WHAT DOES SHOW BAG MEAN IN ENGLISH?

show bag

Showbag

The showbag is a themed bag of commercial merchandise, and a distinctive feature of Australian shows. The bag is usually made from plastic or heavy paper, and is printed with graphics promoting a theme or manufacturer. Showbags are also known as sample bags, as they originally contained samples of the range of goods produced by a single vendor or brand group. Such sample bags were originally given free of charge, or carried only a nominal charge, to promote brand awareness; however this is now unusual, with showbag prices as at 2007 commonly in the A$10–20 range. The rising cost of showbags is often identified as a major negative aspect of shows. In 2008, there was a $10,000 showbag. Despite this, it is generally assumed that the total retail value of the individual contents of a showbag will exceed the price charged for the package. Common themes for showbags include confectionery brands, trademarked toys such as Barbie, The Simpsons, G.I. Joe and Batman, broad areas of children's play interest such as "cowboy" or "pirate", and sporting teams. Showbags may also be created for and named after current fads, especially children's movies on current release.
