Global temperature is rising; people need cooler bags!

Cooler bags are hot, because with the rise of the global temperature due to climate change, people need to keep their food cool. Before people only used a cooler bag for a picknick in the forest or park. Or they used the bag for a day on the beach. Cooler bags are more lightweight than hard sided coolers making them perfect for adventures of all sorts.

But today, thanks to the impact of the climate change, people need more often a bag that will keep their water cool, for example when they drive to their work, or bring their kids to school. Water is vital to keep people fit and healthy. Lack of water can lead to dehydration — a condition that occurs when you don’t have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. Even mild dehydration can drain your energy and make you tired.

This is well known, so with the increase of the temperature, the demand for a good cooler bag is also rising. How about to add this bag to your product offering and increase your sales.

How long do cooler bags stay cold

With the temperatures breaking new all-time high records, good cooler bags are in demand.

A lunch bag will stay cold for about 2 hours but be careful. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, the bacteria danger zone is between 4 Celsius (40°F) and 60 Celsius (140°F). Outside the fridge, or a cool place a backpack can easily climb into that zone.

You want to do whatever it takes to ensure your bag is as cold as possible. Because you do not want your kids, or yourself to get sick.

A thermal bag is an insulated shipping container made of thermally insulating materials. These materials help to keep your stored food cold and fresh. When using ice, these bags can stay cool for up to twelve hours, keeping the foods and beverages cold and fresh.

To maintain the coldness of the food and drinks stored in the cooler, you should stack the cooler bags with ice packs. The ice packs are always put on top. Putting the ice packs on top will ensure all the foods you put in the cooler bag remain cold during a large part of the day.

The cool air will go down as it is heavier while the warm air rises, thus making all the foods in the cooler remain cold.

Which cooler bag is the best

A cooler bag has many features, so it not that easy to define which cooler bag is the best. It all depends on the needs of your client. You can think of the size, style or type of insulation. When you design a cooler bag for promotional purposes you should also consider a good, but not too obvious space for your logo. Do some research with your target audience to design the bag that meets their requirements.

In the first place should your client feel their food and beverages stay cool and fresh in the bag, if that is proofed, they will carry your bag anywhere they go. And thus, sharing your brand name with everybody they will meet.

How effective is a cooler bag

It depends on several factors. But only when you have close access to a refrigerator during your trip, you don’t necessarily need a cooler bag. Unless you are trying to cut down on your energy costs.

Cooler bags may be efficient, but they are less efficient than storage coolers with more insulation features. But they are also much lighter to carry, than a storage cooler.

To ensure that the cooler bag gives you the best value for your money, or the best experience with your brand, there are some factors to be aware of:

External temperature, the warmer outside the harder it will be to keep the content of the bag cool.

Frequent openings, every time you need to open the bag, the bag will warm up inside a bit. Make sure the bag has a good locking system. Close the bag immediately after you have taken your cooled stuff out of the bag.

Cold state of the food item. The colder the drinks before storing in the cooler bag, the longer they stay cool.

Do you put ice in a cooler bag

A cooler bag works best when you use ice in them to keep things cold. But they can also work fine ever without ice. Cooler bags need ice to work properly. Although ice is not mandatory to keep your food cold adding ice or ice bricks to your cooler bag will keep your items colder for longer.

It is recommended to use ice packs in the cooler bag as opposed to lose ice because loose ice in a cooler bag can cause leaks.

Thicker cooler bags with higher-quality materials will keep the food nice and cold, while thinner bags with little insulation will not do much against the elements. This is an important factor, but of course also has an impact on the price of the bag. Jimbobags recommends the market standard of a 30 mm foam, laminated with aluminum foil. For a reasonable price, you get the best effect.
