Two days full of inspiration, hundreds of handshakes, and thousands of conversations about how to transform an ordinary printed cotton bag into a premium product.
On February 11 and 12, 2026, we had the pleasure of participating in the International Advertising and Printing Trade Fair PROMO SHOW at Warsaw’s EXPO XXI.
For the Evergreen Bags team, this was a special time – not only did we meet you in person, but above all, we presented a technology that sets new standards for printing on cotton bags.
We thank everyone who visited our booth A17 in Hall No. 1. If you could not be with us in Warsaw, we have prepared a brief report on what happened at the fair and why this year will be groundbreaking for the promotional bag industry.
Reactive Printing – The Star of Our Booth
The greatest interest among visitors was generated by our innovation: cotton bags decorated using digital reactive printing technology. This is an innovation that solves the age-old dilemma of marketers: “quality or price?”
At the booth, we presented full-color printing samples on various fabric weights: standard cotton, denim, and canvas. The reactions of visitors were unanimous – surprise at the softness of the material despite printing on the entire surface.
Why Is Full-Color Reactive Printing (Roll to Roll) the Future?
- Imperceptible to the touch: The dye permanently bonds with the cotton fiber, becoming an integral part of it. There is no stiff “shell” effect typical of traditional digital prints.
- Photographic quality and vibrant colors: This technology allows for deep black and saturated colors that “come alive” on the material.
- Indestructibility: The graphic is completely resistant to washing and abrasion.
- Attractive price: We offer premium quality at a better price than popular pigment printing (DTT).

Manufacturer, Not Just an Intermediary – We Sew to Measure
During PROMO SHOW 2026, we strongly emphasized our role as a cotton bag manufacturer. Many clients were pleasantly surprised that Evergreen Bags is not only ready-made models from a catalog, but also our own sewing facility and unlimited customization possibilities.
At the booth, we demonstrated that “the sky is the limit.” Do you need a bag with non-standard dimensions? Cosmetic bags in a specific Pantone color? Or perhaps an apron or backpack according to your own design? We execute such orders from A to Z – from consulting on material selection (organic cotton, jute, Tyvek, or even ocean recycled canvas!), through prototyping, to final production and labeling.
Meetings That Build Relationships
Trade fairs are primarily about people. This year’s edition of PROMO SHOW gathered nearly 9,500 visitors from over 22 countries. We are pleased that we were able to speak with both representatives of advertising agencies and marketing managers looking for a direct manufacturer of promotional bags for their companies.
We distributed hundreds of catalogs, material samples, and sample bags with our new full-color print. Your feedback is invaluable to us – it confirms that the direction we have chosen (innovation + ecology) is the right one.
What’s Next?
The trade fair is behind us, but the work is just beginning. We return to the office with new energy and heads full of ideas for implementing your projects.
If you are interested in our trade fair offer or would like to receive a material sample with full-color reactive printing, please contact us. We will show you how your brand can look on cotton promotional bags.
See you next year at PROMO SHOW 2027!
