TravisMathew Recess Backpack TMB109

Custom Embroidered TravisMathew Recess Backpack TMB109

The TravisMathew Recess Backpack TMB109 is a 600D coated poly PU backpack with a capacity of 1,281.5 cu. in. (21 L), measuring 18"h x 12"w x 6.25"d and weighing 1.9 lbs., with separate laptop and tablet sleeves. IT departments, engineering teams and hybrid-office employers buy it as a standard-issue work pack. Wholesale Caps and Embroidery embroiders every one in-house at our Houston, TX facility, where we have decorated apparel and bags since 1979.

Embroidery is the lead method. The large zippered front pocket gives a flat, supported panel that hoops well, so a stitched company mark sits square. DTF print is available if you want a wider graphic or a department name run across the panel. Digitizing and stitching are done by our own team in Houston.

Why Buyers Pick It

Look at the laptop sleeve: 16.5"h x 10"w x 1"d, sized for most 17-inch machines. That single spec is why technical teams end up here. Engineers, developers and field IT staff carry big laptops, and most branded packs top out at 15 or 16 inches, which means the bag you bought sits in a closet. The Recess also splits the laptop and tablet into separate sleeves and still weighs only 1.9 lbs. empty. Issue one to a new engineer on day one — you are not obligated to buy a case.

Sizing

One size, OSFA, in Black or River Blue Navy. Capacity is 1,281.5 cubic inches (21 L) in an 18"h x 12"w x 6.25"d body that weighs 1.9 lbs. empty. The device fit is the number most buyers care about: the padded laptop sleeve is 16.5"h x 10"w x 1"d and fits most 17-inch laptops, with a separate tablet sleeve alongside it. DTF orders have no minimum on this backpack; embroidered orders need at least 6 pieces total, which can also be mixed across colors.

How to Order

Pick your colors, tell us the quantity, and send your logo in any format you have. DTF orders have no minimum — order a single piece for one person or a pallet for a full rollout — while embroidered orders need at least 6 pieces total, and colors can be mixed either way. We send a free digital mockup showing your embroidery at actual size and placement before anything is sewn. Once you approve the proof, production runs 7–10 business days, with rush available on request. Free ground shipping applies to most orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the TravisMathew Recess Backpack TMB109?
It is a 600D coated poly PU work backpack holding 1,281.5 cu. in. (21 L), 18"h x 12"w x 6.25"d, weighing 1.9 lbs., with separate laptop and tablet sleeves. Wholesale Caps and Embroidery is a decorator rather than a blank-goods seller — we embroider your logo on it in-house at our Houston, TX facility.

Is there a minimum order?
DTF print has no minimum — one bag for one new hire is a real order here, not a special favor, and you can mix colors freely. Embroidery requires a 6-piece minimum, which you can also mix across colors. Caps are a separate exception in our catalog, starting at 12 pieces.

Will a 17-inch laptop actually fit?
Yes. The dedicated padded laptop sleeve measures 16.5"h x 10"w x 1"d and fits most 17-inch laptops, with a separate tablet sleeve beside it. Total capacity is 1,281.5 cubic inches / 21 liters in an 18"h x 12"w x 6.25"d body.

Can you stitch a department name as well as a logo?
Yes. The large zippered front pocket is a good flat panel for a logo with a department or location line beneath it. Keep lettering at 0.25 inch tall or more so it stays legible in thread. Larger multi-color art may run better as DTF, and we will tell you if we recommend it on the mockup.

Do you keep my artwork for reorders?
Yes. We digitize your logo once and keep the embroidery file on our server permanently. Reorders skip setup entirely — email us the style number and the quantity and we run it stitch-for-stitch identical to the first batch, however many months later.

Can I use one logo across new-hire kits?
Yes — that is exactly the use. The same digitized file goes on hoodies, t-shirts and any of our bags and coolers. Caps can be added to the same order; caps start at 12 pieces, embroidery on this backpack starts at 6, and DTF on this backpack has no minimum.

How fast can I get them?
Production is 7–10 business days from the moment you approve your digital mockup. Proofs usually go out within one business day of receiving artwork. Rush service is available on request — tell us your in-hands date when you send the order and we will confirm whether we can hit it. Free ground shipping on most orders.
