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

New Tote Bags Made in USADid 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

Laminated Whole Foods Bags: Yes, We Can!

Laminated Whole Foods Bags“You know those laminated Whole Foods bags? Do you make those?” We have a lot of conversations that start out this way. (Psst…the answer is yes!). Bulletin Bag currently offers custom laminated bags in 13 stock sizes, and with several material options (some are even insulated). Additionally, we can make any of our custom bags in ANY shape, size, or material!

Remember that the lead-time is much longer for these bags than for our stock bags. What’s the difference? Stock bags have an imprint area that your art needs to print within, while custom laminated bags print from seam to seam on all surfaces of the bag. The minimum order quantity is 3000 bags for custom laminated bags, but the end result is worth it for a lot of clients. After all, it’s your messaging in full color, on all surfaces of the bag! Continue reading

Five [Other] Uses for Custom Laminated Bags

Custom Laminated BagsWhether purchased in small quantities of 100, or fully customized and ordered by the thousands, custom laminated bags are popular items around here! The smooth, shiny feel of the material combines with bright logos and bold colors appeal to a wide range of marketers and retail stores alike (check out our client’s bag to the left!). Plus, since lamination is slick, it’s easier to clean that an uncoated bag made from the same material (simply wipe it down with a wet cloth or disinfectant spray).

Our custom laminated bags are made using woven polypropylene, nonwoven polypropylene, or recycled PET and come in many different sizes, colors, and materials. This is great for the purpose of making your logo pop for a reusable bag project, but what happens after you give the bag away? Likely, they are reused, perhaps as a grocery bag. After all, the laminated coating allows the rectangular bag to better maintain its shape, which enables easier packing at checkout.

But there are lots of other uses for custom laminated bags once you’re done using them. Here are our favorite five ways to repurpose them: Continue reading
