Promotional Branded Bags

Printed Bags That Put Your Brand in Customers' Hands

Branded bags are one of the most pratical and cost-effective ways to keep your business visible long after an event or campaign has finished. Whether you're exhibiting at a trade show, launching a new product, welcoming new employees or running a retail promotion, a well-made promotional bag becomes a useful item that customers carry again and again.

From everyday shopping and commuting to gym sesesions, conferences and weekend trips, personalised bags provide ongoing brand exposure while offering genuine value to the people who receive them. Available in a wide choice of materials, colour and print finishes, there's a solution to suit every campaign, audience and budget. 

Choosing the Right Bag

The best bag for your campaign depends on who you're targeting and how it will be used. If you're handing out brochures at an exhibition, a spacious tote or paper carrier bag is an excellent choice. Sports events, schools and charity fundraisers often favour lightweight drawstring styles, while businesses looking to reward staff or impress clients may prefer premium backpacks or insulated lunch bags.

Material is another important consideration. Cotton offers a soft, natural finish that's ideal for everyday use, while canvas provides extra durability for heavier loads. Non-woven polypropylene is a lightweight and economical option for larger promotional campaigns, whereas woven polypropylene delivers greater strength and longevity. Recycled PET (rPET), made from recycled plastic bottles, combines durability with sustainability, and natural jute offers a distinctive rustic appearance that's perfect for environmentally conscious brands.

Tote Bags - A versatile favourite for everyday branding

Tote bags have become one of the most popular branded products thanks to their practicality and generous print area. Used for shopping, commuting, university, exhibitions, fresher's week and everyday errands, they're a product recipients are likely to keep and reuse for years.

Available in cotton, canvas, recycled cotton, organic cotton, jute and recycled PET, tote bags can be tailored to suit everything from budget-conscious giveaways to premium retail promotions. Long handles, gusseted designs and heavier-weight fabrics also provide extra carrying capacity for brochures, groceries or merchandise.

Drawstring Bags - Lightweight, practical and ideal for active lifestyles

Printed Drawstring bags are a popular choice for schools, sports clubs, gyms, charity events and promotional giveaways. Their compact design makes them easy to distribute, while the large branding area ensures your logo remains highly visible.

Commonly manufactured from polyester, recycled PET, cotton and non-woven polypropylene, these bags are lightweight yet durable enough for carrying sports kit, shoes, clothing or everyday essentials.  Available in a huge variety of colours and with additional features such as reinforced corners, zipped pouches, relfective stripes, these truly are a versatile product.

Carrier Bags - Smart presentation for retail and events

Carrier bags help businesses create a professional impression while extending brand awareness beyond the point of sale. They're widely used by retailers, exhibitions, hospitality venues and product launches, allowing customers to carry purchases or marketing materials with ease.

Options include paper carrier bags with twisted or rope handles, reusable polypropylene bags, cotton shoppers and premium laminated finishes for luxury brands. With a variety of sizes and print techniques available, they're suitable for everything from boutique shopping to corporate events.  We can supply any size and any style with matching coloured handles.

Cooler & Lunch Bags - Keep food fresh while keeping your brand visible

Printed Insulated cooler bags offer a practical promotional product that's used throughout the working week and during leisure time. They're ideal for employee wellbeing initiatives, outdoor events, company picnics, schools and corporate gifts.  Available in a variety of styles for holding cans, packed lunches and the supermarket shop.

Made using insulated polyester, recycled materials, PEVA linings and thermal foam insulation, cooler bags help maintain food and drink temperatures while providing excellent branding opportunities on a product people use repeatedly.

Jute Bags - Natural style with long-lasting durability

Promotional Jute bags combine strength, sustainability and a premium appearance, making them a favourite for farm shops, food retailers, garden centres and environmentally conscious businesses. Their robust construction means they can comfortably carry heavier shopping while maintaining their shape.  Opting for a branded jute bag with a cotton panel on the front, means you can enjoy the benefits of a jute bag whilst still maintaining a quality detailed print.

Manufactured from natural jute fibres, they're often combined with cotton handles or laminated interiors for added durability, creating a reusable bag that's both practical and environmentally friendly.

Eco-Friendly Options - Reusable solutions for more sustainable marketing

As organisations look to reduce waste and promote greener business practices, eco-friendly bags have become an increasingly popular choice. They're ideal for businesses wanting to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability without compromising on quality or branding.

Choose from recycled PET made from plastic bottles, organic cotton, recycled cotton, jute, hemp, bamboo fibres and responsibly sourced paper. These materials not only reduce environmental impact but also create products that customers are proud to reuse, extending the lifespan of your marketing investment.

Backpacks - Premium branding for work, travel and everyday use

Branded Backpacks offer outstanding value for businesses looking to create a lasting impression. Popular as employee welcome gifts, conference giveaways, university merchandise and premium client gifts, they're designed for regular use and provide excellent visibility for your brand.
