Make a Great First Impression for Your Business with Custom Bags

Swag bags are gifts handed out at events like trade shows, conferences, and awards ceremonies or as a welcome to new students, employees, members, or investors. They consist of a bag which can be anything from a paper gift bag to a backpack, and a variety of goodies within. The bag and the items in it are typically imprinted with a logo or commemorative art design. Swag bags are a tool to express thanks and appreciation, to promote a company, product, or organization, and to create good will. After all, what’s more fun than a mystery bag of surprises? What you put in your swag bags depends on your audience and occasion, but popular choices include promotional items like customized stainless-steel tumblers, tech accessories like phone wallets, chargers and power banks, apparel like hats and t-shirts, water bottles, pens, notebooks, flashlights, and prepackaged snacks.

Many schools event venues require the use of see through bags, totes, and backpacks for security reasons. Retailers and hospitality businesses like spas and hotels will often use transparent bags so that customers and recipients can see the contents of gift sets or toiletry items inside them easily. Crestline has a line of clear customizable bags in every shape and size, ready to display your logo.

Although tote bags are not made to be washed frequently in the same way that clothing items are, you can and should still wash them from time to time. Check the bag’s tag for washing instructions and follow those. If your bag doesn’t have its own cleaning directions, use the following regimen. Empty your bag, pre-treat stains with stain remover, and then either wash by hand or in a washing machine. To wash your tote bag by hand, soak in cold water with a little detergent meant for delicate items for 15-20 minutes, gently scrub with a brush or cloth, rinse thoroughly, then lay flat on a clean dry surface or hang on a clothesline, reshaping the bag as it dries. To wash a tote bag in a washing machine, turn inside out, place inside a pillowcase or mesh laundry bag, and wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. You can also choose promotional tote bags specifically designed to be washed and re-used.

Recycled bags can be made of natural fibers like jute, cotton, paper, or hemp, or can consist of synthetic cloth made from various kinds of plastic.
