Promotional bags
Promotional bags with your logo
A printed bag is a giveaway people carry on using, so your logo goes wherever they go. Below you'll find our guides by industry and occasion, then the bags we'd pick for gyms, sports clubs, estate agents, councils and the NHS. Every bag is screen printed at our works in Leeds.

Gyms and fitness studios
A drawstring bag is the natural pick for a gym. It holds a towel, a bottle and a change of clothes, and it goes on the back for the walk home. Give one to new members when they join, or sell them on the front desk.
Our Cotton Drawstring Bag comes in 29 colours, so you can match your brand. For a heavier feel, the Premium Cotton Drawstring Bag is 200gsm cotton. If the bags will see rain or damp kit, the Polyester Drawstring Bag is water resistant.

Sports clubs
Clubs usually want two things: a kit bag for players and something to sell or give away at the clubhouse. Drawstring bags do the first. A long-handled cotton shopper with the club crest does the second, and it's an easy item for a fundraising stall.
Most clubs order once a season, so order enough for new members too. Once the screens are made, extra bags only add the cost of the bag and the print. For kit, the Recycled Cotton Drawstring Stuff Bag comes in six sizes, from a small pouch to a 38-litre sack. There's more on our sports club bags page.

Estate agents
An estate agent's bag has a good job to do: it goes to people on the day they get their keys. A strong tote with a welcome pack inside (a bottle of something, a local guide, the spare keys) gets used for the weekly shop from the new house, with your name on the side.
For that, pick a bag with some weight to it, like the Recycled Canvas Tote Bag or the Premium Recycled Canvas Tote Bag, in natural or black. A one-colour print of your logo keeps it smart. Both are in our express range in those two colours, so you can top up quickly when stock runs low.

Councils
Councils use printed bags for recycling and waste campaigns, libraries, markets and community events. They often need a lot of bags, a recycled fabric and a purchase order.
The Recycled Cotton Tote Bag is made from 70% recycled cotton and 30% recycled polyester, GRS certified, and it's our lowest-priced bag, which helps a campaign budget go further. For a heavier recycled bag, see our recycled bags. Councils, schools and other public bodies can pay against a purchase order and invoice: see bags for the public sector.

NHS trusts and health services
NHS trusts, hospital charities and health services use printed bags for staff welcome packs, health campaigns and fundraising. A bag that holds leaflets, a water bottle or a new starter's pack gets carried round the site and home again.
Send us the artwork your communications team has approved, with the Pantone references from your brand guidelines, and we'll match them. For fundraising stalls, a coloured tote like the Cotton Tote Bag Long Handle comes in 48 colours. We can take a purchase order and invoice: ask us.

Questions people ask
What makes a good promotional bag?
One that people keep using, because every use is another look at your logo. For most giveaways, a 150gsm cotton shopper with long handles is the best value. If you want the bag kept for years, a heavier canvas tote is worth the extra.
How many promotional bags should I order?
Count the people you'll hand them to and add about ten per cent for spares and staff. Once the screens are made, extra bags only cost the bag and the print. See how many bags to order for an event.
Can you print our logo in our brand colours?
Yes. We screen print 1 to 4 spot colours, matched to your file or to Pantone references if you give them.
Can we pay by purchase order?
Yes. Schools, councils, NHS trusts and other larger organisations can pay against a purchase order and invoice. Ask us, or see our payment options.
Are promotional bags good for the environment?
Only if they get used. On climate impact, the Environment Agency (2011) found a cotton bag needs 131 uses to match a single-use plastic carrier bag used once, so choose a bag people will want to keep. See are tote bags sustainable?
Is there a minimum order?
No. Prices on each bag page start from 25, and you can type any quantity. Printed bags with no minimum order explains what small runs cost.
