An Insider’s Guide to Durable Reusable Grocery Bags

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
