📌 Pro Tip: 30–40L medium size is the most popular for custom logo duffle bags.

2. Match Size with End Use

🎒 Gym Bags:

• Size: Small to medium (20–35L)

• Why: Enough for clothes, shoes, towel, water bottle

• Best For: Fitness studios, yoga events, activewear brands

✈️ Travel Bags:

• Size: Medium to large (35–55L)

• Why: Room for 2–3 days of travel essentials

• Best For: Airlines, tourism boards, hospitality giveaways

🏆 Sports Teams / Events:

• Size: Medium or large (40–60L)

• Why: Fits uniforms, shoes, gear

• Best For: School teams, tournaments, corporate sports days

🎁 Corporate Gifts:

• Size: Medium (30–45L)

• Why: Looks premium but not oversized

• Best For: Branded swag kits, product launch gifts, trade shows

3. Consider Shipping & Cost Efficiency

• Larger bags = higher unit cost and shipping volume

• More material, more carton space = more shipping fees

• If mailing directly to clients, small/medium bags are better

✉️ Ask your factory for CBM (cubic meter) data per size to calculate freight cost.

4. Think About Branding Area

• Medium duffle bags offer the best balance: big enough for a large logo, but still practical

• Front panels and side pockets offer excellent visibility

• Larger bags can showcase embroidery, screen printing, and even multiple brand elements

5. MOQ & Custom Options by Size
