Staff Picks: Recycled Custom Bags & Backpacks

By Dean Schwartz: Our clients have always wanted the best of the best when it comes to SWAG, but that’s not really something we’d consider ‘news.’ Frankly, that’s what they should expect from us – we’ve built our reputation on it. But one thing that has changed is their interest and concern in getting SWAG from sources that show some love to the environment, too – hence the ‘green movement’ and so many others like it.

Well, we’re up on that, too. This week, we want to show you some of our best SWAG in the realm of bags and backpacks that just so happen to be recycled. Truth be told, we wonder if you’d even notice if we hadn’t pointed it out. Take a look and let us know which ones are your favorites – you’re just a phone call away from getting your paws on any of these!

PET Laminate Tote: It’s got a basic use, sure, but it’s anything but ordinary when you get the SOBO customization that you’re dreaming up. With four colors to pick from – orange, black, green or blue – along with the option for an additional color and an imprint of your choice, these totes are versatile, easy to ‘tote around,’ and affordable, too. Grocery shopping, anyone? Order quantities start as low as 100, and they can be had for $3.75 per piece.

Owl 100% Recycled Felt Business Tote: This thing would be awesome even if it weren’t made from any number of the 51 billion plastic bottles that are recycled each year. But it is, so you can see what it’s easily one of our favorites. It’s got everything – color pops that show off organizational features, a Velcro tab closure and contrast dual handles, made available in black, green, orange, red or royal blue. And the imprint customizations and additional color opportunities are mind-blowing. It might be the coolest bag on our list. Quantities start at 48, and can be had from $11.78 per piece, up to 600 and up for just $7.98 per piece.

 Arches Recycled PET Cinch Bag: Cinch bags are ubiquitous these days, but often times, their affordability comes at a price – they can fall apart quickly. Not the case with this cinch bag, made from 51% post-consumer recycled materials. It’s got more curves than your favorite sports car, and it’s built to last, too. Here are the features: a spacious main compartment, a drawstring design for over-the-shoulder carrying, or backpack carrying, a front mesh beverage pocket, and a spacious imprint that can handle multiple colors and imprints, as well as embroidery. We love this one for a number of reasons, but chief among them is our ability to customize it with an endless array of our creative executions. Quantities start at 48 with a per piece cost of $12.52, but orders of 600 or more bring the per price cost down to $8.48.
