Branded cotton bags are one of our most popular bag materials, and for good reason. They combine functionality, brand exposure, and durability into one awesome promo item\u2014and people actually keep them!

Let\u2019s break it down a bit more. Here are three solid reasons why you should consider branded cotton bags<\/a> for your next project:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 Your logo will be out there\u2026for a long time! <\/strong>Unlike single use bags, cotton bags are used over and over at grocery stores, events, gyms, more! Guess what happens every time the bag is used? Your messaging gets out into the wild!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

2 The bigger the bag, the larger your logo! <\/strong>Cotton totes typically have large imprint areas. Bold colors, seam to seam designs, and unique messaging are key on these bags, and are sure to get noticed! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 They keep going\u2026and going\u2026and going!\u00a0<\/strong>Cotton is durable. These bags won\u2019t get thrown away. They\u2019ll get reused for a long time, which translates into a great value for your organization\u2019s branding exposure. Plus, whomever carries your bag will think favorably on you when they use it\u2026and they\u2019ll be more likely to tell their friends and colleagues about you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, how do you weigh options for branded cotton bags<\/a>? Good question! You\u2019ve probably noticed that cotton is not created equal. In the bag industry, that\u2019d due largely to the weight of the material the bag is made with. Cotton weight is measured in ounces, and is tied to durability, how much the bag can carry, and of course, cost. Here\u2019s a handy cheat-sheet for you to use:

Lightweight Cotton (aka cotton sheeting, up to 6 oz)<\/strong>: This cotton is thinner and flexible, and perfect for light loads. These bags are typically less expensive and are great for trade show and event giveaways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Midweight Cotton (7 to 10 ounces):<\/strong>\u00a0This is a very popular weight for general daily use. These bags are durable without being too heavy and can tote everyday goods with ease. The modest price point makes this weight our most popular for cotton bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Heavyweight Cotton (12 ounces +):<\/strong>\u00a0This premium cotton is heavy and typically results in more structured bags that retain their shape even when empty. They may also have features like leather handles, zippered pockets, or metal accessory loops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So there you have it! Branded cotton bags<\/a> really should be in your promo merch rotation. And, if you\u2019re looking for another reason to consider them\u2026.we have lots of USA made cotton bags<\/a>!\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
