TSA Friendly Bags are Good News for Everyone

Someone that doesn't travel won't understand what I mean in the title.  Those that travel will immediately understand after getting caught behind the guy unloading his giant laptop that is strapped seven ways to Sunday in a mega backpack.  The difference in price is now pretty minimal so there is no real reason to go with the old school bags. 

A year ago it was almost unheard of that promotional products suppliers were releasing real TSA friendly bags.  At the time nobody really knew what that meant and there was a lot of confusion.  As standards got set Leeds among others released checkpoint friendly backpacks that were designed to expedite the owner through security.  Now they are stepping it up a notch with products that bring even more utility like the elleven wheeled TSA Compu-Backpack which has all the advantages of a regular backpack but also has wheels.  So now instead of having to carry a wheeled duffel and then a backpack that holds your laptop you can put everything together in one.  For a day trip on an airplane this is perfect as there is just enough room for a change of basic clothes while also leaving plenty of room for padding.  The elleven series from Leeds has been a tremendous hit already as it mimics a lot of the finer qualities found in much more expensive bags right down to the texture of the material.  Gradually as travel habits have changed so have the products being offered but overall there has been little change in the promotional backpack area.  Gemline and Leeds continue to design, test and produce their own unique designs while others buy brand names and relabel.

Over the past twelve months we have covered a lot of topics on this page.  As we head into the new year we expect that we will be firing out nearly daily updates to reveal new products, new brands and ideas to keep you informed.  In the meantime take a look through the hundreds of previous articles to see if there is anything you would like us to write about in more detail.
