from custom tees to custom bags

Custom bags don’t always begin their lives as bags. In today’s society some of the cutest, most innovative bags are up-cycled from other everyday items. Old t-shirts are some of the most common mediums for recycled custom bags. Because of the durable nature of apparel, old clothing can easily be cut, stitched and otherwise reworked into a fashionable new bag or tote. Keep this premise in mind when considering buying a new bag. Are you feeling crafty? Consider designing your own bag out of those old blue jeans buried in the bottom of your drawer. Artsy not your middle name? There are tons of places to buy these one of a kind products. Just keep an eye out and your mind open. The options for creativity are endless!

custom bags to collect the fruits of your labor

Yum! Berries. One of my favorite parts of the spring. The blueberries are just about ready for the picking here in Georgia, and I cannot wait. Luckily I have plenty of custom bags ready to collect the abundance of blueberries that are beginning to blossom in the gigantic bush in my parents’ backyard. With some custom bags available with a laminate finish, and other machine washable options available, I don’t have to worry about a little blueberry juice ruining my bag. So with my collection bag in hand, I’m ready to begin the harvest. Can’t wait to bake a pie. Or maybe a cobbler…

the swan and the custom bag

There is something so elegant about a white swan, gliding across a lake. The slight ripple of the water and the beautiful white feathers that cover the bird: it truly is a sight. However when that bird is in full flight, crossing the lake, headed straight for you and your custom bags full of slightly stale bread, that graceful beauty can quickly be replaced by a feeling of fear. A swan is one big bird, with one big squawk. And when that massive bird is swooping in with the promise of a snack, I wouldn’t hesitate throwing him a nibble or two. The moral of my story? Use your custom bags to tote your feed, but watch out for the swan!

park + custom bag + sun = a great day!

Here in Atlanta, spring is in full swing with the hot summer weather nipping at it’s heals. As the trees turn green and the Azalea’s bloom, it’s hard not to think about being outside, strolling through the park with my custom bag over my arm. Of course in reality, my summer vacation is still several months away. However in the bustling business world, April is the perfect time to plan for your summer promotional events. From charity walks and runs to corporate picnics and summer vacations, early planning is the key to a successful event. Consider giving your employees and customers custom bags in return for their participation. They’ll love them and you’ll love the brand exposure.
