Eco promotional items are no longer just a “nice extra”, but a standard that customers expect from modern brands. If you want to build a more sustainable brand image without compromising on visible and effective promotion, choose eco pens and cotton bags with print that your customers use every single day.
Why it pays off to switch to eco promotional items
Companies increasingly look for ways to reduce plastic in their promotional merchandise and to leave a smaller environmental footprint. Customers also notice whether a brand uses cheap disposable giveaways or thoughtful, long‑lasting gifts.
- Eco gifts strengthen the perception of your brand as responsible and modern.
- Higher practical value (a bag that is used repeatedly, a pen that is used for months).
- Less waste – recyclable materials such as paper, cotton, bio‑plastics.
- Still affordable prices even for more sustainable options.
Eco pens and cotton bags are a great starting point – they are universal, practical and offer an excellent print area to reach almost anyone.
Eco pens from eco materials
Pens are among the most used promotional items, which makes the eco version especially meaningful. Instead of standard plastic, you can choose recycled materials or eco pens that reduce the use of virgin plastic and create a distinctive natural look.
- Perfect for offices, trade fairs, events and client gift packs.
- Ideal carrier of your logo, slogan or website address.
- Available in many colours and shapes, from simple to more design‑driven options.
You will find eco pens in the general eco category and in the pen range:
How to brand eco pens so they really get noticed
For pens to work as an effective advert, you need a well‑thought‑out design – not just a small logo placed “somewhere on the side”.
- Place the logo so it stays visible and readable when the pen is held in hand.
- Consider a short claim or website address – less text often works better.
- Choose print colours that contrast with the body of the pen (for example dark print on a light eco pen).

Cotton bags with print: a practical carrier for your brand
Cotton bags are one of the most popular eco promotional items. Customers use them repeatedly for shopping, commuting or school – which means your brand is visible for a long time in everyday situations, not just at a single event.
- Large print area – ideal for a strong visual or campaign key visual.
- Perfect as a gift with purchase, for trade fairs, festivals and corporate events.
- By being used again and again, one cotton bag can replace dozens of single‑use plastic bags.
In the EN store structure, cotton bags fall under printed bags and cotton bags:
- Printed cotton bags – category
- Cotton ECO BAG with print
- ECO BAG cotton bags with full‑colour printing
- Natural cotton bags with printing
How to design bag prints that people will actually wear
The key is to create a design that customers are happy to wear outside the office. That often means more than just a logo – ideally a playful, stylish or topic‑driven graphic.
- Combine your logo with a simple illustration, icon or short slogan.
- For larger campaigns, consider a limited edition – people perceive such bags as “collectible”.
- Make sure the design is legible and has enough contrast to the bag colour.
How to combine eco pens and bags into a coherent set
Eco promotional items work best as part of a thought‑through set. A cotton bag can become the basis of a welcome or gift pack that includes a pen, brochure, voucher and other small items.
- Create a “welcome pack” for new clients or employees.
- Prepare sets for trade fairs – bag, pen, leaflet, business card.
- Complement eco items with other practical products (mugs, cups, notebooks).
