Branded backpacks for companies: what they cost and which to choose for each use
A backpack with your logo costs from CHF 1.17 per unit, with branding included. The right backpack for a trade show is not the same as one for carrying a laptop every day or travelling by train more securely. Here you can see today’s prices, the most common uses with real models, and what to review in the fabric, compartment and branding before ordering.
How much does a branded backpack cost?
Price per unit with your logo in one colour in the standard position, usually the front, excluding VAT and delivery. The unit price drops as quantity rises because the branding set-up is spread across more backpacks.

The minimum order is CHF 91.45 excluding VAT per quote, across everything you include.
With today's prices, the smallest quantity in the table already exceeds the minimum order:
- Non-woven bag: 50 units × CHF 2.10 = CHF 105.00
For trade shows, races and large-scale giveaways
When the backpack will be handed out in high volumes, what matters is low weight, an easy-to-brand front panel and enough durability for event use. Drawstring bags work well here: they take up little space, can hold documents or event supplies, and suit screen printing or transfer on a large area.
Check the reinforced corners and the thickness of the cord, because that is where a poor-quality backpack shows first. Also avoid placing the logo across eyelets or seams: it distorts and is harder to read, especially if you make it very large and full colour.

· 250 units For new starters and office teams
For new starters, office staff and sales teams, the key is keeping the laptop protected without making the backpack tiring to carry. Look for a padded compartment, a comfortable back panel and a trolley strap if they travel; for branding, embroidery or a small transfer on a sober colour usually works better than a dominant logo.
Do not order a laptop backpack without comparing the internal compartment size with the device itself: two 15.6-inch laptops are not always the same size. If it is going into a welcome pack, you can combine it with branded bags for companies in the same quote.

If it will be used by people travelling by tube, train or around the city, look for an opening against the back and less exposed zips. An anti-theft backpack solves that without drawing attention, and the logo usually looks better as a transfer or small embroidery to keep the overall look discreet.
The typical mistake is to treat it like just another promotional backpack and load it with a large, highly visible logo. For everyday use, black, grey or navy works better, and it is worth checking practical details too, such as a bottle pocket or reflective elements if people use it on a bike.

For teams that travel or work out in the field, capacity, back support and how the fabric performs outside the office matter most. Outdoor and travel backpacks often add ventilation, useful pockets and better water resistance, with transfer or embroidery on the front depending on the finish.
Before choosing a model for intensive use, read the product details carefully and do not rely on the photo alone. If the order is large or you are choosing a premium range, ask for a sample to check the zips, shoulder straps and real size before approving the design.

How each type of backpack is branded
| Material or area | Technique | How the logo looks |
|---|---|---|
| Polyester and technical fabrics | Screen transfer or digital transfer | Full-colour logo; digital transfer reproduces gradients and fine detail |
| Flat front panel on basic or drawstring backpacks | Screen printing | Clean, visible branding on a large area |
| Thicker fabrics and everyday backpacks | Embroidery | A discreet finish that stands up well to rubbing and rain |
| Patches and faux leather details | PU label, laser engraving or embossing | A subtle logo, more integrated than a large print |
