A Genuinely Wide Price Range, Not Just One Product Type
Most categories on this site have a fairly narrow price spread. Backpacks don’t: the cheapest option here is under £2, the most expensive is over £200, and the difference isn’t just size or capacity, it’s brand recognition and build quality. That makes the buying decision less about “what backpack” and more about what the backpack needs to say about the gift or the giveaway it’s part of.
Three Real Tiers in This Range
Budget and recycled backpacks, mostly GRS or RPET recycled fabric, work well for bulk giveaways and event merchandise where volume matters more than individual perceived value. Mid-range branded options from names like Herschel, Thule and Case Logic add genuine third-party brand recognition, useful for staff gifts where the backpack itself is expected to last years. Premium Moleskine leather backpacks sit apart entirely, more suited to senior client gifts or executive onboarding than bulk staff packs.
| Tier | Typical Price | Best For | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Budget / recycled | £2 to £10 | Bulk giveaways, event merchandise | Retrend GRS RPET backpack 16L |
| Mid-range branded | £15 to £100 | Staff gifts, onboarding, long-term use | Thule Notus backpack 20L |
| Premium leather | £100 and above | Senior client gifts, executive onboarding | Moleskine Classic leather backpack |
Recognisable Brands Do Real Work Here
Unlike most categories on this site, a meaningful share of this range is built around third-party brand names people already recognise: Herschel, Thule, Case Logic and Moleskine. For a client gift specifically, that recognition can matter as much as your own logo, since the recipient’s first impression is often the brand on the bag before they notice the branding on it.
Need a Laptop Compartment Specifically?
Several backpacks here do include padded laptop sleeves, but if a protected laptop compartment is the primary requirement rather than a nice-to-have, our dedicated laptop backpacks category is built specifically around that need, with sizing and padding details compared directly.

Do any of these backpacks fit a laptop?
