Introduction

When it comes to branded merchandise, bags are one of the most versatile and high-impact items you can invest in. They travel with you everywhere; to the gym, the beach, the office, and beyond, putting your brand in front of new eyes every single day. Whether you're planning an activation, launching a merch line, or just looking for a giveaway that people will actually use, the right bag can do a lot of heavy lifting. Here are our current favorite picks and the types of brands we think they're perfect for.

Explore Cooler Bag

Why We Like It: 100% Customizable, and a great way to show off your branding on the go.

Brands This is Good For: Brands holding outdoor activations, activewear/sports brands, drink brands, and brands with demographics that prioritize leisure.

Lux Micro Mesh Tote

Why We Like It: It's a breathable tote perfect for the beach or gym. Since it has high visibility, it makes it easy to organize and not hard to find what you need quickly.

Brands This is Good For: Brands holding outdoor activations, activewear/sports brands, water sports brands, and brands with demographics that like to get outside.

Landscape Crossbody - 4 Color Process Nylon

Why We Like It: This crossbody is made out of a nylon taslan material, which is lightweight and abrasion-resistant, just like some of your favorite outdoorsy active apparel. Since this bag is decorated using a 4 color process, more customization with artwork isn’t a conflict.

Brands This is Good For: Brands holding event activations, retail brands that want to create their own line of merch, music festivals and music-related events, beauty/skincare companies, and brands with Gen Z demographics.

Doppelganger - 4CP Pigment Dyed Canvas

Why We Like It: This Dopp kit is made out of durable canvas material that can be pigment-dyed from edge to edge. It allows your brand to create something that feels like it was made for your brand event, though it is on a bag that was already produced.

Brands This is Good For: Beauty/skincare brands, travel agencies/airlines, hotels and Airbnbs, and brands targeting people who travel frequently for both work and leisure.
