Just the right temp: Branded insulated bags employees will love to lug

By Melanie VandenBoogaard

If you pack a daily lunch or attend picnics, cookouts or potlucks, you know how important it is to keep food and drinks at the proper temperature during transportation. It’s vital from a food safety standpoint, but it also keeps everything tasting great! That’s why branded insulated bags are the perfect employee gifts. These bags are designed to keep contents at just the right temperature.

The No. 1 reason people keep a promo product for five or more years: It's useful.

A promotional bag is like a little billboard, showing off your name and message as it is carried from place to place. They’re also endlessly versatile and practical. Research shows when somebody holds on to a promotional product for at least five years, 75% of the time opens in new window it’s because the product is useful. Here are ideas for gifting employees insulated bags they’ll reach for again and again.

Branded cooler bags for lunchtime

An Insulated Folding ID Lunch Bag or Crosby Lunch Cooler Tote is an automatic upgrade for any daily commuter with a sack lunch routine. Offer one as part of company onboarding to help newcomers feel welcome. The Backpack with Cooler Pockets is a more spacious option, offering insulated areas for food and drinks along with traditional backpack space. Eliminate the need for the common bag-in-a-bag situation most lunch-packers rely on by handing this out as a surprise giveaway.

Big bags for big plans

When it comes to refreshments, bigger often means better! A high-capacity insulated bag equips employees for a variety of situations—many of them overflowing with fun. Celebrate someone heading for a summer vacation with a Flip Your Lid Convertible Cooler Bag or All-in-One Beach Cooler Backpack. Beach days will never be the same!

Toast the success of a company golf outing by gifting participants a Koozie^® Golf Back Nine Cooler. Or give an iCOOL^® Roll Top Cooler Backpack to an employee who reached the summit of a metaphorical company mountain, landing a major client or topping a sales record.

Specialty insulated bags

While an advantage of many insulated bags is their versatility, some are designed for a specific purpose. These gift options are for situations where you know the recipient’s interests or hobbies and can match accordingly. The office sommelier, for instance, would love an Insulated Wine Bag or Bordeaux Double Wine Carrier.

Keep watch during workplace potlucks to see who’d be happiest to find a Casserole Keeper on their desk before a holiday break. The Koozie^® Portable BBQ Cooler Bag, meanwhile, could provide a thrill to any grill masters or tailgate enthusiasts in the company.

Branded insulated bags to use whenever, wherever

Many insulated bags are used for food and drinks, they can also be used to insulate other items, including cosmetics, medicines, or even art supplies or electronics that need protection from extreme heat. Surprise employees at the next annual meeting with 6-Pack Insulated Cooler Bags. While the right size for a six-pack, its contents are solely up to its owner.

The Therm-O Tote Insulated Grocery Bag makes a perfect partner when grocery shopping or running errands. The Mazzo Drawstring Cooler, which works like a traditional drawstring backpack but includes insulation, works for hiking, biking, daily use and much more. Either would be a useful addition to a welcome gift pack for new team members.

Keep cool (or warm) and carry on

By gifting employees branded insulated bags, you’re unlocking countless possibilities. Whether used as chill companions at a cookout, to cart a hot casserole to a family dinner or to keep refreshments cool on a desert hike, these carriers will provide brand visibility and be used again and again.
