Picture this: You’re gearing up for your next big marketing campaign, and you’re ready to invest in black laptop backpacks customized with your logo. However, you find yourself at the crossroads of style and savings, trying to decide which path to take.
Do you splurge on the premium, top-of-the-line model that exudes prestige? Or do you opt for the steal that promises to stretch your marketing budget further?
Welcome to our new series “Splurge vs. Steal,” where we compare and contrast two similar promotional products at different price points. While budget is always a consideration, it shouldn’t be the sole deciding factor. Rather, it’s also imperative to examine and evaluate the campaign’s goals, target audience, expected ROI and how the merch strategically fits into your overall branding initiatives. (For more on strategy, check out this article.)
In this epic battle between luxury and economy, we examine two black promotional backpacks, each offering its own unique allure. Let’s dive in!
Samsonite has a reputation for creating luggage and bags using high-quality materials and excellent craftsmanship that withstand the rigors of travel, and the Samsonite Xenon 3.0 Large Laptop Backpack lives up to the hype.
The Xenon combines a timeless, classic design with a well-considered personal electronics organization. The front pocket includes a multi-functional organizer and a scratch-resistant lined pocket that fits up to a 10” tablet, and the rear zippered pocket accommodates a 15.6" laptop.
The zippered main compartment includes multiple pockets for organization, and there’s a quick-stash pocket for sunglasses and personal electronics. The dual side pockets carry water bottles (logoed, of course), making it easy to stay hydrated with your fave sips.
Carrying the Xenon is a breeze. In addition to the top grab handle with a neoprene-padded grip, it features padded and adjustable shoulder straps plus a padded back panel with air mesh padding and lumbar support
Sized 12" x 17.5" x 8" and constructed of ballistic polyester, the Xenon is as roomy as it is tough. And its checkpoint-friendly design makes it easy to fly through airport security. Pricing (subject to change) ranges from $95 per piece (100 quantity) to $143 per piece (6 quantity)
The Xenon is perfect for discerning audiences that expect a more elevated aesthetic and quality construction, perhaps as a commemorative gift for a senior leadership summit or a business gift for VIP customers. Or, use it in targeted campaigns where the allocated budget allows for more upscale merch, such as a sales incentive program for top producers.

What if you have a smaller overall budget or a larger number of recipients? With the tech-savvy Maverick Laptop Backpack, you can still have branded merch with a smart look and feel and an affordable price point.
Like the Samsonite Xenon, the Maverick has pocket power with an interior zippered main compartment with a padded pocket designed to fit up to a 15” laptop. The exterior features a multi-function organizer with a slash pocket sized to fit a tablet with case plus a mesh water bottle pocket. It also has a top grab handle and adjustable, padded shoulder straps for easy transport.
The Maverick is nicely sized at 12.25" x 17.25" x 6", and the exterior features a sturdy diamond weave accent. Pricing (subject to change) ranges from $20 per piece (300 quantity) to $28 per piece (25 quantity).
Ideal for anything from campus bookstores to company giveaways, the Maverick is a versatile laptop backpack that fits all the functional needs your recipients might have while keeping marketing campaigns on budget.
