We are all aware that it is necessary to make our lifestyle and way of work sustainable, both at home and in business. Long-standing habits can be changed gradually, and certain things can be implemented very quickly, with little effort, and still take an important step towards the efficient protection of the environment. One of the ways to achieve this through business is with promotional cotton bags, as they present a sustainable alternative to the most commonly used paper and plastic bags. In addition, they are effective in promoting your company, as users reuse them for private purposes, since they are practical and durable.
In short, cotton bags make a great promotional gift, as they allow for a lot of personalization, and can, at the same time, be used in countless ways. Cotton bags are an excellent choice of gift to give out wherever – at festivals, sporting events, conferences, educational and cultural events, sale campaigns, raffles, and more.
The uses of cotton bags are as diverse as their image. Nowadays, a bag is no longer just a practical accessory for carrying our belongings; instead, it expresses our style, becomes a fashion accessory, an advertising space and, last but not least, the most versatile item that we can carry with us anywhere – shopping cotton bags are an indispensable accessory for quick trips to the store. To avoid the use of plastic carrier bags, it is good to always have them at hand – in the car, in a backpack, in a baby carriage or even in a pocket.
Cotton gift bags perfectly complement a bottle of wine and similar business and personal gifts, since giftees can later on use them for other purposes. In the same way, tote bags are a real hit, as they can be used either for shopping, carrying books to the library or in place of a purse. When we want to promote sustainability and give something super practical, a collapsible cotton bag is therefore a good choice. Due to its convenience and small size, it has become very popular.
Even with textiles, we can choose better and more environmentally friendly options. In today’s range, there are more and more materials that are sustainable, with organic cotton bags presenting one of environmentally most friendly choices.
Cotton bags surprise with an extremely wide range of colours, shapes, and sizes, meaning there exists a perfect bag for every taste and every occasion. They differ in size, thickness, as well as type of material. When choosing a promotional cotton bag, thickness is an important factor, as it directly affects the price of the bag. The thickness is measured in grams per square metre (GSM – grams per square metre), which tells us how heavy a square metre of the material is. The most common bag thicknesses are: 94 g/m, 105 g/m, 140 g/m, 280 g/m, 350 g/m and 400 g/m.
Cotton is a popular material, as it impresses with its breathability, lightness and low maintenance. It’s also a natural material and does not burden the environment. For the most part, promotional cotton bags are made from the following types of cotton: natural cotton, canvas and panama cotton, organic cotton, and recycled cotton. Bags made of two natural materials are also very popular, such as a combination of cotton-jute, cotton-cork, cotton-denim, and others.
In addition, cotton is a material that can be beautifully dyed. Usually, when buying promotional cotton bags, primary colours such as red, yellow, green, blue, black, grey, and white are always available. With certain suppliers, you can also choose to derive basic shades, such as dark and light blue, light and wine red, petrol green, and others.
To promote companies or events, cotton bags can be personalised in various ways. In addition to the material, model, type and colour of the bag, you can choose different printing methods for the graphics and logo, such as screen printing, sublimation or digital printing.
