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.

Frequently asked questions

What are sustainable cooler bags made from?+

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.

Can cooler bags be branded with our logo?+

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.

What types of cooler bag are available?+

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.

How long does a cooler bag keep food and drink cold?+

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.

What makes a cooler bag eco-friendly?+

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.

Is there a minimum order quantity, and what are the lead times?+

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.
