Case study

Event merch that became a brand moment for Legl

Legl wanted giveaways that drew people to their stand and had a story behind them. So they swapped high volumes of standard freebies for a smaller range of premium merch: bamboo notebooks, branded artisan chocolate and power banks built to last.

The merch acted as a real conversation starter. People were drawn to the stand and curious to hear the story behind the products. We noticed higher footfall, more meaningful conversations and a greater number of follow-ups post-event compared to previous years.

Sustainability rating

Every product graded, and we show our working

Most suppliers put an eco label on part of their range without saying what earns it. We check every product against five criteria, and the number it meets sets its grade. This marketplace lists the products that meet at least two.

  • Eco-Friendly Materials Plus
  • Eco-Friendly Materials
  • Upcycling
  • Responsible Manufacturing
  • Positive Supply Chain Impact
  • AA4 or 5 criteria metMeets almost everything we look for
  • A3 criteria metStrong on materials and on how it was made
  • B2 criteria metClears our bar on two independent counts
  • C1 criterion metOne point in its favour, and no more. We only sell this if no viable alternatives are available.
  • D0 criteria metNothing we can evidence. We don't sell this.

Questions? We've got you covered

The range covers tote bags, backpacks, cooler bags, drawstring bags, laptop bags and sleeves, and duffel and sports bags, plus toiletry and smaller carry bags. Use the Browse by type links to go straight to the style you need, or filter the full range here.

Many of our bags are made from recycled materials, including recycled cotton and canvas and RPET woven from recycled plastic bottles, with a number of lines certified to the Global Recycled Standard. You will also find natural fibres such as jute alongside organic cotton. The exact material is listed on each product.

Branding depends on the bag and the material. Cotton and canvas bags are usually screen or transfer printed, heavier bags can be embroidered, and premium finishes can be debossed or foil blocked. The available decoration methods are shown on each product and confirmed when you request a quote.

Minimum order quantities vary by product and by the decoration method you choose. The minimum is shown on each product page, and we confirm it along with pricing when you request a quote.

Lead times depend on the bag, the branding and the order size. Indicative timings are shown on each product, and we confirm a firm lead time when you request a quote so you can plan around your event or deadline.

Recycled cotton, canvas and RPET bags are made to be reused, which is part of why they work well as promotional merchandise: a bag that lasts keeps your logo in circulation. Weights and capacities differ by style, so check the specification on each product for the use you have in mind.

Yes. Alongside our own certified B Corp status, the range includes bags from certified B Corp brands such as Bellroy, so you can choose products held to the same standard as the marketplace that curates them.

Sustainable branded bags for events, swag and corporate gifting

Recycled and eco branded bags are some of the hardest-working items in promotional merchandise. A printed tote or backpack carries your logo far beyond the event it was handed out at, and a reusable bag earns its keep instead of ending up in a drawer. Our range spans everyday shoppers and totes through to backpacks, cooler bags and laptop bags, chosen so a buyer can match the bag to the budget, the occasion and the sustainability brief.

Materials and decoration

Sustainability here is specific, not a label. A large part of the range is made from recycled materials: recycled cotton and canvas, and RPET woven from recycled plastic bottles, with a number of lines certified to the Global Recycled Standard. You will also find natural fibres such as jute alongside organic cotton. Bags are branded to suit the material and the run, from screen and transfer printing on cotton and canvas to embroidery on heavier bags and deboss or foil block on premium finishes. Minimum order quantities and lead times vary by product and decoration, so both are shown on each product and confirmed when you request a quote.

Why buy from Social Supermarket

Our bags are curated by Social Supermarket, a certified B Corp, chosen for recycled and renewable materials with supplier credentials we check rather than take on trust. The range includes products from certified B Corp brands such as Bellroy, so you can brief a sustainable bag with confidence. Whether you need budget totes for a conference or a considered backpack for a welcome pack, you can compare options across the range and request a quote for branding, quantities and delivery.
