Why Choose a Travel Bag for a Marketing Campaign?
The benefits of promotional travel bags and custom-printed luggage are well-documented. More than just a corporate giveaway, they are a ‘walking advertisement’ that will keep your business in the spotlight long after your promotion has passed. If you create something stylish, your customers will likely use your printed bags for work, travel, and even after-hours activities such as the gym. Every time they use them, they’ll be promoting your brand, and that kind of advertising is priceless.
Whether you are a small family business, a growing SME, or a global enterprise, promotional travel bags could be just what your company needs to stand out in a competitive marketplace. They are more practical than promotional items such as caps and t-shirts, more original than pens and calendars, and more cost-effective than printed brochures and online advertising.
Printed bags are the type of giveaway people want, and you don’t need to invest in luxurious laptop bags or leather totes. A custom-branded shopping bag, drawstring bag, or backpack will appeal to everyone.
Of course, promotional travel bags need striking artwork to make them stand out, so you should never compromise on design. For optimal visibility, consider using bold graphics, bright colours, and, where possible, a catchy slogan that people are unlikely to forget. Add your company logo, business name, website address, and social media handle to your printed bags for maximum exposure.

Monogrammed Travel Bags for Business
Monogrammed personalised travel bags are the best business gift. Custom-printed with the initials of your clients, partners, or employees, these bags stand out for all the right reasons. Choose monogrammed printed bags for tradeshows, marketing exhibitions, or other high-profile events, and you’ll instantly raise brand awareness while building strong business relationships.
When choosing bags for your custom collection, think about practicality in addition to design. Monogrammed backpacks are ideal for sports, travel, and everyday commutes, and personalised laptop bags are perfect for business travellers. But you can’t go wrong with a carry-on suitcase that meets all hand luggage carry-on restrictions. Most of us travel on budget airlines today, and a well-designed cabin case could take your brand to Europe, the Americas, and beyond.
If you want your investment to last, choose personalised travel bags made from durable materials. Look for features such as adjustable or removable straps, interior packing space and compartments, and exterior pockets and pouches. Does it have high-end finishes? Is there a secure pocket for wallets and keys? And most importantly, does it look good?
The more practical and stylish it is, the more likely people are to use it, so think about your target market, and choose branded luggage that you know they will use and love.
Brand Guidelines for Printed Luggage Bags
The beauty of custom-printed luggage bags is that there are no rules for the design. You can keep things simple with your company name on the straps or go bold with your business logo right in the centre of the bag. If you are using a graphic design company for your promotional bags, ask them to prepare various designs for you to consider, and don’t be afraid to ask for changes. If you intend to do it yourself, experiment with colours, gloss and matte finishes, and fonts that stand out.
We will need a high-resolution image of your logo to transfer to your personalised bags, along with a list of your chosen CMYK colours. Again, it is important to think about your target market when finalising your design. If you want high-end customers to use your monogrammed luggage, it must have designer appeal.
If you want your promotional bags to attract a younger audience, your graphics should be eye-catching, on-trend, and 100% Instagrammable. If you get your printed luggage on Instagram or TikTok, it will instantly generate more enquiries, more customers, and more sales.
