Promotional Ideas for Custom Reusable Bags
ChicoBag Produce Bags: Product Review
Suzette is very excited that we are now offering ChicoBag produce bags!
After testing a multitude of options, the ChicoBag produce bags are by far the best quality we’ve seen. The main feature that makes the ChicoBag produce bags superior is the durability of the drawstring closure. The drawstring seam on other mesh produce bags we’ve tested started to come apart after a few uses. However, Suzette has been using her ChicoBag produce bags for 1-2 YEARS (with weekly use and regular washing), and they still look as good as new!
The smaller ChicoBag Mini Mesh Produce Bag can fit about 4-5 apples, a large handful of green beans, a bundle of broccoli, or other smaller items.
The larger ChicoBag Produce Stand (available now but not yet on our site) is perfect for larger items like bananas. Suzette likes to use this bag to group together ‘loose’ produce, like peppers, zucchini, cucumbers, apples in one larger bag. When checking out, she keeps the bag out for the end, removes the items so the cashier can ring them in separately, then puts them back inside the bag as they are finished.
There are other styles of ChicoBag produce bags, but we are currently only offering the styles that are mesh on one side and solid (rePETE) on the other side. We feel that the mesh is preferable to the solid since the cashier can easily see the contents of the bag, making it easier at check out.
Almost every time Suzette uses these bags the cashiers and baggers compliment her on them and ask where she got them. While the trend hasn’t completely caught on with most mainstream consumers, we believe this product category will grow immensely in the coming years.
Once you’ve kicked the plastic bag habit at the check out line, you start to notice how many plastic bags you are still using in the produce department. Using high quality reusable produce bags can easily eliminate these single use plastic bags. With a little advanced planning you can quickly get in the habit of bringing your own produce bags to the store as well! As someone who is passionate about reducing plastic wherever possible, we think these produce bags are fantastic!
Top Ten Customized Reusable Bags of 2014
Our customized reusable bags are designed to be custom. Unique. Different. Because no two projects are created equally. However, in 2014, time and again our clients gravitated towards the same reusable bags to put their messaging on.
Like each project, these bags each have unique characteristics. However, they share one commonality: they are decidedly the most popular customized reusable bags of 2014.

Want an Insulated Reusable Bag at a Great Price? Our Therm-o-Tote Fits the Bill
We love the insulated, durable Therm-o-Tote. Seriously. It’s such a great bag that you would think it would come at a higher price.
The Therm-o-tote is constructed in a similar fashion to our Big Thunder Grocery Tote. Both feature 100 gsm nonwoven polypropylene for strength and full wraparound handles for durability. Both also have a bottom insert.
Pair all of that with an insulated lining, and you have a great bag for grocery shopping, picnics, the beach—or anywhere you need to keep food or drink warm or cold. Our staff reviewer uses the Therm-o-Tote insulated reusable bag for all of the above! Just don’t forget to wash it inside-out in warm, soapy water or spray the inside and wipe it down.
