Printing vs. Embroidery on Bags
Screen printing is a cost-effective way to put bold logos on large runs of totes, while embroidery gives backpacks, duffels and canvas bags a premium, long-lasting finish. Whichever you choose, keep the design large and simple enough to read from across a room, because a tote is a moving billboard. Printing on both sides doubles your exposure as the bag is carried around town. Ask our team which method fits your bag material, since some fabrics take printing better than others.
Where Promotional Bags Make the Biggest Impact
- Trade shows and conferences: attendees need something to carry brochures and swag, so a sturdy tote gets used right away. On a tight deadline? Here’s how to speed up a corporate giveaway order.
- Grocery and retail stores: a reusable bag with purchase rewards customers and advertises your store on every trip.
- Farmers markets and street fairs: shoppers need a bag on the spot, and they keep using it afterward.
- Schools and campuses: drawstring bags and totes carry books, gym clothes and laptops every day.
- Gyms and yoga studios: members carry gear, towels and water bottles to every class.
- Welcome kits: new employees, members and clients love a bag filled with branded goodies.
Full-Color Tote Designs with DTF
When your design has gradients, photos or lots of colors, DTF transfers print it in vibrant full color on cotton, canvas and polyester totes with a soft-touch finish. There are no minimums, and orders placed by 1 PM can be printed the same day, so you can make a small run of limited-edition bags or match your totes to event tees. Our guide on how to apply DTF transfers explains how to press them onto bags and apparel.
Promotional Tote Bag FAQs
What size tote bag should I choose?
A standard tote around 15 by 16 inches fits groceries, books and trade show handouts, which makes it the safest choice for most giveaways.
Where should the logo go on a tote?
The center of one side is the classic spot. For extra visibility, add a second print on the back or a small logo near the handle.
How should promotional tote bags be washed?
Turn cotton and canvas totes inside out, wash on cold and air dry, and avoid ironing directly on the decoration. Non-woven totes should be wiped clean rather than machine washed.
Can I sell branded bags instead of giving them away?
Yes. Many shops, cafes and venues sell branded totes as merch, which helps cover costs while still spreading your logo. Others give them away with a minimum purchase.
