Your business will be going places when you put your logo on one of the best promotional bag giveaways for 2024. Melanie, a bag specialist in our merchandising department, provided her top picks for eye-catching and value-packed logoed bags that make great gifts for staff, loyal customers and valued vendors.
“These four bag styles are rooted in the hands-free, grab-and-go lifestyle trend, and they’re sure to be popular in 2024,” Melanie said. They provide casual, comfortable carry options to make trips easier. Most options are big enough to hold daily essentials, yet small enough for short trips, quick business lunches or meetings with friends, she noted.
Versatile crossbody bag giveaways
“Fueled by the desire to travel lightly and simplistically, smaller crossbody bags make great gifts and event swag you can be sure will get worn,” Melanie said. “Many popular retail brands are introducing similar styles.”
One of the most versatile choices is the Convertible Crossbody Bag. Depending on how the adjustable shoulder strap is attached, it can be worn across the chest or back. Remove the strap completely, and it can be used as an organizer travel pouch.
Clear bags are convenient for travelers at airline checkpoints and anyone attending events at large venues. Your traveling customers and staff will appreciate the useful Clear Crossbody Bag, which has a removable, adjustable shoulder strap.
Upgraded drawstring sportpacks
Drawstring sportpacks have been a staple promo and event bag giveaway for years—whether to promote a local fun run, back-to-school event or job fair. “This upgraded style of sportpack uses heavier or more durable materials and offers an elevated look while still providing a lightweight carry. The open compartment and cinch closure allow for easy loading and unloading,” Melanie said.
The heathered, recycled polyester construction of The Goods Drawstring Sportpack provides a neutral backdrop that helps your logo pop. The front pocket has a hook-and-loop closure, and a side mesh pocket is perfect for a phone or sunglasses. The Tahoma Drawstring Sportpack is made of durable recycled polyester with a mesh pocket on each side for frequently used items. Your brand looks sharp on the front of this customized pack!
Hands-free slingpacks
“Move over, belt bags, fanny packs and waist packs: Slingpacks are the new must-have everyday carry bag,” Melanie said. “Hands-free has been a bag trend for a few years now, and while belt bags are also primarily worn crossbody, slingpacks provide you with additional room to hold your gear and usually a more comfortable shoulder strap.”
While backpacks have two shoulder straps, most slingpacks have just one strap, which is generally wider. Slingpacks are also less bulky than backpacks, which makes traveling a breeze. Convertible models allow double straps to be connected for the best of both worlds.
The Mystic Sling Bag is a stylish way to carry work or school supplies. The Kapston Town Square Convertible Sling can be worn as a backpack by using both straps. Zip the straps together, and it becomes a slingpack. It features a padded sleeve that fits up to a 10″ tablet and is made of durable 900-denier polyester twill to keep your logo out there for years.
Promotional cooler backpacks
With spring on the horizon, a lot of people are planning to hit the great outdoors. Backpack coolers offer a hands-free way to carry food and beverages while on the go. “Your hands are free to take pictures, look at directions on your phone or eat a snack while en route to your next location,” Melanie explained. Soft-side cooler backpacks are also less bulky than traditional coolers and easier to store.
Our exclusive Crossland® Backpack Cooler is loaded with features. Foam insulation provides excellent temperature retention, and the leak-resistant PEVA lining is removable for easy cleaning. The large 24-can capacity makes it ideal for parties and events. A slightly smaller backpack cooler gift is the Aviana Mini Backpack Cooler. It holds 12 cans in its foam-insulated main compartment. It also features adjustable shoulder straps for comfortable carrying.
