What to Put in a Swag Bag
The best swag bags lead with the bag itself, a branded tote people actually reuse, then one hero item like a tee or a water bottle and a few low-cost extras such as a pen, a sticker pack, or a snack. A full six-item bag like that starts near 32 dollars per bag and drops as you order the branded pieces at volume. A conference welcome bag or new-hire kit is remembered for the one or two pieces people carry home, not for the filler, so skip the throwaway items nobody keeps. Set your bag count above, toggle contents, and land on a per-bag cost you are happy with. We quote the branded items with no minimums and two-day shipping.

Start with the bag, add one or two hero items like a tee or a bottle, then a few low-cost extras such as a pen or a sticker pack. Set a realistic unit price for each, set your bag count, and the tool multiplies it out and shows the effect of every toggle in real time.
