When to order the branded bags for your event?

If you are looking for standard “off the shelf” bag with your logo placed in the centre of the print area you can actually leave it as late as 5 days before although we would not recommend leaving anything that is needed for an event until the last minute With promotional products we always recommend starting the search as soon as possible. 10-8 weeks ahead is ideal to give you the chance to receive any plain samples you may need and to approve digital mock ups Having the goods a few days before the event gives you total peace of mind

What sort of branding is available on promotional bags?

There are a few ways to brand promotional bags, including:

● Screen print (one or both sides)

● Transfer print (good for multi coloured logos)

● Embroidery (for a more subtle look)
