Backpacks and school bags

Starting school is the moment when a backpack or satchel becomes an essential part of a child's daily life. Unlike lightweight, compact preschool models, school backpacks and satchels must accommodate books, A4 notebooks, a pencil case, a lunch box, a water bottle , and often even PE kit and additional art supplies.

Schoolbags and backpacks – what distinguishes school and kindergarten models?

• Larger capacity – in the case of school backpacks it is usually 18–25 liters , and in the case of school bags the structure is more rigid, which protects books from damage.

• Perfect fit for A4 format – both the backpack and the school bag should have a main compartment in which notebooks and folders fit without bending.

• Contoured, stiffened back – the ergonomic design supports the child’s correct posture, which is crucial when carrying a heavier load every day.

• Wide, adjustable shoulder straps – at least 4–5 cm wide, with soft padding to evenly distribute the weight. Satchels often have an additional chest strap for stability.

• A well-thought-out arrangement of compartments – special compartments for books, a pencil case, a lunch box and a water bottle, thanks to which everything has its place.

• Reflective elements – increase the student’s visibility on the road, which is especially important in the autumn and winter.

Backpack or school bag – what to choose?

Satchels are great for early grades, when protecting books and notebooks from creases is important, and children are also learning how to organize their belongings. Backpacks offer more flexibility and are often lighter, which can be beneficial in the upper elementary grades.

Why is the right school bag or backpack so important?

A well-fitting model relieves the strain on the spine, helps maintain order, and makes daily school packing easier. Choosing the right backpack or school bag is an investment in a student's comfort, health, and organization throughout the school year.
