Branded bags are one of the most cost-effective ways to promote your business at events and exhibitions: they put your name in front of new audiences, act as walking advertising around the venue, and give visitors a practical, reusable item that keeps your brand in view long after the event. With a fast turnaround and low minimum order quantities, custom printed bags are easy to organise even at short notice.
Here are the main benefits of using custom printed bags at your next promotional event or exhibition.
Why are branded bags good for advertising at events?
A printed bag gets your brand message in front of new potential customers without being pushy. Decide on the key message you want to land and build your design around it. Because visitors carry your bags around the venue, your name travels far beyond your own stand, helping you reach more people and generate buzz.

What should you print on a promotional event bag?
Alongside your logo and brand colours, give people a way to reach you. Include your social media handles and contact details, and consider a QR code linked to your website so visitors can find out more in a tap. The easier you make it to connect, the more value each bag delivers after the event.
Can you get branded bags printed quickly and in small quantities?
Yes. With our Priority Production service we can turn orders around in 3 to 5 business days from proof approval, so there is no need to worry about cutting it fine before an event. With quantities starting from as low as 120 pieces, custom printed bags suit smaller budgets too, so you will not be left with hundreds of extras you do not need. If your event is retail or food focused, our guide to making your packaging stand out has further ideas.
