1. Why do sellers love to promote their business with promotional bags?
1.1 Promotional bag is cheap
Budgets are limited, and sellers are more likely to use promotional shopping bags, promotional drawstring bags and promotional duffle bags. The gift for promotion is usually ordered in large quantities, lower unit price can reduce the budget.
1.2 Mobile promotion
Do you wonder why Mcdonald’s use paper bag for take-out food? Because the customers will carry the bag everywhere, and the paper cannot be folded too much, the logo on the bag can maintain its shape as long as possible. Then they reach their goal, the longest exposure with the lowest cost. Mcdonald’s secret enlightens us: choose one product that can expose your logo.
Employees carrying bags printed with your logo can promote your company.
1.3 Durable promotional bag leaves a better impression
If the logo is printed on a paper cup, it will be thrown away after being used. Disposable items like paper cups don’t stand up to repeated use and may give customers the wrong impression that your products are not durable. The best solution is to use promotional bags because they are usually of good quality and can be reused, their durability will give your brand and product a better impression, an impression of durability. The subtle influence makes potential customers feel reliable about you and your brand in an invisible way.
2. What kind of bags are suitable for brand promotion
When it comes to suitable bags for promotion, there are two important factors to consider. One is the cost, which we mentioned above.
Another factor is the function, If you give away a promotional bag with few functions, no one will use it, and finally, they’ll throw it away, that’s the last scenario we want to see. Therefore, we recommend our customers choose multi-functional bag products. You may get confused, let me explain: For computer brands, such as Lenovo and Dell, they give users laptop bags printed with their logo, which can meet the needs of customers to protect and carry computers, additionally, the brand can be exposed more. If you are a cosmetic seller, it would be more considerate to give promotional cosmetic bags to users. The user can use it to pack cosmetics and travel to many cities with it, which can promote your brand.
There are many similar products for you to choose from, such as promotional cooler bags, toiletry bags, shopping bags, laundry bags, duffle bags and drawstring bags. If your company has a wide range of businesses, or you want to give them to employees, you can choose to customize some bag products to make your marketing more effective.

3. Who needs a promotional bag?
3.1 Brand sellers
This kind of seller has a wide range of products and a reputation. Or they enjoy good fame in some regions. They select relatively cheap promotional bags to contain their products. Lunch box, laptop and sports equipment. Take sports equipment as an example, yoga mat is generally equipped with a storage bag, the bag will expose your brand while enhancing user experience.
A more extreme example: in some countries, some customers will keep shopping bags after buying clothing & shoes like Nike and Adidas. They will carry the shopping bag when hanging out as a fashion item. That is to say, the brand effect can be maximized in promotional shopping bags.
Such modes of marketing are often seen in food, cosmetics, luggage case and retail business.
3.2 Public Welfare Organizations
Many public welfare organizations and charity works donate backpacks to children in poverty. Although these are not high-grade backpacks, they are durable, simple and low-cost. Charity organizations can use the limited funds to help more children. We produced backpacks for UNICEF and helped many poor children in Africa.
3.3 Sports League
From local sports leagues to large international sports teams, every league has its own iconic logo or figure. They are in need of a promotional duffle bag, it’s cheap enough but possesses the required function: waterproof, durable, portable and large capacity. A well-organized club wear uniform clothes and bag to show they are professionals.
3.4 Activities
Shopping malls are always in big promotions, they like to give out cheap promotional shopping bags or drawstring bags. Even the campaign activity will choose this: they put some little gifts and flyers in the bags and give them out to people.
4. What kind of logo customization can we do?
4.1 Silk printing
The most versatile printing method. Can be used on almost all textile products, bright colors, and fadeless. The cost of silk printing is mainly determined by the number of colors and printing area. If your budgets are very limited, then silk print single colored logo.
Another advantage of silk printing is its high efficiency. If you are preparing promotional bags for peak sales season, the silk printing process must be your first choice.
4.2 Heat transfer printing
Similar to silk printing, many customers will find it hard to see the differences between the two. Heat transfer printing is a new printing technique, with bright colors, no color difference, clear pattern. Heat transfer printing is now the most popular printing method in mass production. If your LOGO or pattern color is very much, it is recommended to use heat transfer printing, so that the cost is lower than silk printing. The disadvantage is: over time, the surface of the LOGO will chap or fall off, just like printed T-shirts.
4.3 Woven label
A woven label is also known as a woven trademark label. Widely used in clothing, shoes and hats, home textiles, crafts and other products. It can be made of various types of yarn so that it can be washed and endure high temperatures.
4.4 Embroidery logo
Embroidery LOGO is more commonly seen on T-shirts and hoodies, which is more sophisticated. Embroidery can be multi-colored, the more color, the higher the cost. The embroidery will make your LOGO stand out.
Unlike traditional embroidery, embroidered badges are easier to match with promotional bags, and finished bags can also be labeled with embroidery labels. An embroidered badge is helpful for solving the trouble that the customer does not reach the lowest order quantity. In terms of logistics, there is no need to send the whole batch to the factory for processing, which also greatly saves the freight.

Bag factories in China generally can provide sample-making services. The purpose of making a bag sample is to show the effect and defects of the product, the customer and the designer can check the bag before putting it into mass production. After checking out the sample, the factory can improve the bag products based on customers’ needs. Also, some customers want to check the sample to see if the product is well enough as expected. Samples can test the production level of a bag factory and their skills in solving problems.

The time of sample making can be different according to different customization requirements. Most of the promotional bag samples can be delivered to your place in 7-10 work days.
7. How long does it take to receive the products?
The time of delivery is settled on the basis of purchase quantity and the complexity of production. That is to say, if the structure of the promotional bag is complex and required a large quantity, then the time of production will be longer, otherwise, it’ll be shorter.
Logistics: there are 3 ways for you.
Sea transportation charges the lowest but it’s the slowest. Customers who purchase large quantities and have enough time had better choose sea transportation because it can reduce shipping costs.
Air transportation charges the highest but it’s the quickest. Suitable for customers who place urgent and small quantity orders.
Land transportation charges medium and requires medium time. It has an advantage that others don’t have: they can deliver the goods to the assigned place, which we called express service. But its disadvantage is inevitable: they can’t drive vehicles across the sea.
