Backpacks with Logo: A Guide to Printing and Choosing the Right One

Backpacks with a logo are one of the most practical promotional products: a 17–18 l model with an embroidered or printed logo lasts 2–4 years and gets used almost daily. Our catalogue features three backpack lines — the Trend backpack with 4 compartments (17 l), the Byron 15.6" GRS RPET roll-top backpack (18 l), and the Resi Plus 15" GRS recycled roll-top backpack (18 l) — plus lightweight drawstring bags from 5 l. Indicative prices with single-colour printing start from around EUR 12 per backpack (excl. VAT, order of 50 pcs), with a typical lead time of 5–10 business days.\n\n## Backpacks and laptop bags from our catalogue\n\nThe key question before choosing is whether the bag needs to hold a laptop. If so, look for models with a padded or appropriately sized compartment.\n\n- Trend backpack with 4 compartments, 17 l — polyester, 11 colours. A versatile option for schools, sports clubs and staff sets. Printing: screen printing, DTF transfer, heat transfer, embroidery (including 3D embroidery).\n- Byron 15.6" GRS RPET roll-top backpack, 18 l — recycled polyester, 10 colours, fits a 15.6" laptop. Roll-top closure, increasingly popular with IT and service companies. Printing: embroidery, screen printing, DTF, heat transfer.\n- Resi Plus 15" GRS recycled roll-top backpack, 18 l — faux leather surface, 7 colours, fits a 15" laptop. The most representative option for gifts to managers and partners. Printing: embroidery or heat transfer.\n- Panama zippered shopping bag, 20 l — polyester, 9 colours. A good alternative if you need a shoulder bag rather than a backpack.\n- Maryville non-woven shopping bag, 28 l — 5 colours, the most affordable large-capacity solution for events and sales.\n\n### Lightweight drawstring bags — for sports and conferences\n\nIf your budget per unit is up to EUR 4, drawstring sports bags are the more practical choice: Oriole premium bag, 5 l (16 colours), Oriole RPET bag, 5 l (11 colours), Oriole RPET drawstring bag with front zip pocket, 5 l (9 colours), and Evergreen GRS recycled non-woven bag, 5 l. For cotton fans — Peru 180 g/m² cotton bag, 7 l, Oregon 100 g/m² and Oregon 140 g/m² cotton drawstring bag, 5 l, as well as Odisha 140 g/m² OCS organic cotton drawstring bag, 5 l.\n\n## Printing technologies: which to choose\n\nPrinting on bags differs from printing on paper — fabric structure and seam placement both matter.\n\n| Technology | Suitable for | Colours | Notes |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| Screen printing | Cotton, polyester, non-woven fabric | 1–4 colours | Cost-effective from 50 pcs, low price at higher volumes |\n| DTF transfer | Polyester, cotton, drawstring bags | Full colour | Photos and gradients, no limit on number of colours |\n| Embroidery (fixed) | Backpacks, firmer surfaces | Up to 8–10 thread colours | The most durable option, looks great on Byron and Resi Plus |\n| 3D embroidery | Trend backpack | 1–3 colours | Raised logo, works well for sports clubs |\n| Sublimation | Oriole premium, Oriole RPET | Full colour | Only for light-coloured polyester fabrics |\n| Heat transfer | Polyester, faux leather | 1–4 colours | Suitable for small logos and the Resi Plus surface |\n\nA practical tip: on textured backpacks (RPET, non-woven fabric), fine text under 4 mm in height can look uneven. A single-colour vector logo with thicker lines always gives a more predictable result.\n\n## Indicative prices and quantities\n\nPrices are indicative, excl. VAT, and include one print location in one colour. The exact price depends on quantity, number of colours and technology.\n\n| Product | 25 pcs | 100 pcs | 300 pcs |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| Drawstring bag 5 l (Oriole, Evergreen) | from EUR 3.20 | from EUR 2.20 | from EUR 1.70 |\n| Cotton bag 5–7 l (Oregon, Peru, Odisha) | from EUR 4.50 | from EUR 3.30 | from EUR 2.60 |\n| Non-woven bag 28 l (Maryville) | from EUR 2.80 | from EUR 1.90 | from EUR 1.50 |\n| Panama bag 20 l | from EUR 7.50 | from EUR 6.00 | from EUR 5.20 |\n| Trend backpack 17 l | from EUR 14.00 | from EUR 12.00 | from EUR 10.50 |\n| Byron 15.6" RPET backpack 18 l | from EUR 26.00 | from EUR 22.00 | from EUR 19.50 |\n| Resi Plus 15" backpack 18 l | from EUR 34.00 | from EUR 29.00 | from EUR 26.00 |\n\nWe also work with small quantities — individual samples or 5–10 pieces — though in that case the print setup cost is spread over fewer units, so the price per piece is higher. You can browse the full range in the promotional products section, while fabric bags have their own bags and tote bags page.\n\n## Files and artwork preparation\n\nPrinting requires vector graphics: .ai, .eps or .pdf with colours in CMYK or Pantone. For embroidery, we additionally confirm thread colours and logo width in millimetres — standard embroidery on a backpack's front pocket is usually 60–90 mm wide.\n\nIf you don't have a vector file, we can prepare one from a raster image — a simple logo redraw costs around EUR 15–30. Before production, we always send a digital mock-up showing the print location and dimensions; production begins only after written approval.\n\n## Lead times\n\nStandard lead time from artwork approval:\n\n- drawstring bags and non-woven bags with screen printing or DTF — 5–7 business days;\n- backpacks with heat transfer or screen printing — 5–8 business days;\n- backpacks with embroidery or 3D embroidery — 7–10 business days;\n- rare colours or large quantities (from 500 pcs) — up to 15 business days.\n\nUrgent orders are handled by arrangement. If your order is tied to a specific event, mention the date in your first message — planning 3 weeks ahead, we can almost always find a solution without a surcharge.\n\n## How to choose for your purpose\n\n- Staff sets, onboarding — Byron 15.6" or Resi Plus 15" with an embroidered logo.\n- Sports clubs and training camps — Trend backpack 17 l plus an Oriole RPET drawstring bag for footwear.\n- Conferences and seminars — Oriole premium 5 l with full-colour sublimation, or Panama 20 l.\n- Schools and municipal events — Oregon or Odisha cotton bags, Maryville 28 l for larger gift sets.\n- Cafés and shops for resale — Peru 180 g/m² cotton bag with single-colour screen printing.\n\nBags are often ordered together with T-shirts or caps — in that case, we produce everything in one batch, and the colours of the garment printing are matched to the bag logo.\n\n## Frequently asked questions\n\nWhat is the minimum quantity for backpacks with a logo?\n\nTechnically we can produce even a single piece, but an economically reasonable minimum is 10–25 pieces. From 100 pieces, the price per unit drops by roughly 10–20%.\n\nWhich is more durable — embroidery or printing?\n\nEmbroidery. It withstands washing and everyday wear without changing and is the recommended solution for backpacks used daily. DTF and screen printing are cheaper and better suited to full-colour images or larger print areas.\n\nCan I order a single sample before placing a large order?\n\nYes. We can send a bag without printing or prepare one printed sample; the sample cost is usually credited towards the main order if it's placed within a month.\n\nHow much space is available for a logo on a backpack?\n\nIt depends on the model. The Trend backpack's front pocket usually allows for 100 × 100 mm printing and 60–90 mm embroidery; the roll-top models Byron and Resi Plus have a smaller area — we provide exact dimensions in the mock-up.\n\nDoes the catalogue include bags made from recycled materials?\n\nYes. Byron and Resi Plus are GRS-certified recycled polyester models, Oriole RPET and Evergreen GRS are recycled drawstring bags, and Odisha is made of OCS organic cotton.\n\nWrite to info@attaprint.lv or call or message us on WhatsApp at +371 25776699 — let us know the model, quantity and preferred printing method, and we'll prepare a quote within one business day.
