Tars, co-owner of Maximum Image, travels to the office and to clients every day for his work.

A safe and reliable backpack for commuting is therefore not a luxury but an absolute must. Quality comes first, because let us be honest: when you commute to work, a professional look and the certainty that your laptop and documents are safe are at least as important as the meeting itself.

An anti-theft backpack protects your belongings with hidden zips, RFID-protected pockets and clever construction that makes unwanted access difficult. The best models have zips that sit against your back or in hidden places, a closed exterior with no easily accessible pockets, and RFID protection against your bank cards being read wirelessly. Ideal for busy public transport, city breaks and travel.

If you are often on the move in busy places, an anti-theft backpack gives you peace of mind. As a corporate gift, a backpack like this also conveys care and quality, and is used every day by anyone who travels or commutes. Below, we explain how these backpacks work and which models we recommend.

How does an anti-theft backpack work?

An anti-theft backpack works by making theft physically harder and less attractive through a combination of hidden zips, closed pockets and protective materials. Rather than one single solution, it is several smart design choices that together make the difference.

The key security features:

Hidden zips: the zips sit against your back or under flaps, so they cannot be reached while you are wearing the bag
RFID protection: special pockets prevent the chips in your bank cards or passport from being read wirelessly
Closed construction: an exterior with no easily accessible outer pockets
Cut-resistant materials: sturdy fabrics that are hard to slash open
Hidden tracker pocket: some models have a small pocket for a Bluetooth tracker

Which anti-theft backpacks does Maximum Image recommend?

We have selected the best models in terms of security and look. Both can be personalised with your logo and are suitable for anyone who values protection on the go.

Bobby Edge anti-theft backpack

The iconic Bobby anti-theft design with hidden and RFID-protected pockets and hidden zips, in a contemporary design. Behind the self-locking metal zip puller, your belongings are extra safe. The lightweight yet sturdy construction has a water-repellent exterior and a waterproof zip, plus a hidden pocket for a Bluetooth tracker. Made from recycled materials (rPET) with an AWARE tracer that validates the use of recycled materials. Dimensions: 30x17x44 cm.

Perfect for: business travellers, city breaks, daily commuting. Recommended price: from €72.91 excl. VAT. View in the webshop.

Vinga Baltimore travel backpack

A stylish backpack in water-repellent PU material with a hidden pocket at the back, specially designed for storing valuables safely. Because it sits against your back, this pocket cannot be reached while you are wearing the bag. With a padded laptop compartment and the option to carry the bag as a backpack or a tote bag. An elegant choice that combines theft protection with a polished look.

Perfect for: business outings, short trips, anyone who prefers discretion. View in the webshop.

What is RFID protection and do I need it?

RFID protection prevents the wireless chips in your bank cards, ID card or passport from being read remotely by people with bad intentions. A backpack with an RFID-protected pocket blocks these signals, which is especially useful in busy places such as airports, stations and on public transport.

Whether you need it depends on your situation:

Do you travel a lot or often find yourself in busy crowds? Then RFID protection is a valuable extra
Do you keep contactless bank cards or a passport in your backpack? Then it offers extra peace of mind
Do you mainly use the backpack locally and in quiet places? Then it is more of a nice-to-have than a necessity

How do you personalise an anti-theft backpack?

An anti-theft backpack is usually personalised with a subtle printed or embroidered logo on the front, without affecting the security features. Because many anti-theft models have a sleek, closed exterior, a neat logo that is not too large often works best.

The most common techniques:

Screen-printed transfer: a sharp result, cost-effective for larger quantities
Embroidery: a premium and durable look
Doming or label: a refined 3D finish

Supply your logo as a vector file (.ai, .eps or .pdf) for the best result. We always send you a free digital proof for approval first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are anti-theft backpacks really safer?

Yes, anti-theft backpacks make theft considerably harder thanks to hidden zips, closed construction and protective materials. They offer no absolute guarantee, but they greatly reduce the risk because pickpockets find it much harder to get in. In busy places especially, this makes a noticeable difference.

Can I fit a laptop in an anti-theft backpack?

Yes, most anti-theft backpacks have a padded laptop compartment, often against the back panel for extra protection. Models such as the Bobby Edge and the Vinga Baltimore combine theft protection with a safe laptop compartment. So both your device and your valuables are protected.

What is the AWARE tracer on the Bobby Edge?

The AWARE tracer is a technology that validates and traces the actual use of recycled materials in a product. On the Bobby Edge, it confirms that the backpack really does contain recycled materials (rPET). So you can be sure the sustainability claim is true.

Does an anti-theft backpack protect against rain?

Many anti-theft backpacks are water-repellent, and some models such as the Bobby Edge even have a waterproof zip. As a result, they protect not only against theft but also against the elements. For use in all weathers, this is a handy additional feature.

Who is an anti-theft backpack ideal for?

An anti-theft backpack is ideal for anyone who travels a lot, commutes or often finds themselves in busy places, such as business people and city dwellers. It is also a much-appreciated corporate gift for employees who are regularly on the road. The combination of security and style makes it suitable for many uses.

How do I clean an anti-theft backpack?

Clean an anti-theft backpack preferably with a damp cloth and mild soap, so the protective coating and the print stay intact. Avoid the washing machine and tumble dryer, as they can damage the material and finish. Then let the backpack air-dry.

What is the minimum order for anti-theft backpacks?

Stock models can often be personalised from smaller quantities, with the price per item dropping as the run increases. For a company-wide rollout or a gift for travelling employees, this is a great option. Ask us for a tailored quote for the quantity you need.
