Promotional drawstring backpacks
Last Updated on July 24, 2025 by Rachel Leone
Looking for a trendy one-size-fits-all marketing idea?
Drawstring backpacks are affordable marketing promotions that make excellent swag giveaways at sporting events, school activities, trade shows, and more! They're lightweight, easy to distribute, and popular with recipients of all ages. Below are some marketing tips and a few of my favorites to inspire you!
Why market your business with drawstring backpacks?
- Affordable - With many drawstring backpacks starting under $5 each and some under $3 per piece, they're a promotion that isn't going to break your marketing budget.
- They hold things - If your business or organization is looking for a way to create a kit for incoming students, prospects at trade shows, or attendees at an event, placing all your marketing swag inside a branded drawstring backpack is a great solution. Fill these bags with sunscreen, marketing collateral, maps, bottles, promotional pens; you name it. Seeing groups of recipients walking around with your branded bags filled with your materials is always a thrill.
- They're easy to distribute - Because they're lightweight and can be folded tightly and packed into boxes, drawstring backpacks are portable. You can easily take a box to trade shows or have extras stashed under your table. Fill them ahead of events and place them in hotel rooms or dorms.
- One-size-fits-all - Unlike promotional apparel, drawstring backpacks fit everyone and anyone. Men, women, old, young, tall, or short. Everyone can use a drawstring backpack.
- Long-lasting - Drawstring backpacks are great for the day of an event, but they're built to be used over and over again. That means every time a kid heads off to summer camp or the beach with a pack full of stuff, your logo and your business are getting exposure.
