Which type of waterproof bag should you brand?
The right bag depends on what goes inside it and how wet it will get, so start with the job. A roll-top dry bag handles phones, keys and a towel on a paddle or beach day. A duffel or backpack carries a full change of clothes or a laptop through rain, and a wet bag does the opposite job by keeping damp things away from dry ones.
| Type | Examples in the range | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Roll-top dry bags | Aqua Dry Bag in 5, 10, 15 and 20 litres, Waterproof Dry Bag 2L | Paddling, boating, beach days, giveaways at water events |
| Wet bags and pouches | Brighton Wet Bag, Esprit PVC Pouch, RPET Waterproof Bag | Swimsuits, gym gear, documents, phones and wallets |
| Waterproof duffels | Narvik Waterproof Duffel in 35L and 65L, Nautilus Waterproof Duffle 110 | Travel, surf trips, club and team kit |
| Waterproof backpacks | Trident 2.0 Waterproof 32L Backpack, Bombora 32L V2 Wet/Dry Backpack | Bike commuters, hikers, field staff |
| Laptop carriers | Waterproof Laptop Carrier | Staff gifts, wet-weather commutes |
Waterproof or water-resistant?
A waterproof bag has welded seams and a roll-top or sealed zip, so water stays out even when the bag is dunked. The Narvik duffel is made from TPU with heat-welded seams and a welded waterproof zip, and the Trident backpack uses a roll-top closure you roll three to four times before clipping. Water-resistant bags such as the Brighton Wet Bag use stitched ripstop that sheds splashes, which is fine for damp swimmers and no use for a river crossing. Tell us what the bag has to survive and we'll point you to the right one.
If you're handing out one bag to a crowd, our drawstring bags are a lighter alternative when the contents don't have to stay dry. For full days out, our beach bags give you more room.
How do you print a logo on a waterproof bag?
Waterproof fabrics such as PVC tarpaulin and TPU are coated and smooth, so the logo sits on the surface. For one or two brand colours, screen printing is the usual choice because the ink is solid and the cost stays low across a run, and you can read more on our screen printing page. For a gradient or a multi-colour logo, a DTF transfer reproduces the detail. Our artwork team confirms the method on your proof.
We wouldn't embroider a welded bag. A needle punches holes in the very fabric that keeps water out, so print or transfer is the better route. The product pages offer one, two or three decoration positions, and the proof shows where the logo sits relative to the seams, which on many roll-top bags run down the back or base.
For most event and club orders, we'd pick a 5 or 10 litre dry bag with a one-colour screen print on the front panel. It's big enough for a phone, wallet and towel, the flat panel suits a logo, and the single colour keeps the setup simple. Light bag colours take a dark logo and dark bags take a light one, and you can supply Pantone references for brand colours.
Ordering waterproof bags
There's no minimum, so a surf club can order a dozen dry bags or a council can order a thousand. Each job has a one-off setup for the logo, which is why the price per bag falls as quantities rise, and many products show quantity pricing on the product page with the quote confirming the branded price. You'll see a free proof before anything is made, and nothing goes into production until you approve it. Large duffels are quoted with freight, so ask for the delivered figure.
Who buys promotional waterproof bags?
- Surf life saving, paddling and sailing clubs hand dry bags to members. The bag goes on every trip for years, so the logo travels to every launch ramp and beach.
- Tour and hire operators, such as kayak or snorkelling businesses, give guests a bag to keep. It protects their phone during the tour, and it keeps the operator's name in the car park, on the boat and on social media afterwards.
- Employers add a waterproof backpack or laptop carrier to a kitting pack for field staff or new starters who commute by bike or on foot. It's used every working day, in every kind of weather.
What goes well with waterproof bags?
Many buyers pair a dry bag with our backpacks for a full outdoor kit. If the bag is for travel, our duffle bags and travel bags and luggage cover everyday trips, and our laptop bags suit office staff. Small items such as passes and cards are easier to find in a pouch.
Tell us the contents, the setting and the quantity, and we'll recommend a bag and the print method. Use the instant enquiry form at the top of this page, call 1300 247 766, or visit our Annandale showroom by arrangement to handle the bags first.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to print a logo on a dry bag?
Screen print is the usual choice for a one or two colour logo on a dry bag, because the ink sits on the smooth coated fabric and holds up across a run. For a photo, gradient or many colours, a DTF transfer is the better fit. The artwork team confirms the method on your free proof before anything is made.
Will a printed logo survive water, sun and salt?
A printed logo is designed to live with water, but it sits on the surface, so rubbing against rocks, gear and boat decks wears it faster than fabric dyed all through. Rinse the bag in fresh water after salt use, and let it dry open and out of direct sun. Your proof shows the size and position, which helps keep the logo clear of folds.
How big can the logo be on a waterproof bag?
The logo is sized to the printable panel of the bag you choose, and that varies a lot between a 2 litre dry bag and a 110 litre duffel. On roll-top bags, the rolled section and any welded seam reduce the usable space. We show the exact size and position on the proof, so you can approve it or ask for it to move.
Can you embroider a waterproof bag?
We wouldn't recommend it on welded-seam bags. Embroidery pushes thousands of stitches through the fabric, and each hole gives water a way in, which defeats the purpose of a dry bag. Screen print or transfer gives you a clean logo without breaking the barrier. If your heart is set on stitching, ask the artwork team which styles can take it.
What artwork file do you need for a waterproof bag?
A vector file such as AI, EPS, SVG or a vector PDF is best, with fonts converted to outlines, because it prints crisply at any size on a bag panel. A full-colour transfer can use a PNG or JPG at 300 dpi at actual print size. A small logo taken from a website usually needs redrawing, and the artwork team can help with that.
What is the minimum order for printed waterproof bags?
There's no minimum order on our waterproof bags, and each order carries a one-off setup for the logo, so the price per bag drops noticeably from around 10 units. Other suppliers commonly set minimums of 50 to 100 for printed dry bags, so a small club run is easier here. Your quote shows the quantity breaks and the total.
Are your waterproof bags waterproof or only water-resistant?
It depends on the bag, and the product page tells you which. The Narvik duffel is made of TPU with heat-welded seams and a welded waterproof zip, and the Trident backpack has a roll-top and welded seams. The Brighton Wet Bag is water-resistant ripstop, suited to damp swimmers rather than dunking. Tell us how wet the bag will get and we'll match it.
What size dry bag should I order?
For a phone, keys and wallet, a 2 litre or 5 litre bag is enough. A 10 litre bag takes a towel and a light layer, while 15 and 20 litre bags suit a day trip or a change of clothes. Duffels from 35 litres up are for travel. Check the dimensions on each product page, because bags of the same volume can differ in shape.
Can I see a waterproof bag before I order?
Yes, we can supply an undecorated physical sample so you can check the bag itself. Look at the welded seams for even, flat joins, roll the top and clip it to test the seal, and feel the buckle and strap. Sample cost is confirmed with your quote and credited back if the order goes ahead. You can also handle samples at our Annandale showroom by arrangement.
Can I mix colours in one order of dry bags?
Yes, colours of the same bag can be mixed in one order and the whole quantity counts toward volume pricing. The Aqua Dry Bag, for example, comes in black, blue, green, red, orange and yellow. Light bags share one dark logo version and dark bags a light one, so brand colours stay readable across the set.
How long do branded waterproof bags take?
Some stocked, decorated orders can be ready the same day, and your quote confirms the timing for your quantity and method. Rush production is available on most products, costs more, and narrows the choice of bags. A longer lead time gives a better unit price, so give us the event date early and we'll work back from it.
