Materials That Keep Things Cold
Polyester Options
Most of our range uses durable polyester in 210D, 420D, or 600D weights, with higher numbers indicating heavier-duty construction. Cooler bags branded in 600D polyester can handle frequent use and heavier loads without tearing or degrading. Interior linings use PEVA (BPA-free) or aluminium foil to reflect heat, with foam padding between outer shell and inner lining for insulation. The material resists moisture, accepts screen printing or transfer printing well, and comes in numerous configurations from simple six-can designs to multi-compartment formats with mesh pockets and adjustable straps.
Eco-Friendly Materials
RPET (recycled polyester) options reuse 7-8 plastic bottles per bag, performing identically to virgin polyester while showing environmental commitment. Cork custom cooler bags use natural material harvested without harming trees, providing natural insulation and developing attractive patina over time. Recycled paper woven bags offer lightweight alternatives that fold flat, while cotton options in 225-330g/m² weights provide classic, timeless appearance with natural insulation properties.
Sizes and Capacities
Six-can bags (3L capacity, roughly 200 x 140 x 125mm) are perfect for individual lunches and fit easily in car boots or under desks, making them perfect for staff gifts or trade show giveaways.
Medium capacity bags (9-13L) can accommodate 12 cans plus ice packs or substantial food portions, often including multiple compartments and both top handles and shoulder straps.
Large capacity personalised cooler bags (16-25L) work for group picnics or camping trips, holding eight 1.5L bottles with reinforced bases, padded straps, and multiple access points.
Picnic backpack formats include complete service sets with cutlery, plates, glasses, napkins, and removable blankets in dedicated compartments.
Customisation and Cooler Bag Printing
Our printed cooler bags can handle various branding methods depending on material. Screen printing works well for simple logos in one or two colours, while transfer printing can handle complex artwork and photographic images.
Embroidery adds tactile dimension and premium feel, particularly on cotton or cork materials. Most bags offer substantial branding areas on front panels, side gussets, or dedicated white panels designed for maximum logo visibility. Cooler bag printing placement matters. You can do it on front pockets which provide highly visible locations while the side panels offer secondary branding opportunities.
Customisation goes beyond decoration to include handle colours, zip pullers, trim details, and interior lining colours to match corporate branding. We can also do fully bespoke constructions with custom dimensions and compartment layouts, though this requires higher minimum order quantities. Our printing services can help ensure consistent quality across bulk orders.
Who Uses Cooler Bags Branded With Logos?
Food and Beverage Businesses - Restaurants, cafes, delis, and food delivery services use custom cooler bags for takeaway orders and customer loyalty programmes. Breweries, wineries, and beverage companies hand them out at tastings and festivals, with the bags becoming part of the product experience people associate with enjoyable outdoor occasions.
Outdoor and Leisure Brands - Camping suppliers, outdoor equipment retailers, and adventure tourism companies can provide brand cooler bags that align perfectly with customer lifestyles. Beach resorts and coastal attractions distribute bags that guests can use during visits then take home, reinforcing holiday experiences with every subsequent beach trip.
Sports and Fitness - Sports clubs, gyms, and fitness centres give cooler bags branded with logos to members for post-workout nutrition or match day refreshments. Athletes who prioritise nutrition appreciate bags that keep meal prep fresh during commutes or training sessions.
Corporate Gifting - Companies use promotional cooler bag items for summer team building events, outdoor client entertaining, or employee appreciation. Quality bags show you value practical gifts people genuinely use rather than token items that get stored away.
Events and Festivals - Festival organisers, concert venues, and outdoor event producers distribute bags as VIP perks or sponsor giveaways. Conference organisers include promotional cooler bags in delegate packs for summer events, creating memorable welcome gifts that serve practical purposes.
Seasonal Campaigns - Summer promotional campaigns naturally align with cooler bag distribution for beach trips, barbecues, and outdoor concerts. Christmas corporate gifts sometimes include bags for clients who entertain over holidays, paired with premium food hampers.
