Collection: Custom Backpacks

Custom backpacks are daypacks and travel packs decorated with your company logo via embroidery or DTF (Direct to Film) printing. Embroidery orders start at 6 pieces, mixable across colors within a style; DTF print has no minimum — order a single piece if that's all you need. Businesses use them for employee onboarding kits, trade show giveaways, sales team travel gear, and client and customer gifts. At Wholesale Caps and Embroidery, we've decorated backpacks in-house from our Houston facility since 1979 — every order gets a free digital mockup for approval before we stitch or print a single logo.

Our custom backpack lineup runs deep on OGIO daypacks and technical packs — commuter packs, rolltop packs, sling packs, and travel packs — alongside TravisMathew golf-lifestyle backpacks like the Duration and Lateral, plus the The North Face 35L Travel Backpack for premium travel programs. Every style is decorated in-house with flat embroidery or full-color DTF printing — embroidery starts at a 6-piece minimum per style, mixable across colors, while DTF printing has no minimum at all — we never sell these blank, and we never outsource the decoration.

Backpacks carry a logo further than almost anything else you can brand: an OGIO commuter pack rides to the office every day, a travel pack goes through the airport on a business trip, and a team daypack shows up at every practice and tournament. Companies use custom backpacks for new-hire welcome kits, sales incentive gifts, conference and trade show swag, and school or team programs where a durable bag beats another T-shirt. Before you commit to a full order, build it out in our online mockup and quote tool, save a shareable link with real product images, and send it to whoever needs to sign off — no purchase required to get that approval in hand.

Send us your logo in any common file format and we'll turn around a free digital proof showing exactly how it will look on the bag you picked. Once you approve it, production runs 7–10 business days, with rush turnaround available for tighter deadlines. Every decorated backpack order ships free — there's no per-piece shipping charge to plan around.

Backpack Styles and Brands

We carry dozens of OGIO daypacks — from lightweight commuter and sling packs to structured rolltop and travel packs — built for everyday durability and logo real estate on the front panel. For a more upscale, golf-lifestyle look, our TravisMathew Approach Backpack, Recess Backpack, and Lateral Backpack pair well with a matching polo or quarter-zip order. For executive travel programs, the The North Face 35L Travel Backpack is a premium, high-capacity option.

Decoration Methods

Backpacks are decorated with two methods, both done in-house at our Houston facility:

• Embroidery — A stitched, durable logo on the front panel or pocket. Best for simple logos and a classic corporate look. 6-piece minimum per style, mixable across colors.
• DTF (Direct to Film) printing — Full-color, photo-realistic transfers with unlimited colors, ideal for detailed or multi-color logos. No minimum — order a single piece if that's all you need.

We do not offer patches, 3D puff embroidery, or screen printing on backpacks — those methods either don't hold up on bag materials or aren't part of what we offer here.

Popular Uses

Custom backpacks show up most often in employee onboarding and welcome kits, sales incentive and recognition gifts, trade show and conference giveaways, corporate travel programs, and team or school gear orders. Because the logo rides on something people actually carry every day, backpacks tend to get more real-world visibility per piece than most other branded merchandise.

How to Order

Pick a backpack style below, upload your logo, and use the built-in customizer to preview placement and build out your full order — including multiple styles or colors under one quote. Save it as a shareable quote with mockup images so a manager or teammate can approve it before anything is purchased. Once approved, we send a final free digital proof, and production begins after your sign-off. Standard turnaround is 7–10 business days, with rush options available. Call 713-923-5555 with questions or to place a phone order.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are custom backpacks?
Custom backpacks are daypacks and travel packs decorated with your logo via embroidery or DTF printing at our Houston facility, with a free digital proof before production. They are not blank bags — every order is decorated to your specification and comes with a mockup for approval first.

What decoration methods are available for backpacks?
We offer flat embroidery and DTF (Direct to Film) printing. We do not offer patches, 3D puff embroidery, or screen printing on backpacks — those are either cap-only methods or not something we provide on bag materials.

What is the minimum order for custom backpacks?
Embroidery orders start at 6 pieces per style, mixable across colors within that style. DTF (Direct to Film) printing has no minimum at all — you can order a single backpack if that's all you need.

Can I get approval from my team before ordering?
Yes. Build your full order in our online customizer, save it as a shareable quote with real mockup images, and send the link to whoever needs to sign off — your manager, a coworker, or a client — before anything is purchased. Once approved, submit the quote and we'll begin production.

Do you keep my artwork on file for reorders?
Yes. Your logo file stays on file after your first order, so reorders — even in a different backpack style or color — ship within our standard production time without needing new artwork.

Can I order multiple backpack styles or colors with the same logo?
Yes. You can mix OGIO, TravisMathew, and The North Face styles and colors under the same logo and the same order. Embroidered pieces count toward the 6-piece embroidery minimum, and DTF-printed pieces can be added with no minimum of their own.

Do you offer volume pricing?
Yes. Per-unit pricing improves at higher quantities. Call 713-923-5555 or use the online quote tool for current volume pricing on the style you want.

What is your turnaround time?
Standard production is 7–10 business days after you approve your free digital proof. Rush turnaround is available for tighter deadlines — call 713-923-5555 to confirm rush availability for your order.
