Custom Gear Bags for Teams, Corporate, and Adventure
Custom gear bags are one of the most functional and high-value promotional products a business can invest in. A decorated gear bag travels with your customer to the gym, the airport, the trail, and the office — putting your logo in front of new audiences with every trip.
At DTLA Print, we specialize in technical screen printing, premium embroidery, and specialized transfers for gear bags. We source bags from trusted brands like Patagonia, Helly Hansen, and Johnnie-O, handling all decoration in-house. Every order includes a free design proof before production begins.
Technical screen printing on gear bags
Screen printing and heat-applied transfers deliver bold, full-color graphics on gear bag side panels. Our inks are formulated for TPU-laminated nylon and ripstop polyester — resistant to friction, cracking, and the daily wear of athletic and travel use. Transfers are ideal for multi-color logos on water-resistant synthetic surfaces.
- · Inks formulated for technical nylon and poly
- · Transfers for multi-color artwork on synthetics
- · Resists friction, cracking, and weather
Premium embroidery & patches on gear bags
For a tactile, heritage finish, we offer raised-thread embroidery and custom patches on gear bags. Embroidery adds a professional stitched logo to heavyweight nylon and canvas panels; woven and embroidered patches deliver a rugged, high-end look on technical duffel faces. Both methods pair beautifully with webbed handles and grey, olive, or navy color-blocked bags.
- · Raised-thread embroidery on nylon and canvas panels
- · Woven and embroidered patches for rugged branding
- · Premium tactile finish for team and corporate gear
Gear bag silhouettes we decorate across
We decorate across every gear bag silhouette — rectangular technical duffels, rolling travel duffels, weekender bags, and compact travel kits. Source the blank that fits your brand, and we'll match the decoration method, thread color, and placement to your brand guidelines.
- · Duffel, weekender, rolling, and travel-kit silhouettes
- · Decoration across TPU nylon, ripstop, canvas, and recycled poly

Questions about Custom Gear Bags?
FAQ
Everything you need to know about styles, decoration, and delivery.
Can you decorate gear bags made from technical fabrics like TPU?
Yes. We use specialized transfer methods and technical inks that adhere to TPU-coated, nylon, and recycled polyester surfaces. Our team will recommend the best decoration method based on your specific bag material.
What is the difference between a gear cube and a wash bag?
Gear cubes are structured, zippered organizers designed for packing clothes and equipment. Wash bags are typically mesh or poly-lined pouches designed for toiletries and liquids. Both can be decorated with your custom logo or branding.
