Custom Printed Pouches: The New “It Bag”

Uncategorized
Custom Printed Pouches: Full Color Ripstop Zipper Pouch

When people think of custom bags, the typical shopping bag usually comes to mind. But you may want to start to consider bags on a, well, smaller scale. From brand names to small businesses, conferences to weddings, we see more and more clients choose custom printed pouches!

Why? Of course, it’s hard to know for sure. We have some ideas, though. A pouch isn’t just a bag, it becomes a permanent home for particular items.  While a custom tote bag gets rotated in and out with other favorite bags, a well-designed custom printed pouch stays on a vanity, in a gym bag, or inside a laptop tote, providing your brand with high-frequency visibility in the mind of the recipient.

Here is why you should consider “going small” with custom printed pouches:

Custom Recycling Bin Bags: Recycling Law Changes Make Them a Must-have

Custom Recycling Bin Bags

If you live in the Pacific Northwest, you’ve likely heard that Oregon’s recycling system is getting its biggest makeover in decades. The Plastic Pollution and Recycling Modernization Act (RMA) is changing the way recycling is handled. Maine, California, Colorado, and Minnesota are also changing up their recycling practices.

Enter our Custom Recycling Bin Bags. Designed to educate users and corral household recycling, these bags are produced in bulk in any size, with vibrant full color printing on all exterior surfaces. They feature a wipe-clean surface and a bottom handle to make it easier to lift and empty the contents. We have been offering these bags for several years, but in 2026 they are hotter than ever. Here’s why:

The End of Quality Custom Reusable Bags? Not So Fast!

Promotion Ideas, ,
Quality custom reusable bags hotter than ever!

Is the era of the promo giveaway ending? Well, maybe. Consumers aren’t responding to free stuff as much as gravitating towards products that are useful, sustainable and integrate into their daily lives. That’s ok, though, because quality custom reusable bags are all of those things!

In the past, giveaways were judged by their novelty. However, novelty has gradually been replaced by utility and purpose. If a product doesn’t solve a daily friction point or align with a recipient’s values, it is perceived as clutter rather than as a gift.

An Insider’s Guide to Durable Reusable Grocery Bags

Bulletin Bag Products, Promotion Ideas,

We’ve been in the bag business for a long time and we’ve seen it all.  We have mentioned time and time again, you aren’t just buying a bag; you are buying a walking billboard. And if that billboard rips in the parking lot, your brand image rips with it.

We have all been there. You get a free bag at a conference or a checkout counter. You use it once, the handle snaps or the seam rips, so it goes straight into the trash. When you opt for the cheapest possible bag, you are essentially paying for your logo to be thrown away.

Quality matters! Ensuring that you are buying durable reusable grocery bags is just as important as the artwork you print on them. When you invest in quality, you are purchasing impressions. A high-quality bag gets reused 50, 100, even 500 times. That is thousands of eyes on your logo for pennies per view. The strategy behind buying durable reusable grocery bags is about maximizing that lifespan. You want your bag to be the “favorite” one—the one they dig for in the trunk because they know it won’t fail them. 

This idea is one of the cornerstones of Bulletin Bag. It’s a huge reason why we hand pick every single bag we sell, and test them out ourselves before we commit to selling them to you.

Five Branded Promo Merch Trends for 2026

Promotion Ideas,
