This category brings together backpacks and shoulder bags for carrying everyday essentials, documents or equipment at events. Beyond appearance, the main considerations are how a bag is carried, how easily its contents can be accessed, its internal organisation and comfort in use.
The types shown also include simple drawstring bags that can be worn much like a lightweight backpack. Before choosing, consider what people will actually carry, how often they will use the bag and whether the selected model is suitable for the intended branding.

Which carrying style suits your needs?
Backpacks and drawstring bags
A backpack makes sense when you want to carry items across both shoulders. When comparing models, check capacity, strap length and adjustability, closure type and compartment layout where these details are specified. A drawstring bag is generally simpler: the cords often close the opening and act as shoulder straps. It may be sufficient for lightweight essentials, but for heavier loads or longer use, check the support and comfort offered by the specific model. For a closer comparison, explore promotional backpacks and drawstring bags.
Shoulder bags
A bag with a shoulder strap gives you a different way to access belongings than a backpack. Check whether the strap is adjustable, how the bag closes and whether its shape suits documents, small objects or other intended contents. For more compact options, you can also compare shoulder and waist bags.
Details that help with selection and ordering
Compare the dimensions and usable capacity of individual models rather than relying on photos alone. If you will be carrying a laptop or tablet, check the internal dimensions and any protection provided: the word “backpack” does not imply a padded compartment. For that purpose, browse laptop and tablet backpacks. When maintaining the temperature of food or drinks matters, consider dedicated cooler bags, as an ordinary bag is not necessarily insulated.
For promotional orders, the visibility of your artwork also matters. The available area, seams, shape and material may affect the design size and suitable branding method. Gajcom assesses personalisation options according to the selected item, artwork, quantity and desired finish; not every method suits every bag. To request a specific quotation, prepare the model reference, estimated quantity and artwork file.

Frequently asked questions
Are drawstring bags suitable for heavier items?
Do not judge by appearance alone. Before using one in this way, check the stated load capacity, seams, cords and carrying comfort of the selected model; if this information is missing, ask for clarification.
Do all backpacks have a laptop compartment?
No. A dedicated compartment, padding and suitable internal dimensions are features of individual products. Compare your device’s dimensions with the specifications of the chosen model.
How can I check whether a bag protects against rain?
Look for an explicit statement about water repellency or waterproofing in the individual product details. These terms are not interchangeable: a water-repellent material does not mean all routes for water entry are sealed.
What is needed to enquire about bags with a logo?
It helps to provide the chosen model, approximate quantity, artwork and desired branding position. Gajcom can help review the file and suitability of the proposed method; the personalisation details are agreed in the quotation or order confirmation.
