Made for the whole school journey

Every Pack Pals bag starts as a tough, recycled school bag. We add your one-of-a-kind design with a soft, vivid print that's built to keep up.

The bag

Every bag in the range uses the same tested fabric.

100% recycled polyester

The main fabric is woven entirely from recycled polyester. It is tough on the outside and lighter on the planet.

Abrasion resistant

Built to shrug off daily scuffs from playgrounds, bus floors and locker shelves.

Colour-fastness tested

Tested to Australian standards so the colour stays bright, term after term.

Strength tested

The fabric is strength tested to meet Australian standards, so it holds up to a full school load.

The print

Your design is turned into a print-ready file the moment you order. We print it as a direct-to-film (DTF) transfer and heat-press it onto the bag at around 150°C, so the ink bonds into the fabric.

UltraColour MAXPrinted with UltraColour MAX premium DTF transfers
  • Printed in Australia. Your design is printed as a premium direct-to-film (DTF) transfer by an Australian print house, then heat-pressed onto your bag.
  • Full, vivid colour. Printed in full colour with dense ink, so bright colours and fine details pop, even on Black and Navy bags.
  • Soft and flexible. The print bonds into the fabric and flexes with the bag, so it won't feel like a stiff sticker.
  • Built to last. The transfers are wash-tested for 50+ cycles, so the design keeps its colour and detail.
  • Safer inks. Printed with OEKO-TEX® certified inks and adhesive, which are tested for harmful substances.
