Custom Insulated & Cooler Tote Bags with Your Logo

42 products · typical minimum 48 · 5–12 business days

Insulated tote bags hold food and drinks at temperature on the way to a picnic, a jobsite lunch or a grocery run, and they carry your logo the whole trip. This page keeps the tote-shaped ones: lunch totes, insulated grocery and shopping totes, and branded styles from Koozie, RTIC and YETI.

The full cooler range, from 12-can soft coolers to 36-can tailgate bags and backpack coolers, is on our sister site BrandedCoolers.com.

How cold, and for how long

Be careful what you promise your recipients. A promotional soft cooler is an insulated bag, not a hard cooler. With a foil or PEVA liner and no ice pack, most of these styles hold temperature for roughly two to four hours. Add a gel pack or frozen bottles and you get most of a working day.

Liners and seams

Two things decide whether a cooler tote survives its second use. The liner is usually PEVA (soft, food-safe, flexible) or a foil laminate (better reflectance, stiffer). The seams matter more: heat-sealed liners resist leaks, sewn liners do not. If the bag will carry ice or anything that sweats, insist on heat-sealed.

Decorating an insulated bag

Screen printing works on non-woven and polyester shells and is the cheapest route at volume. Heat transfer and full-color printing suit laminated and coated surfaces. Embroidery is the one to think twice about: the needle perforates the shell, and on a thin-walled cooler that can reach the liner.

Where else to look

For insulated groceries see Grocery & Shopping Totes. For bottle carriers see Wine & Bottle Totes.
