Different Promotional Bags For Different Occasions And Use

If you’ve ever browsed a promotional catalogue before, you’ll know that there are plenty of different bags to choose from. This can often mean that it’s difficult to choose which one will best meet your needs and complement your brand. It can be easy to make the wrong choice, which can leave recipients with a bad taste. In this article, we have taken a closer look at the different promotional bags on offer as well as the different occasions that may call for them.

  • Backpacks A pricier option that really shows recipients you care, backpacks can actually be used on a number of occasions. A laptop one, for example, can be used by workers who are constantly on the go, whereas travel ones can be used by workers who travel a lot for business or by everyday people who enjoy taking regular holidays.

  • Conference Bags & Satchels These sorts of promotional bags are primarily used amongst corporate workers, although they are also used by tertiary students. Their primary function is to carry and protect laptops and tablet devices from damage during transit. They can also be used to carry notebooks and paperwork in a manner that is organised.

  • Coolers For something a little different, coolers are used to keep food and drinks cool until it’s time to consume them. Smaller ones make great lunchboxes (keep food fresh until lunchtime), whereas larger ones are popular fixtures at picnics. Whether you’re on the road all day and don’t want your lunch to go off or heading off to a sports game, this is ideal.

  • Sports Bags & Duffels Believe it or not, these bags can be used for a variety of applications. If you play sport or are a regular patron of the gym, they can hold all your gear. If you sponsor a local sports team, you can donate some duffels that feature your branding. If you work in the sport or fitness industry, you can hand them out to employees or clients as a thank you.

  • Tote The most affordable option on this list, these bags have myriad uses that can prove to be quite cost effective. They can be handed out at tradeshows and events (as a sort of showbag, often filled with goodies), as a carrier for purchases made in store, as a beach or gym bag, as a makeshift handbag or even when going to school.

  • Toiletry Bags Many people don’t consider these to be promotional bags, but they can certainly be branded and will be greatly appreciated. They are a great choice for workers who spend a lot of time travelling for business, as well as for people who just enjoy a cheeky holiday every now and then. They can have various compartments if required.

  • Luggage When used promotionally, there are two types of company that will use travel bags. The first is those who have employees that are regularly on the road for business, and the second is those who are involved in the travel industry. This is by far the priciest option on the market, but it can be well worth the cost if used effectively.
