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

Most cooler bags in this range are made from recycled material rather than virgin plastic. Common fabrics are recycled PET (rPET) spun from post-consumer drinks bottles, recycled polyester, and recycled or natural cotton, with jute and cork-detailed styles too. Many also carry RCS or GRS certification, so the recycled content is independently verified.

Yes. Cooler bags have a large, flat panel that takes a logo well. The most common methods are screen and digital transfer printing for full-colour designs, with screen print, embroidery and laser options on selected styles. The decoration options for each bag are shown on its product page.

The range covers insulated picnic coolers, cooler backpacks, lunch bags, six-can carriers and bottle coolers. Capacities are listed in litres or by the number of cans on each product, and most have a foil or PE insulated lining with a shoulder strap and zip closure.

Insulation performance depends on the bag's lining, size and how it is packed, so it varies across the range. Most styles use a foil or PE foam lining to hold a chill for a typical day out or commute. The materials and dimensions for each bag are listed on its product page.

The main difference is the fabric: recycled rPET or recycled cotton diverts waste from landfill and avoids virgin plastic, and RCS or GRS certification verifies that recycled content. A reusable cooler bag also replaces single-use packaging over its life. We describe the specific material on each product rather than using a blanket eco label.

Minimum order quantities and lead times vary by supplier, bag and decoration method, so we keep them qualitative here. The figures that apply to your order are shown on each product and confirmed when you request a quote.

Branded cooler bags that keep your logo (and the drinks) cool

Cooler bags are one of the most useful items you can put a logo on. They earn their keep at festivals, sports days, client picnics and summer events long after the day is over, which is exactly what makes promotional cool bags such durable branded merchandise. Our range spans insulated picnic coolers, cooler backpacks, lunch bags and six-can carriers up to large multi-can coolers, so you can match the bag to the occasion.

Materials and what makes them sustainable

A large share of this range is made from recycled material rather than virgin plastic. Many bags use recycled PET (rPET) spun from post-consumer drinks bottles, and a good number carry RCS or GRS certification so the recycled content is independently verified, not just claimed. You will also find recycled polyester, recycled and natural cotton, jute and cork-detailed designs. Construction is built to last: a foil or PE inner lining holds the cold, a zip closure keeps contents secure, and most styles add a shoulder strap or grab handle. Capacities are listed in litres or by the number of cans on each product.

Decoration and ordering

Cooler bags brand well across a large print area. The most common methods here are screen and digital transfer printing for full-colour logos, with screen print, embroidery and laser options on selected styles. Minimum order quantities and lead times vary by supplier and decoration, so both are shown on each product and confirmed when you request a quote.
