Key Information

At Steel City, we approach exhibition bags with the same mindset as you do when planning for show day: they have to carry weight, keep their shape, print perfectly, and arrive exactly when you need them.

When you’re setting up a stand, you need a bag that just works. Our choices focus on quality to avoid the issues you might see on-site – like split seams, sore shoulders, scruffy paper carriers, or artwork that doesn’t look quite right.

Fast-turnaround lines: We know lead times are a popular question, so our team keeps a shortlist of bags that can run on 5, 6, or 7 working-day schedules from proof approval. This helps avoid that last-minute panic and ensures you get stock on-site without having to switch to something flimsy just to hit the deadline.
Proof-first print control: We always provide a visual proof to show print size and placement before we run anything. This step stops cropped artwork, off-centre logos, or colours that shift against your brand guidelines. It allows you to sign off the position once, then keep your branding aligned across the full order.
Shoulder-carry comfort: We prioritise deeper gussets and longer handles because that format keeps brochures upright and stops a tote twisting once it’s got weight in it. It keeps the carry comfortable enough that people will keep it on their shoulder – acting as a walking billboard while they walk the hall.
Spill-proof upgrades: Our range includes zipped tops and tougher fabrics because open totes can spill when someone stuffs in a catalogue, a bottle, and a laptop. This choice reduces split seams and keeps everything safe when you’re moving between stands, meetings, and transport.
Traceable recycled fibres: It’s really important not to greenwash, so we pick lines with standards like GRS and OEKO-TEX, and traceability systems such as AWARE™ where available. This paperwork ensures you have the full traceability of that product and proves you are paying for genuine sustainable fibres.
UK-made paper carriers: Our team includes UK-made laminated paper carriers with rope handles and gloss or matt finishes. We do this because thin paper creases fast and looks tired after one handover. The stiffer build keeps edges crisp and ensures the quality is perceived as really strong when you’re giving packs to decision-makers.
Print route options: We keep both bold 1-colour branding and full-colour/CMYK options in the mix because you don’t hand out bags the same way to everyone. That range lets you choose fast, readable prints for volume days, or campaign artwork and QR codes when the design needs more space to tell a story.

The products shown above are our starting point standards for lead time, print control, and carry performance – but if you need a different size, handle, closure, or material, we can source alternatives that fit your deadline and budget.

Long-handle rPET carry: We suggest the Non Woven Cotton Shopper – 1 Colour because the 5-day lead time and GRS-certified rPET 80gsm fabric let you order late without ending up with a bag that tears. The longer handles make it easy to keep on your shoulder while collecting brochures.
Zip-top pack security: Our team uses the Panama Zipped Tote Bag – 1 Colour because the 20-litre, 600D polyester build and zip stop corners of catalogues poking out and ripping the top edge. That closure keeps your handouts together when you’re moving between stands, taxis, and trains.
Gusseted canvas shape: We picked the 12oz Exhibition Canvas Bag because recycled 12oz canvas and a bigger gusset stop the bag collapsing once it’s carrying heavy brochures. The base holds its shape so you can load it quickly at the stand without everything bunching up.
Rigid paper handover: We recommend the Ashdown Kraft XL Paper Gift Bag – Full Colour because the XL 150gsm paper walls keep meeting packs from looking scruffy when you’re handing them over. The 5-day schedule means you can still get full-colour branding to really make your brand stand out without missing your event date.
Passport-backed recycled pack: We chose the Dillon AWARE rrPET Foldable Backpack – 1 Colour because the AWARE® recycled polyester and product passport give you the answers when asked “what’s this made from?”. The foldaway backpack format also solves the common issue of a “premium gift” being awkward to carry around the hall.
Crisp rope-handle finish: Our benchmark for premium presentation is the Size 3 Laminated Paper Carrier Bag because UK manufacture, lamination, and rope handles prevent the soft creasing and tired corners you get with lightweight carriers. That finish keeps your bag looking sharp and lands well with the client across multiple meetings.

Second time ordering from Steel City. The team has been marvellous once again. Very attentive to my requests, and in this occasion - very short deadline. They were quick to respond, and delivered on time in spite of the challenge of time. Always respond quickly and very proactive. I highly recommend this company for any marketing needs. Their brouchure is full of ideas and nothing is out of reach. Thank you once again team!

The merch is top notch quality, and will happily continue using Steel City for many orders to come! Hugely recommend!

We have ordered several branded products from Steel City, and we have been extremely impressed by both the quality of the products themselves and also the service we've received from their fantastic team. Georgia in particular has been brilliant - her friendly demeanour and genuine willingness to help us make the right decisions for our business made the entire process seamless. No question was too trivial, and no request was ever too much trouble for her. Steel City has earned our trust as a reliable and customer-focused company, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality branded products with exceptional service to match.

Absolutely A-1 in every area. From design, to communication, to delivery, processing, speed, quality of products - exceptional!

My first time using Steel City BM, what a great service, we delayed things and messed them about a bit but they still came up trumps, got the merchandise we wanted, printed with our Logos and delivered within the very short timeframe we gave them, excellent service. I would highly recommend using them

I am a repeat customer for a good reason and have been for years. Never let me down, courteous, friendly service, quality goods, lovely efficient firm to deal with (exemplary COMMUNICATION as well, which seems to be a commodity fast diminishing between client and supplier these days) and going forward I’ll be back again - at least twice a year with ever increasing volumes. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Great firm.

Recently sourced products from Steel City and couldn't be happier! From the initial enquiry to the delivery of the products, every step of the process was handled with the utmost professionalism and care. The quality is exceptional, the customer service is outstanding, and the delivery was prompt. I highly recommend them to any business looking for reliable, high-quality suppliers. Thank you for exceeding our expectations!

Ordered a bulk order of 500 branded notepads on the Monday and they had been delivered on the Friday! Impressively fast. Great quality products, and the customer service is the best i've experienced- both Rowan the Sales Administrator and Debbie the Account Manager were excellent, very rapid email response with all the info needed. We will continue to use Steel City for our company's branded merch.

Can't rate the team at Steel City Marketing highly enough. I've ordered a few different promotional items just recently and every single time, from start to finish, the service from Georgia & Rowan in particular, has been first class. Each item we have had (leather key fobs, feather flags and printed bags) are of an excellent quality and have been produced to a very high standard. I've always been pleasantly surprised at the quality, speed and with the exceptional service this company has always fulfilled our orders.

Brilliant service from start to finish. Rowan went that 'extra mile' to keep me informed on progress.

Highly recommend Steel City for all promotional items and gifts. The team were very helpful and supportive in helping us source what we were looking for and sent multiple free samples for us to test the quality prior to us making a final decision. Highly recommend Steel City and look forward to working with them again in the future. - Review on behalf of AUMA Actuators Ltd.

“As always, the service was fast and reliable with my favourite bit being the communication. As a customer you know exactly what to expect at every point of the process because your expectations are managed beautifully and all information is communicated well.”

Excellent service and produced items once again from Debbie and the whole team at Steel City. I won't go anywhere else for my promo items.

Super speedy process and the team were on hand throughout! Highly recommend - thank you again!

Fantastic experience using Steel City from the minute I emailed James about my requirements to the finished product being delivered. Can't speak highly enough of Rowan for her regular communication and letting me know how things are progressing.

Great experience of using Steel City, nothing was too much trouble, everyone within the team that we dealt with were really helpful, will definitely be using them again!

Good Products, good service - kept informed all the way - Steel City met my expectations which are pretty high - nicely done SC...
