Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about ordering this product

The minimum order for the EcoLite Drawstring Backpack is 20 units. At the 50-unit tier, the price is €12.19 per unit with customization included. The 20-unit price will be slightly higher — confirm the exact rate at order stage. Available in 6 colors. EU shipping is quoted separately. At €12.19@50, the EcoLite is the lowest-priced backpack in the SoMerch range. The 70% recycled cotton / 30% recycled PET blend and AWARE™ traceability make it a credible sustainable option at entry-level pricing. The 20-unit MOQ makes it accessible for smaller programs or pilot kit builds before committing to a larger run.

Yes — the drawstring format is the most compact backpack in the SoMerch range, making it an efficient co-pack item in onboarding kits or event packs. Production takes 8 business days. SoMerch ships individually to any EU address in 2-6 business days. No size management needed. AWARE™ traceability records are available per production batch. At 9.5 L, the EcoLite is a light-duty bag suited to gym, event, and casual daily use — not a laptop bag or travel pack. For programs where the backpack needs to hold a laptop, notebook, and other kit items together, a structured backpack from the range is a better choice. The EcoLite is best as a lightweight secondary item or an event-specific giveaway.

The EcoLite is made from 70% recycled cotton and 30% recycled PET at 145 GSM. AWARE™ tracer technology is embedded in the fabric, providing blockchain-verified proof that both the recycled cotton and recycled PET fractions are genuine — not self-reported. 2% of proceeds from each AWARE™ product are donated to Water.org. The 70% recycled cotton fraction is sourced from post-consumer textile waste. The 30% recycled PET fraction is sourced from recycled plastic bottles. AWARE™ makes both claims independently auditable per production batch, using a physical tracer in the fabric and a QR code per product. For programs where recycled content documentation is needed for ESG reporting, the AWARE™ certification provides the required audit trail.

The EcoLite Drawstring Backpack carries AWARE™ tracer technology certification, verifying the recycled cotton and recycled PET content through blockchain traceability. The product notes that it 'saves between 562 and 641 litres of water, depending on colour, compared to conventional materials' — a measurable environmental benefit claim. AWARE™ is an independent certification providing product-level traceability, distinct from company-level certifications like B Corp. The water-saving claim is based on comparative lifecycle analysis between recycled and virgin material production. For procurement teams documenting recycled content for ESG purposes, the AWARE™ certificate and the water-saving data are both available.

The EcoLite is customized by full-color digital transfer print, with a print area of up to 20×20 cm — the largest print area of any backpack in the SoMerch range. The flat, open front panel of the drawstring bag creates an ideal canvas for large, impactful logos, graphics, or event artwork. 20×20 cm is the same large print area as SoMerch T-shirts and sweatshirts — significantly bigger than the 10×15 cm or 9×9 cm print areas on structured backpacks. For programs where brand visibility is a priority, the EcoLite's large print canvas is a key differentiator despite its lower price point. Full-color digital transfer supports multi-color logos and detailed artwork.

The EcoLite is the right backpack for high-volume programs where budget and large print visibility both matter — event giveaways, gym and wellness programs, cohort onboarding kits where the bag is a secondary item, or summer campaigns. At €12.19@50 with a 20-unit MOQ and AWARE™-certified recycled materials, it delivers both sustainability and economics. Not suited to programs requiring a structured bag with laptop protection or dedicated compartments. For those, step up to the PackLite (20L, AWARE™, €22.14@20), Cabin Flight Bag (GRS-certified, €25.64@20), or EcoRidge (RCS-certified, 13L, laptop to 17"). The EcoLite is the volume option — best when quantity and print area matter most.
