Which type of bum bag should you choose?
The range splits into a few shapes, and the right one depends mostly on what people will carry. A phone, keys and a card fit almost anywhere. A water bottle or a jumper needs a bigger bag with a proper strap, which is why a few styles here come with a bottle holder.
| Style | Example in the range | What the page states | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zip waist bag | Aspen Waist Bag | 16 x 30 x 9 cm, main zip compartment, two front zip pockets, adjustable webbing belt, black | Events and staff, where one simple bag gets handed out in volume |
| Recycled waist bag | AS Colour Recycled Double Waist Bag | 360 gsm, 100% recycled polyester, 4 litre capacity, 28 x 18 x 8 cm, black | Brands that want a name-brand blank with a sturdier feel |
| Small recycled waist bag | Byron Recycled Waist Bag 1.5L | Recycled polyester, water-repellent, about 100 g, 310 x 165 x 70 mm, ten colours | Festivals, travel and giveaways where colour matching matters |
| Running belt | Sprint Running Belt | Water-resistant nylon, 1 litre, elastic strap, headphone cable outlet | Fun runs, gyms and sports clubs |
| Sublimation waist bag | Full Size Sublimation Sports Waist Bag | Polyester, 28 x 11.3 cm, colour set by your print | Full-colour, edge-to-edge artwork |
| Neck and travel pouch | Security Neck Pouch | Soft nylon mesh, several compartments, worn under clothing | Travel, tours and conferences |
If you only need something small for a phone and a card, look at our branded pouches instead. And if people will be carrying a laptop or a change of clothes, a bum bag is too small, so go to custom backpacks.
How can you decorate a promotional bum bag?
Most bum bags are polyester or nylon with a small, fairly flat front panel, which suits a one or two colour logo well. Here is how the main methods work on them.
- Screen printing is the one we would pick for most orders. It gives a solid, hard-wearing logo, and the cost per bag falls as the quantity grows.
- DTF transfers suit a full-colour logo, fine detail or a short run, because there are no separate colour setups.
- Sublimation dyes the ink into the fabric, so it can cover the whole bag edge to edge without peeling. It only works on polyester, and the sublimation bag in this range is made for it.
- Embroidery is worth asking about on heavier fabrics such as the 360 gsm AS Colour bag. Fine text and small detail don't stitch well, so the artwork team confirms on the proof whether it suits your logo.
On a front panel the logo is sized to the space the bag allows, and the proof shows you exactly where it sits and how big it is. Most product pages let you choose one, two or three decoration positions, and every extra position adds to the cost, so one clean front print is usually enough.
How does ordering work?
There's no minimum, so a club can order a dozen and a festival can order thousands. Each order carries a one-off setup for the logo, which means the price per bag drops noticeably from around 10 units, and you can mix colours of the same bag under one design while the whole order counts towards the quantity price. We send a free digital proof first, and nothing goes into production until you approve it. Some stocked orders can be ready the same day, and your quote confirms the timing for your bags.
Who buys branded bum bags, and why?
At a festival, fun run or expo, a bum bag is worn for the whole day, so your logo is on show to everyone around the wearer, which a bag tucked in a handbag never is. Sports clubs and gyms give them to members who then use them on every run or walk. Tour operators and travel agencies hand out neck pouches and waist bags with the itinerary, so the brand stays with guests for the whole trip.
Staff are a good fit too. Ushers, volunteers and stallholders carry cash, cards and a phone, and a branded waist bag keeps their hands free while making them easy to spot. For an onboarding or event pack, our kitting service can put a bag together with a tee and a bottle.
What else goes well with bum bags?
Bags are often ordered as a set. Sports bags suit teams who need to carry kit as well, drawstring bags are the cheaper option for large crowds, and printed tote bags carry the rest of an event pack.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best print method for a bum bag?
Screen printing is the usual choice for a one or two colour logo on a polyester or nylon bum bag, because it is durable and gets cheaper per bag as volume rises. For full colour or fine detail, DTF transfer is the better fit. Your proof shows the method the artwork team has settled on.
Can you print all over a bum bag?
Yes, on the sublimation waist bag. Sublimation dyes ink into polyester, so artwork can run edge to edge without a surface layer that cracks or peels. It only works on polyester, so the standard black and coloured styles are decorated with screen print or transfer instead. Send your artwork and the proof shows the result before anything is made.
How big can my logo be on a waist bag?
The logo is sized to the space on the bag, and there is no fixed figure that suits every style. A small front panel, like the 16 x 30 cm Aspen, takes a compact logo, while a larger bag has more room. The free proof shows the exact size and position, and you can adjust it before approving.
Will a printed logo survive sweat, rain and washing?
Screen print and DTF are both made to cope with everyday wear, and sublimation is dyed into the fabric. Water-resistant bags such as the Sprint Running Belt are still best wiped clean, not machine washed, because heat and tumbling can wear any print or zip. Your account manager can advise on care for the bag you choose.
What artwork file do you need for a bum bag?
A vector file (AI, EPS, SVG or vector PDF) is best for screen print and any embroidery, with fonts converted to outlines. For DTF or sublimation, a PNG, JPG or TIFF at 300 dpi at actual size works. A logo pulled from a website is usually too low in resolution, so the artwork team can redraw it.
Is there a minimum order for custom bum bags?
No, there is no minimum on bum bags, whether the bag is stocked or custom made. Each order has a one-off logo setup, so the price per bag drops noticeably from around 10 units. A small club can order a handful, and your quote shows the quantity breaks so you can choose the number that suits.
Can I mix colours of one bum bag in a single order?
Yes. Colours of the same bag can be mixed, and the whole order counts towards the quantity price. The Byron waist bag, for example, comes in ten colours. Light colours share one logo version and dark colours another, so the proof will show both versions on the colours you pick.
How long does an order of printed bum bags take?
Some stocked orders can be ready the same day, and your quote confirms the timing for your bags. Custom made bags are usually air freighted and arrive one to three weeks after artwork and sample approval. Rush is possible but costs more and narrows the choice, so give us your date early.
Can I check a bum bag sample before ordering?
Yes. You can see a digital mock-up first, or ask for an undecorated sample. On a waist bag, check the zip pull, the belt buckle and how the strap feels at the waist, because those wear out first. Sample cost is confirmed with the quote and credited back if the order goes ahead.
How do I choose the right size of bum bag?
Match the size to what people carry. A 1 litre running belt holds a phone, keys and cards, the 1.5 litre Byron adds a small purse, and the 4 litre AS Colour bag takes a bottle or a light layer. If people carry more than that, a backpack suits better than a bum bag.
