Questions before you order.
We clarify the important details before production starts.
Which material offers the clearest sustainability message?
RPET offers a clear recycled-content message because it is made from recycled PET bottles.
Can backpacks carry a company logo?
Yes. Screen, transfer and full-colour printing can all add a logo, artwork or campaign message.
Which is better for heavier contents — one cord or two?
Two cords distribute the load more evenly across both shoulders and suit heavier contents. One cord is a simpler, more economical solution for lighter items.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The minimum depends on dimensions, material, printing and production method. Include your required quantity; the exact minimum is confirmed in the quotation.

Drawstring backpacks — choosing the right material and construction
A drawstring backpack is a lightweight, economical way to offer a reusable promotional item that customers actually use rather than discard immediately. With cords serving as the closure and shoulder straps instead of conventional handles, the bag surface is available for printing. The choice is which material and construction best match the campaign’s purpose and budget.
Comparing materials — when to choose each
Non-woven PP is the most economical choice for large campaigns where the bag is primarily a short-term promotional item rather than a long-lasting accessory. RPET, made from recycled PET bottles, suits brands wishing to highlight recycled content. Polyester is more durable under repeated use and suits sports and event products. Cotton has a more natural feel and suits brands that prefer a less plastic-like material.
One cord or two — carrying comfort and price
The drawstring closure and carrying straps are combined. A single cord offers a simpler, more economical construction; two cords improve comfort when worn as a backpack by distributing the load evenly across both shoulders. Reinforced corners improve durability when carrying heavier items. An optional internal pocket adds practicality for smaller belongings.
Logo-printed and branded backpacks
The printable bag surface is ideal for logos and campaign artwork. The method is selected for the material and design: screen printing suits simpler logos and large quantities, transfer printing suits complex multicolour artwork, and full-colour printing suits photographic designs across the surface. Printed promotional bags with company logos and campaign artwork travel with customers in daily life, offering lasting brand visibility for a one-off printing cost.
Applications
Trade fairs and conferences need economical, reusable promotional items in large quantities.
Sports events and clubs need durable polyester bags for active use.
Schools and youth programmes use drawstring backpacks as practical, memorable gifts.
Marketing campaigns choose materials such as RPET or cotton to match the brand’s sustainability message.
