Custom travel backpacks for hiking and trips: cost and what to choose
An outdoor or travel backpack with your logo costs from CHF 21.25 per unit, with printing included. The right backpack for a short hike is not the same as one for cycling or a getaway with a laptop: capacity, water protection and the best branding method all change. Here you can see today’s prices, the most common uses with real models, and what matters before you order.
How much does a custom hiking backpack cost?
Price per unit with your logo in one colour in the standard print area, excluding VAT and delivery. The unit price drops as quantities rise because set-up costs are spread across more units.

For an outdoor team day
For a company outing or a wellbeing programme, a lightweight day backpack works well, with a mesh back panel, side pockets and just enough room for water, a jacket and a bit of food. In this selection, comfortable custom hiking backpacks and styles with front panels suited to transfer printing fit best.
Don’t automatically go for the largest capacity: on a short day out, extra volume is unnecessary and the backpack is less practical to use. If there may be rain or a return after dark, check the product page for a cover, waterproof fabric or reflective details, and keep the logo away from those areas.

When the backpack needs to work for a short break, the commute by bike or longer routes, it is worth moving up a level. This is where styles with wide openings, laptop compartments, ventilated back panels or closures designed for rain and exposed journeys come into their own.
On waterproof fabrics, avoid embroidery: the stitches pierce the material, so the logo is better applied with transfer printing. If the use will mix office and weekend plans, check the laptop compartment size first and make sure the branding does not cover reflective details, zips or seams.

If you are buying for different profiles, the most practical option is to browse the full category. That way you can compare lightweight backpacks, travel options, waterproof models and useful luggage accessories using the same criteria for capacity, comfort and branding.
Before you decide, think about the real use: a laptop backpack may get more use than a hiking backpack if the team is not often outdoors. And if you want to complete a pack, pair it with a flask or a torch.

How each type of backpack is branded

|---|---|---|
| Technical or recycled polyester | Screen transfer | Flat-colour logo with strong adhesion on the front |
| Models suitable for many colours | Digital transfer | Reproduces gradients and fine details on compatible models |
| Non-waterproof hiking and travel backpacks | Embroidery | Raised finish, visible and durable on areas without seams |
| Waterproof or reflective fabric | Screen transfer | Better than embroidery so the fabric is not pierced and visible areas are not covered |
