Branded cooler bags

How Do Cooler Bags Work? We’ll Tell You

Personalised cooler bags are made from fabric and feature an inner aluminium lining to ensure thermal insulation. This lining creates a barrier to prevent external heat from entering, helping to maintain the temperature of the food and drinks inside—whether keeping them cold or warm.

Made with insulating materials, these bags have airtight internal compartments and waterproof closures, such as zips or Velcro, to prevent outside air from getting in. However, sometimes adding ice packs may be necessary to enhance their efficiency.

A Highly Versatile Gift – Discover Their Uses!

Cooler bags are mainly used for picnics, taking lunch to work, outdoor activities, or even trips to the beach, providing a practical solution for carrying food while keeping it fresh. Cooler bags are also popular for long car journeys, ensuring snacks remain at the right temperature throughout the trip.

Since they can be used on many different occasions, this will allow your brand to gain visibility as it will be seen repeatedly whenever they are used.

Thermal Bags vs Cooler Bags – Are They the Same?

We often use these two terms interchangeably since both are designed to maintain the temperature of food and drinks. However, there are some key differences between them:

• Insulating Materials: Thermal bags are made from expanded polyester (PE) or thermal polyester, whereas portable cooler bags are made from thicker and heavier materials such as expanded polystyrene (EPS) or expanded polyurethane (PU).
• Temperature Retention Time: Thermal bags are designed to maintain a moderate temperature for a short period, while coolers can keep their internal temperature stable for several hours.
• Structure and Design: Thermal bags are lighter, more flexible, and come in various shapes and sizes, including shoulder bags or insulated backpack versions. In contrast, cooler bags are heavier and more rigid.

In summary, the main difference lies in the insulating materials and how long they can maintain the temperature. That’s why we recommend carefully checking the technical specifications of each product to ensure you choose the model that best suits your needs.

Regular Cleaning – The Key to a Longer Lifespan

Since branded cooler bags are used to carry food, it is essential to clean and disinfect them regularly—not just to remove stains but also to eliminate any germs or bacteria they may have come into contact with.

The cleaning process is quite simple. Just wipe the surface with mild soap and then soak it in a solution of warm water and vinegar. Alternatively, you can use a mixture of warm water, baking soda, and lemon juice.

For optimal hygiene, clean them after each use and ensure they are completely dry before storing. Also, keep them in a well-ventilated area to prevent odours from developing.
