Some of the best years of our lives are going on school tours for sports and extra mural activities.  Something I always associate with these memories is having really cool kit made with the team, as well as a funky backpack to go with it.  Recently I saw a group on a school sports tour carrying their backpacks and it reminded me of all the fun that went into designing and choosing my own backpack for sports tours.

Backpacks for Sports tours

In my sports team we each had our own special number. For some reason, every player seemed to grow attached to their number and become a bit possesive over it. Rather funny when I think back on it now.  Inevitably having your number on every single piece of clothing you got for tour was essential. Of course this included our backpacks.

I have the fondest memories of walking together as a team, matching backpacks and clothing, thinking we were the coolest kids on the block.  This made me think of the variosu things that school kids should include on their backpacks today.

• Your number should be printed or embroided in the middle of the backpack
• School emblem definatelly has to feature
• A personalised keyring with some quote of the tournament has to be attached as a keyring.
• Then of course the school color must be added
• and possibly a nickname can be included too

At brand innovation there plenty of cool backpacks your sports team could personalise for their teams!

Take this backpack for example:

The Cobalt backpack

•  chosen front colour to match your school or sports team
• personalized branding for numbers and nicknames
• perfect size for sports clothes and other needs
• comfortable
• water bottle holder

All these features make the Cobalt back pack the perfect sports backpack to bring any sports team together.  For some reason having the same bags and clothing on does make everything that much more fun. It definitely makes you feel part of something like the team team and being able to join them in making memories.

This back pack is not only limited to sports teams, but any group of people who are participating in an activity and want that special item to feel more bonded.

If your team is in need of a backpack and keen for some serious bonding, contact brand innovation for personalized sports backpacks suited to your needs.

I have just recently been on a trip to Hong Kong and an essential item I always have to have on me is my laptop. I loved being able to pop into a coffee shop or internet cafe and fill my friends and family in on all my news and updates. I also found that it was useful for logging onto Google maps and finding my way around the city.

The only problem was that it became the biggest nightmare to cart my laptop around. I was constantly worrying about which bag to put it in, if it would be safe inside the bag, or if I would leave it lying around.  When I got home from the trip the first thing I decided was that I need to buy myself a laptop backpack. So I did some research and decided to see which would be the best one.

The features  I took into consideration was the

• Comfort
• How easy it was to get my laptop out
• How safe my laptop would be inside
• any other cool features

What is the best laptop backpack?

The first backpack I looked at was the

Burbank laptop backpack

I love this Burbank laptop Backpack because its:

• comfortable
• has plenty of space for other items
• easy to carry around
• convenient
• place for a water bottle
• includes an earphone outlet

Another option I looked at was The ecological laptop backpack

This was pretty cool to use in the airport because it has a

• slide loading laptop compartment
• has a really cool side mobile or media pocket
• side zipper for your wallet
• extra support for comfort

This bag looks like the perfect item to have when flying!

The next bag I looked at was the Quantam Laptop backpack

I really lied this backpack because it looked

• Enables me to carry my laptop on an outing
• Great size
• comfortable

All the above laptops that Brand Innovation has available were really awesome choices!  For strolling around Hong Kong or any other big city I want to visit, I decided the Burbank laptop backpack was the best for me. It looked comfy, could fit in other essential items, and even had a place for my water bottle, which I love taking on outings!

Next time I go on a trip I’m making my life easier and am taking this item with me!

The trolley backpack is a new innovative product which allows for the best of both worlds enabling one the luxury of either having a wheeler bag or a back pack, providing an efficient solution to tackle any road blocks in our busy lives.

The airport

This backpack is

• perfect for short business trips

• can keep your laptop and documents in order.

For longer trips we recommend a slightly different bag such as the challenger laptop trolley backpack

This trolley backpack has

• a multiple compartment backpack
• has plenty of space for your laptop and important documents
• adds an elegance to your persona

This backpack is the perfect size to take as hand luggage. I always find myself envying people who only take hand luggage on their trips.  It saves you so much time waiting for your luggage after your flight and also ensures that nothing gets stolen at the airport.

Work and School

This product is not only convenient for flying and travel, but also for everyday use.  Its the perfect item for children to take to school, especially because of its functionality.What makes this product so unique is that it can be used to pull around, but can also easily be thrown over your shoulder and transformed into a backpack.  Now thats what we call getting the most out of a product.

In the business world this product can be particularly useful and save you plenty of time. If you walk to work you can drag it alongside you and if you need to climb any stairs you simply slip it on your back! How easy is that.
