EcoMarketing Solutions' Media Room

When it comes to environmentally friendly trade show give-aways, few items give more bang for the buck than imprinted tote bags. Trade show attendees are constantly looking for quality bags to put their catalogs and handouts into, and a heavy-duty tote bag will be used over and over again—long after the trade show has ended.  Tote bags are light in weight, fold up easily and they help prevent dozens of plastic bags from ever being needed.

Robert Piller, president of Eco Marketing Solutions, notes, “Imagine the return on investment that a reusable tote bag offers, when you factor in the hundreds of people who will be carrying your billboard sign around a trade show floor promoting your company.”

With all the choices of eco-friendly promotional tote bags, how do you choose which is the best tote bag for your budget?  Below are the five most popular types of eco-friendly tote bags and information to help you choose the correct tote bag for your needs.

1.  Cotton/Canvas Tote Bags: Cotton/canvas tote bags are probably the strongest and most durable of all tote bags.  Cotton tote bags come in various weights and offer possibly the best value, as well.  For trade shows, choose a cotton tote bag made with a minimum of 6 ounce cloth in order to carry and support substantial weight from catalogs, thus ensuring that the tote bags will actually be used. You can order these in natural color or dyed, depending on the impact of your logo and message.   The canvas material is not smooth, so small fonts and detailed logos should be avoided.

A study released last week by the Journal of the American Medical Association suggested a new concern about BPA, or bisphenol-A, especially in drinkware. Because of the possible public health implications, the results “deserve scientific follow-up,” the study authors said. Using a health survey of nearly 1,500 adults, they found that those exposed to higher amounts of BPA were more likely to report having heart disease and diabetes.

FDA officials said they are not dismissing such findings, and conceded that further research is needed. “We recognize the need to resolve the concerning questions that have been raised,” said Laura Tarantino, head of the FDA’s office of food additive safety.

SInce the dangers of BPA have been reported for several years, Eco Marketing Solutions LLC, teamed up with several key American vendors to provide BPA-free plastics, as well as stainless steel bottles and mug, for use in advertising specialties and promotional gifts afor trade shows, corporate outings and events, travel gifts, etc.

Eco Marketing Solutions has just introduced a 20oz. biodegradable polypropylene plastic sports bottle with carabiner clip that is BPA-free. It was designed to fits all standard treadmill cup holders and comes with a pop-open lid with sport drinking spout. Robert Piller says, “This sports bottle is made in the United States so we can ensure it meets with all safety standards and is truly BPA-free. It can be re-used over and over again and it will keep a companies name and logo in front of their target audience for years.”

“Sports bottles continue to be a very popular imprinted gift at trade shows and for customer give-aways”, notes Robert Piller, President of Eco Marketing Solutions, a provider of environmentally-friendly imprinted promotional items. “What you give away should reflect your corporate values and knowingly giving away drinkware containing BPA is a poor reflection on a company”.

You can view this BPA-free sports bottle, as well as thousands of others, by visiting their new interactive website (www.ecomarketingsolutions.com) to search over 500,000 imprinted advertising specialties and sort by price range and theme for any upcoming event.
