Tote Bags Made in the USA, At Crazy Awesome Prices!

March 7, 2017Bulletin Bag ProductsCotton, USA MadeBulletin Bag

Did you know that in some industries, more than 97% of production is done overseas. We find a similar pattern in the custom bag industry. It can be faster and less expensive to crank bags out overseas than to keep the production here in the USA, and everyone loves lower prices. Plus, it can be hard (or impossible) to source certain raw materials in the USA. These factors have typically add up to a more expensive bag, but it’s all the more reason why we’re extra excited to offer FIVE new, budget-friendly tote bags made in the USA!

Our USA made bags are typically higher-quality than comparable bags made overseas (notice we said comparable…check sizes and cotton weights to make sure you’re comparing apples to apples), and come with stories of the real-life people behind the bags (like our Tradewinds Custom Canvas Tote, which is made by people with disabilities).

While many of our clients who want USA-made bags know to expect to pay a premium, we also see that the made in USA “must-have” check-box is the first to go away when faced with budget limitations. But that’s changing…starting now! You CAN check off the USA box and keep your budget intact! Continue reading →

Reusable Cotton Tote Bags: Why We Love Them

March 8, 2013Bulletin Bag Products, Promotion Ideas#WashYourBags, CottonBulletin Bag

Now that our #WashYourBags Twitter campaign is underway, we wanted to share why we chose a cotton bag for our giveaway item.

Cotton is by far our favorite reusable bag material, in part because cotton is machine washable and dryer safe. And, since we know you’re washing your reusable bags regularly, it’s doesn’t get much easier than that! Cotton is also a strong, durable, renewable resource that is widely available in the USA and abroad.

We have chosen to give away our Made in USA Cotton Canvas Bag because it exemplifies our message about always cleaning your reusable bags, and because our USA-made reusable bags are of exceptional quality.

Election Year is Here: Political Campaign Giveaways

February 2, 2012Bulletin Bag Products, Green IssuesCotton, Printing Ideas, USA MadeBulletin Bag

The new year is in full swing and that’s exciting news if you’re part of a political campaign. It also means that there’s less than a year to make sure your campaign gets maximum exposure. Want an easy, cost-effective way to do that? Whether you’re part of a national, state, or local campaign, reusable bags (made in the USA or overseas) are an easy way to give your name high visibility.

Reusable bags are gaining popularity nationwide, both as the environmentally correct choice and because government entities have begun to recognize the financial impact that plastic bags have–and are subsequently imposing taxes, fees, and bans. This means that people are using reusable grocery bags more than ever, and if your message is on the side of it, others will see it as well. People may tie your name to eco-friendly practices and formulate favorable name recognition.

Every week we pick two of our reusable bags and have our staff members put them through the wringer. We’ll comment on the outcomes here (and encourage our clients to do the same!). This week, we’ve chosen two great canvas grocery bags: Full Sized Recycled Cotton Market Bag and Full Size Organic Market Bag. In addition, these two bags are on sale until the end of the month!

We love canvas shopping bags because they are strong, durable, and natural. Canvas reusable bags can be machine washed with regular laundry in cold water. Best of all, our wholesale canvas bags provide the ideal ‘canvas’ for logo printing. Custom shopping bags like these also have high perceived value, making them a great vehicle for your branding.
