Promotional backpacks: what they cost and which to choose
A promotional backpack with your logo costs from kr 940 per unit, including printing. Not every promotional backpack suits the same job: a bag for carrying brochures at a trade fair is different from one for a welcome pack or for commuting. The fabric, capacity and how the shoulder straps are stitched all change. Here you can see today’s prices, the most common uses with real models, and what to check before ordering.
How much does a personalised promotional backpack cost?
Price per unit with your logo in one colour in the standard print area, excluding VAT and delivery. The unit price drops as quantities rise because the print setup is spread across more units.

For trade fairs, open days and attendee giveaways
When the backpack is being handed out to lots of people, the key things are unit cost, low bulk and a clean front panel so the logo is easy to read. Foldable styles and simpler RPET or polyester logo backpacks work well here, usually printed with transfer on the front panel.
Avoid printing over a zip or a gusseted pocket: once filled, the logo can distort. If you also want the lightest option for a very large event, compare them with personalised drawstring bags before you decide.

For a welcome pack or for staff using it between home and the office, it is worth stepping up a level: more structure, padded shoulder straps and a compartment or two to organise the essentials. In this range you will find everyday promotional rucksacks in RPET, recycled nylon or roll-top formats, with transfer printing or embroidery.
Do not choose on price alone if they will carry a bottle, notebook or clothes: a backpack that is too thin will soon fall short. And if you need to protect a laptop every day, look at the personalised laptop backpacks.

When the backpack also represents your brand, it matters that it looks more like a retail backpack than just an event giveaway. Premium models usually pay more attention to fabric and finish, with recycled canvas, recycled PU or urban details where a discreet logo works especially well.
For this use, a small print in one or two colours often looks better than a front panel full of colour. If it is going into a kit, the most common pairing is with a personalised sports bottle in a matching tone and style.
