When preparing for an expo or large scale event it is important that the bags you issue to your visitors and staff meet your requirements. After all, tote bags vary considerably in size and depending on what you have planned for your recipients during the day those bags might need to store quite a bit of written material or marketing merchandise. So where do you start?

Gusset or No Gusset

  or 

The biggest question is whether or not you require a tote bag with a gusset. The gusset feature allows for the tote bag to expand considerably which is handy when your recipients have to carry around larger objects that perhaps don't fit nicely into a standard bag without a gusset. However, if you're only handing out documents a gusset (which can add a few cents to the cost of each bag) might not be necessary at all.

Non-Woven or Calico

The other main decision you have to make is what material you'd like your tote bag made out of. Non-woven bags are popular at supermarkets and are available in a huge variety of colours. Many of our non-woven units are also made from recyclable material, so they're not a bad option for nature either. But plenty of people also enjoy the calico option, which are only available in a natural colour. While a little more expensive, the natural material used in calico is popular with recipients and their rustic look is perfect for events going back to basics.

Print Colours

Finally, you need to decide how many colours you would like printed on your bags and whether or not you need printing on both sides of the units. The more colours and positions, the higher the general cost per unit. If you're working on a budget a single colour print is very effective and doesn't break the bank.

So there you have it, the main decisions to work through when you're after promotional tote bags!

These days it seems everywhere you look someone is staring down at a mobile, laptop, iPad or iPod. Technology is everywhere and has completely consumed our lives in one way or another. When your phone dies, how do you feel? It’s almost as though something important has been taken away and you cannot survive without it!

Being stuck with no phone battery is inconvenient and annoying. No matter if it’s at the end of the day on the train home from work or late at night after a big evening out, it still bugs you… unless you have a power bank.

Power banks are pocket sized friends that act as emergency battery chargers for the most popular range of smartphones. When your phone dies, your power bank is there to save the day. You simply plug the charger into your phone and it begins to restore it back to life- no wall sockets needed!

Power banks are our life lifesavers, our knights in shining armour. They come in at the last minute and save you from a life of no texting or Instagram. They are the best because they are smaller than your phone, meaning you are sure to be able to carry them around everywhere you go.

A great feature of power banks is that they can be customised with a family photo, company logo or text. Not only are they handy but they look super trendy alongside your smart phone! And if you’re sick of not being able to get through to your friends because their phones have died, they make for great gift ideas to ensure the communication is always flowing.

These handy guys are great ways to increase your marketing campaign by branding them with your logo. Nearly everyone has a smart phone, so increase your company awareness every time someone pulls out their charger!
