Most cooler bags announce themselves as cooler bags. The VINGA RPET Sortino does not: melange fabric and PU details give it the appearance of an ordinary shoulder bag, while the insulated interior with PEVA backing keeps food and drink cold and wipes clean after a picnic.

The 23 x 20 x 27 cm format is deliberately compact, so it carries comfortably by the handles or over the shoulder rather than needing two hands like a full cool box. It holds lunch, a bottle of wine and a few cold items without becoming unwieldy, and the outer fabric is produced from 50 percent recycled polyester made from recycled PET bottles. Black, blue and grey are available.

For corporate use it fits summer campaigns and outdoor events particularly well: company picnics, festival hospitality, sales incentive gifts in the warmer months and welcome packs for field staff who eat away from an office. Food and drink brands, supermarkets, breweries and wineries use it as a customer gift that keeps working after the campaign ends, and it is a strong choice for employee summer gifting where a fleece or umbrella would land at the wrong time of year.

Logo placement on the front panel or the flat side reproduces well on the melange fabric. MerchRepublic sets up the branding, supplies matched quantities across the colour range for larger campaigns, and delivers finished orders to offices or event venues anywhere in the EU.
