What is the Drawstring Backpack?
Catalogued as SBL049, this bag sits in the part of the range that gets re-ordered rather than tried once. It measures 12" x 15 3/4".
Built to survive real use rather than a single event, that is what separates a promotional item that keeps working from one that ends up in a drawer.
A bag is the largest imprint area in promotional products and it is seen by everyone the carrier walks past. Decoration method is matched to the substrate so the mark is permanent rather than printed on top. The two together are why this item re-orders.
Programs that run year after year usually settle at this tier. It clears the quality bar that decides whether something is kept, without the per-unit cost that forces a shorter list. Concretely: $19.95 each at 1-11, $12.37 at 500+.

Decoration options
The decoration method is chosen to match the substrate, which is why the mark is permanent rather than printed on top of it. Standard imprint area on this item is 5 in x 5 in.
Laser Engraving
A focused laser removes the surface layer to expose the substrate beneath. A permanent, high-contrast, single-color mark with no ink involved.
Best for
Logos, names, dates and fine text. The default choice when the mark has to outlive the campaign.
Color
Single color: the natural color of the material under the surface.
UV Printing
UV-cured ink is jetted directly onto the product and cured instantly under ultraviolet light. Full-color, photographic-quality artwork with hard edges and no dot gain.
Best for
Multi-color logos, gradients, photographs and exact brand-color matching.
Color
Full color, including white ink on dark substrates.
Artwork requirements
- Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
- Name the PMS values for anything that has to match a brand standard; screen color is not a reliable reference.
- Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
- We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.
- Do not spend a week hunting for the perfect file. Send what exists and we will tell you what is usable.
Production schedule
| Artwork proof | 1 business day from receipt of usable art |
|---|---|
| Standard production | 3 to 5 business days after proof approval |
| Rush production | quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay |
| Ground transit | 1 to 5 business days depending on destination |
Common uses
Conference and trade show kitsWorks well for conference and trade show kits, where the bag format does what a printed handout cannot.
Retail and grocery programsBuilt for retail and grocery programs. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Employee giftingEmployee gifting is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Internal contests and incentivesA tangible prize outperforms a gift card for exactly the reason you would expect. It stays on the desk.
Safety and quality milestonesMarking a record that took every person on the floor to achieve, with something they can point at.
Customer loyalty tiersA physical marker of status that an account dashboard cannot replicate.
Client thank-you programsSent after a renewal, a referral or a project close, when the relationship is warm and the gesture will land.
Where this works best
The same item lands differently depending on who gets it and why. Here is how this one performs across the programs it sells into most.
1
Onboarding & New Hire Kits
Day one sets the tone for everything after it. Split the kit by what it signals. One item should be genuinely useful on day one, one should be shareable outside work, and one should carry the name of the team rather than the company. That mix does more for belonging than a single expensive piece. At $12.37 in volume the cost per kept item is hard to beat.
2
Nonprofit & Fundraising
Every pound spent on a donor gift is a pound not spent on the mission, so the gift has to earn it. Recognition pieces for major donors and board members are the clearest win: they are relatively few, they are highly personal, and they materially affect renewal. For event merchandise, price the item to sell rather than to give. Roughly 38% comes off between one piece and a full run.
3
Healthcare & Senior Living
Healthcare buyers screen for practicality and hygiene before they screen for design. Shift work changes the specification. Items are carried between home, locker and ward, so anything that leaks, breaks or cannot go through a dishwasher gets abandoned within a fortnight regardless of how good it looked at the point of purchase. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. At $19.95 before breaks this is the tier most programmes should live in.
4
Franchise & Multi-Location Brands
The hard problem in multi-location branding is consistency, not creativity. Artwork drift is cumulative and invisible until it is severe. A locked file held centrally against each item number, rather than a logo emailed between locations, is what stops forty sites gradually producing forty logos. A bag is the largest imprint area in promotional products and it is seen by everyone the carrier walks past. Good enough to be kept, affordable enough to order in real quantity.
5
Trade Shows & Conferences
Booth traffic is not the metric: what leaves the hall and stays in use is. Run a two-tier giveaway: a low-cost item for everyone who stops, and a genuinely good piece reserved for qualified conversations. The second tier is what people remember when your follow-up email arrives a week later. Decoration method is matched to the substrate so the mark is permanent rather than printed on top. This is the sweet spot: real perceived value without a procurement conversation.
6
Education, Schools & Universities
Education buys in waves: orientation, homecoming, graduation, staff appreciation. Departments buy separately even when the brand is shared, which is how a university ends up with nine versions of its own crest. A single approved item list with locked artwork solves more than any individual purchasing decision will. The bag format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. $19.95 before breaks buys something people keep rather than bin.

What do buyers ask about SBL049?
What artwork do you need from me?
Send vector if it exists, raster at 300 dpi if it does not, and whatever you have if neither. The personalization area on SBL049 is 5 in x 5 in, and we redraw or re-proportion anything that will not survive it. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing.
Is there a setup charge?
There is no setup charge, ever. Art preparation, machine setup and the proof are part of the price on this page. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout. Ground freight is free on orders over $250.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
Most orders land near 48-95, which prices at $15.96 a piece. The published ladder on SBL049 runs from $19.95 a piece at 1-11 down to $12.37 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. SBL049 sells from a single unit at $19.95, the first rung of its published ladder, so a sample is simply a normal order. A decorated single piece goes through the same proof as a full run.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows more than 1,000 of SBL049 in stock as of the last hourly sync. If a color is short we say so the day you order rather than the week before the deadline. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.

How should this be cared for?
Wipe clean with a soft damp cloth. SBL049 measures 12" x 15 3/4". Built to survive real use rather than a single event, that is what separates a promotional item that keeps working from one that ends up in a drawer.

- Ground freight is free from 12 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 5 in by 5 in. Engraving is charged on the share your artwork actually covers, so a smaller logo costs less. Place yours on the product above and the price updates as you size it.
- At 50 pieces this costs less than 60% of the 45 other priced items in Bags & Travel.
- The table starts at 12 because below that the engraving setup costs more than the goods, and we will not guess at a price there. Ask us and we will quote a smaller run from your artwork.
- Setup is free at every quantity, including 12.
