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. Screen print and DTF are 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. Order a single piece or a full department — there is no minimum either way.

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?
There is no minimum. You can order a single piece — one bag for one new hire is a real order here, not a special favor. Mix colors and mix in other decorated apparel with no quantity tier to hit. Caps are the one exception in our catalog: those start at 12 pieces. Everything else, including this bag, ships from one.

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 or screen print, and we will tell you which we recommend 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, this backpack does not.

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.

Send your logo and we will return a free digital mockup of the embroidered Recess Backpack. More options in custom bags and coolers.

1. After your order is placed, we enter it into our system and send an "Artwork & Mockup Approval" email within 24-36 hours. This is to verify design, design placement, size, and product colors.
2. Once you approve the artwork mockup, we create the .dst file (stitch file). This file is used to tell our embroidery machines what to stitch. Note: Cancellation after this step incurs a $30 restocking fee.
3. We create a sewout and/or update the mockup using the .dst file and send it to you for approval. It's at this point where you want to make sure all colors, size, and placement are as requested.
4. You may request changes to the same design before sewout and/or .dst approval. A completely new design request at this stage incurs a $30 fee.
5. After final approval, production begins. Once items are decorated, the order is non-refundable unless there is a defect in the product or decoration.

A $30 setup fee is automatically added to the cart and required for all orders. This covers the order processing costs.
