Staff Reviews are Back! The Standard Grocery Bag vs. The Non Woven Carry-All

Bulletin Bag Products, Promotion Ideas, Staff Reviews

standard_grocery_bag_80_gsmOur staff reviews are back! Did you miss them? We hope so!  This go around, we’re looking at two popular nonwoven polypropylene grocery bags. At first glance, our Standard Grocery Bag appears to be similar to our Non Woven Carry-All, but they’re really very different bags.

The Standard Grocery Bag is made from 80 GSM nonwoven polypropylene, and has a bottom insert for stability.   The handle construction, with a reinforced band at top (see photo), allows for a wider imprint than some of our other nonwoven polypropylene bags, and you can even specify a PMS color for no additional charge. This bag can also be delivered quickly without rush charges. If you’re on a tight timeframe, we can most likely get this bag to you in time!

#WashYourBags To Win A Bag!

Bulletin Bag Products, Green Issues, Promotion Ideas,

washyourbags-finalRenewed interests in the “studies” claiming reusable grocery bags are causing illness (and even—gasp—death) are driving us crazy. You just can’t believe everything you read—especially when a group with financial interest in the plastic bag industry is involved in its funding and/or administration!   While the plastics industry would like us to believe that going back to single-use plastic bags is the only solution, we all know that reusable bags do NOT cause illness.

To spread the word about washing your reusable bags, Bulletin Bag [.com] is giving away 100 cotton reusable bags!  The rules are simple, and entering will ultimately help the environment. Just tweet your pledge to #WashYourBags to us @baglady207. If you’re not on Twitter yet, just sign up and follow @BagLady207 (that’s us!). C’mon…let’s put an end to scare tactics designed to get us to switch back to plastic bags!

Reusable Cotton Tote Bags: Why We Love Them

Bulletin Bag Products, Promotion Ideas,

thoughtfully_committed_citizens.jpgNow 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.

Reusable Grocery Bags Take Center Stage on December 20

Green Issues, Promotion Ideas, ,

day_without_a_bag.jpgEach year, on the third Thursday in December, Southern California shoppers are urged to forgo plastic shopping bags in favor of reusable grocery bags in an effort to encourage reusable bag use throughout the year. This year, the sixth-annual A Day Without A Bag is on December 20.

Over 9 million residents in California live in communities that have either banned plastic bags or are actively working on bag ban ordinances. When these ordinances pass, nearly 1 in 3 Californians will have embraced reusable bag use!

Sponsored in part by the City and County of Los Angeles, and organized by Heal the Bay, the goals of the annual event are to encourage shoppers to adopt more sustainable practices during the holidays and coming year and to reduce the use of single-use plastic bags throughout California. Each year Heal the Bay partners distribute free reusable grocery bags to patrons throughout the region. A diverse mix of retailers also supports the event through in-store promotions or giveaways at stores countywide.

For more information, visit Heal the Bay‘s website.

Custom Shopping Bags Third Most Popular Promotional Product in 2011

Bulletin Bag Products, Promotion Ideas

paper_plastic_neither_bagLooking for custom shopping bags for your organization? You’re not alone. The Promotional Products Association International has reported that, in the United States, custom reusable bags moved from the fourth to the third largest promotional product segment. Bag sales totaled $1.27 billion in 2011!

We’re not surprised. As more and more towns, cities, and municipalities seek ways to reduce plastic bag consumption, organizations have been running to snap up custom grocery bags to get in the hands of clients and prospects. We’ve been saying for quite a while how great reusable bags are for so many reasons (environmental ones aside).  Custom shopping bags as tradeshow giveaways give loads of exposure at the event, combined with the exposure when the bags are reused over and over–providing impressions every time they’re used. Don’t remember us saying that? Read our blog from back in 2010: https://www.bulletinbag.com/blog/conference-bag-giveaways.html
