You choose a business backpack based on laptop protection, comfort and a professional look. Look out for a padded laptop compartment in the right size (13, 15.6 or 17.3 inch), ergonomic shoulder straps, a well-thought-out layout and preferably extras such as a USB port, RFID protection or a trolley strap. For companies, sustainable, recycled materials are an important plus.

As a corporate gift or part of your merchandise, a business backpack is particularly powerful: it is carried every day to the office, on the road and on business trips. That creates lots of visible moments of contact with your brand. Below, we explain what to look out for and which models we recommend for personalisation.

What should you look for in a business laptop backpack?

With a business laptop backpack, the main things to look for are protection for your laptop, comfort and organisation of your work essentials. A well-padded laptop compartment, a separate tablet pocket and a clear organiser panel make the difference between an ordinary backpack and a true work backpack.

The key points to consider:

Laptop size: choose a compartment that fits 13, 15.6 or 17.3 inch devices
Protection: a padded, lined compartment protects against knocks
Comfort: ergonomic shoulder straps and a padded back panel for longer journeys
Organisation: pockets for cables, power bank, documents and accessories
Extras: USB port, RFID protection, trolley strap or a hidden security pocket

What laptop size do you need?

The right laptop compartment depends on the devices used in your company: a 15.6 inch compartment is the most common choice and fits most laptops, while a 17.3 inch compartment is needed for larger models. For compact devices or a tablet, a 13 inch compartment is often enough.

An overview by device:

13 inch: compact laptops, ultrabooks and larger tablets
15.6 inch: the standard for most business laptops
17.3 inch: large laptops and powerful workstations

Not sure which size your employees use? Then go for a 15.6 inch model, or a backpack with a roomy compartment that fits several sizes. Our advisers will gladly help you make the right choice for your team.

How do you personalise a business backpack with your company logo?

A business backpack is usually personalised with a subtle, professional printed or embroidered logo on the front or top flap. For a sleek, premium look, many companies choose embroidery or a domed label, while transfer printing is suitable for colourful logos.

The most common techniques for business backpacks:

Embroidery: premium and durable, ideal for a polished corporate look
Transfer printing: sharp and colourful, suitable for detailed logos
Doming or label: a refined 3D finish for a high-quality look
Screen-printed transfer: cost-effective for larger quantities

Supply your logo as a vector file (.ai, .eps or .pdf) for the best result. When choosing the placement, think about the overall look: on business models, a subtle logo often comes across as more professional than a large, eye-catching design.

Why is a business backpack a strong corporate gift?

A business backpack is a strong corporate gift because it is used daily and for a long time, creating countless moments of contact with your brand. Unlike many classic corporate gifts, a quality backpack does not disappear into a cupboard but goes to the office and on the road for years.

The advantages at a glance:

High practical value and a long lifespan, so lasting visibility
A professional look that reflects positively on your brand
Versatile: for employees, clients, new recruits or as a trade fair gift
Sustainable models made from recycled materials fit a socially responsible image
A large yet elegant branding area for your logo

Frequently Asked Questions

Which business backpack is best for business travel?

For business travel, choose a backpack with a trolley strap (Smart Sleeve), a well-protected laptop compartment and preferably anti-theft features. Models such as the Samsonite Bizz 2 Go or the Bobby Edge combine travel comfort with security and a sleek look. A separate clothing compartment is handy for short trips.

What does RFID protection mean in a backpack?

RFID protection prevents the chips in your bank cards or identity documents from being read wirelessly. A backpack with an RFID-protected pocket offers extra security in busy places such as airports or on public transport. It is a much-appreciated feature among business travellers.

Can I have a laptop backpack printed without affecting its protection?

Yes, the personalisation is applied to the outside of the backpack and has no effect on the padded laptop compartment inside. The printed or embroidered logo is applied to the front or top flap, well away from the protective compartment. So your laptop stays fully protected.

Are sustainable business backpacks available?

Yes, more and more business backpacks are made from recycled polyester (RPET), often with traceability via AWARE technology. Models such as the Pedro RPET or the Samsonite Mysight combine eco-friendly materials with a professional look. This fits perfectly with a sustainable corporate image.

What is the minimum order for business backpacks?

Stock models can often be personalised from smaller quantities, and the price per item drops as the run increases. For a company-wide rollout or onboarding packs, affordable models are an interesting option. Ask us for a tailored quote for the quantity you need.

Which backpack suits an onboarding or welcome pack?

For onboarding packs, you usually choose an affordable but well-finished model that can be personalised in larger quantities, such as a smart backpack in sturdy polyester. That way, you welcome new employees with a practical gift that makes your brand visible straight away. You can combine it with other merchandise if you like.

What is the difference between the Bobby Edge and the Samsonite Bizz 2 Go?

The Bobby Edge focuses on security with its anti-theft design, hidden zips and RFID protection, while the Samsonite Bizz 2 Go excels in versatility with a separate clothing compartment for short trips. Both are ideal for business profiles who travel a lot. The choice depends on whether security or travel flexibility matters more to you.
