Cooler Bags

A summer staff picnic only works if the drinks stay cold from the car to the beach. We brand promotional cooler bags for picnics, trade days and client gifts across New Zealand, in sizes listed from 3.5 to 34 litres.

Some buyers call them chiller bags or cool bags. Whatever the name, we quote our custom cooler bags for bulk and wholesale orders.

Branded Cooler Bags: Litres and Lining

Our pages list capacity in litres or cans, and that figure tells you who a bag is for. The BYO cooler bag holds 6 litres, enough for two bottles, while the Magellan cooler bag keeps up to 30 cans chilled for a team.

Large cooler bags suit a crew. Our large cooler bag measures 280 x 300 x 210mm and takes a 150mm x 150mm print on its front pocket. Our large nylon cooler bag holds 17 litres, and the large hard top cooler holds 22.

Linings differ too. Close to half of our styles list a PEVA liner, and others use foil.

For one person's lunch, our lunch bags range holds 33 styles. Wine cooler bags for one or two bottles sit in our wine carriers range.

Soft Cooler Bags or a Hard Shell?

A soft cooler bag is lighter than a box, and its fabric front gives room for a logo. That makes it an easy event giveaway.

A hard cooler suits camping or a backyard gathering, where it stays put all day. Among our hard chilly bins, the Detroit 20L cooler box lists ice retention of up to 48 hours.

Our Frosty box holds 15 litres in stainless steel and lists a one week lead time. Between soft and hard sits the EVA Big Chill cooler: 33 litres, a moulded EVA lid and base, and a collapsible body.

Four Chiller Bags Worth Shortlisting

These four run from 10 litres of full colour print to 27 litres of calico.

Large Nylon Cooler Bag

A group picnic or a club day takes room, and this bag holds 17 litres at 315 x 280 x 200mm. Its 600D polyester shell wraps 5mm EPE foam and a heavy PEVA vinyl liner that resists water.

It has a front pouch, dual zips and net pockets. The bag comes in several colours, with customisable print areas for your logo.

Large Hard Top Cooler

This cooler suits trade show giveaways and corporate gifts. It pairs a black tarpaulin PVC body with a sturdy EVA lid, drink holders and a 22 litre foil-lined compartment.

Its heavy-duty base and strong metal fittings are built for frequent use, and the padded shoulder strap comes off. Colourflex transfer covers 150 x 75mm on the top or 150 x 150mm on the pocket, and embroidery runs to 75 x 70mm.

Calico Cooler Bag

This bag suits beach outings, because it keeps items cool and doubles as a beach bag. Heavy 400gsm unbleached calico wraps PE foam and a PEVA liner around 27 litres.

It measures 330 x 380 x 220mm, closes with a zip on top and carries over the shoulder on long 650mm handles. Its front pocket takes screen print, Colourflex, embroidery or faux embroidery.

Bathurst Cooler Bag - Full Colour Large

Many of our bags carry a logo on one pocket, but this 10 litre bag is printed edge to edge. Full colour sublimation lays your artwork across its 600D polyester, following our print template.

Inside sit PE foam and a water-resistant PEVA liner. Its adjustable woven strap extends to 1120mm and comes in 10 standard colours, and each bag arrives loose packed for handing out.

Cooler Bags NZ Compared by Size and Print Area

When you order bulk cooler bags for a team, size and print area tend to decide the pick.

Custom Printed Cooler Bags: Methods and Timing

Colourflex transfer, embroidery and screen print are the methods our cooler bag pages list most often. Some styles add faux embroidery, and five full colour styles use sublimation. A pocket print on the Bathurst cooler bag is 100mm x 70mm, while the Callahan cooler bag takes a 355mm x 265mm screen print.

Our free artwork service works from a sketch, a logo file or a short description. We send production-ready artwork for you to approve before anything is printed.

Lead Times Vary by Product

Most of our cooler bag pages print no standard lead time, so we confirm one in your quote. Where a page does, the Office pack lists as quick as 3 working days from artwork approval. Our Pause pack lists 7 working days from approval to dispatch.

At the slow end, the Callahan cooler bag lists 14 to 16 weeks, with rush on request.

Personalised Cooler Bags in Gift Packs

Several gift packs here come inside an insulated cooler bag. Our Gone Fishing pack uses an 8 litre bag that holds up to six standard bottles. A Wilson fishing kit and a torch go inside, and each item can be branded on its own.

Our Tradie pack puts three items, a bottle opener and a coffee cup among them, into its cooler bag and lists 3 to 5 working days.

Get Promotional Cooler Bags Delivered Across NZ

Nationwide delivery means a bulk order of promotional cooler bags reaches your office, depot or club anywhere in New Zealand. Most of our cooler bag pages also list a rush service for a staff barbecue or trade day on a fixed date. Attach your logo to a cooler bag quote request that names the bag style, the quantity and the event date.
