Design Your Own Backpack

How it works

1. Upload your images. Photos, artwork, a logo, whatever you have.
2. Add text. A name, a nickname, a leavers' year, a team.
3. Position everything. Drag, scale and rotate until it looks right, then preview the finished bag before you buy.

The bag itself

This is a proper roomy backpack, measuring 44cm tall, 30cm wide and 14cm deep. There is plenty of space inside for textbooks, folders, a lunchbox and a laptop, plus handy pockets on either side that keep a water bottle within easy reach. The straps are adjustable, so it stays comfortable however much you are carrying.

What people put on them

Pets are the most common by a distance, followed by holiday photos, football crests and band logos. Names are hugely popular for school bags, since a personalised backpack is a lot harder to lose in a cloakroom of identical black rucksacks.

Buying it as a gift

A backpack with someone's dog on it lands better than most gifts at this price, which is why these sell hardest around back to school, Christmas and birthdays. For more ideas, browse our design your own range or the full backpack collection.

Getting a sharp print

Upload the highest resolution image you have. A screenshot of a screenshot will print like one. Anything above roughly 1500 pixels on the shortest side will look crisp on a bag this size. Keep faces and text away from the very edges, since the print wraps slightly around the seams.

Printing, delivery and returns

Every backpack is printed in the UK, made to order. Because each one is made to your design, personalised orders cannot be returned or exchanged unless they arrive faulty or damaged, so do check your preview carefully before you order. Free worldwide shipping on every order.

Every order plants a tree.
