What's in the Duffle & Sports Bags Range
With more than 100 products, this range spans everything from a gym bag to a week's luggage. GFL Bags leads on volume, alongside AS Colour's recycled pair — the 350gsm Escape Travel Bag with a dedicated external shoe compartment and YKK zips, and the heavyweight 420gsm 31-litre Gym Duffel, both in 100% recycled polyester. Helly Hansen's Duffle Bag 2 comes in 50 and 70 litres in waterproof packable fabric from 20 units, and High Sierra's Camille Duffel 31L and Travel Duffel both start at just 10. Premium options include the Bellroy Classic Duffel 45L, whose ends unsnap for ultra-wide packing access, and the American Tourister Urban Groove Duffel with a padded compartment for 17-inch laptops. For volume and events, the Magnum Sports Bag offers a substantial 76 litres in 600D textured polyester, while the Wander & Roam Packable Travel Duffel in 100% recycled rPET ripstop folds away into its own internal pocket. Further options come from Titleist, Callaway, Cutter & Buck, Dubarry, Elleven, Aussie Pacific, Darani and smpli.
Choosing a Duffle Bag
Size first. A 20 to 30 litre duffel is a gym bag — kit, shoes, a towel and a bottle. Around 45 litres covers a weekend away and generally still meets carry-on limits. Above 50 litres you're into checked luggage and team-kit territory, up to 76 litres for tour groups and conference distribution. Then the details that matter in practice: a separate external shoe compartment keeps muddy boots away from clean clothes, which is the single most requested feature on a sports duffel; a padded laptop section turns a gym bag into a work bag; and packable construction that folds into its own pocket is invaluable for staff who travel and need a spare bag that takes no suitcase space. Fabric weight is worth checking too — 350gsm is solid everyday, 420gsm is heavy-duty, and 600D polyester is the standard for bags that will be thrown in a car boot week after week.
Sustainability and Branding
Sixteen products carry a Recycled flag and one is certified Carbon Neutral, with materials including 100% recycled polyester, 100% recycled PET polyester, 80% recycled nylon and recycled rPET ripstop — and, importantly, these sit on the premium styles rather than being confined to an entry-level eco line. Both AS Colour duffels are 100% recycled polyester, and the Wander & Roam packable is fully rPET. On branding, embroidery gives a premium raised finish that suits canvas and heavier polyester, while screen printing and heat transfer handle technical fabrics and larger full-colour artwork. Duffels have generous flat side panels and, since black dominates the colour run at over 90 products, a single branding setup usually carries across a mixed order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can duffle bags be branded with my logo? Yes — every product in this category can be custom branded. Embroidery gives a premium raised finish on canvas and heavier polyester, while screen printing and heat transfer suit technical fabrics and larger full-colour artwork. The flat side panels give a generous branding area. Our team will recommend the best method and placement for your artwork.
- What size duffle bag do I need? A 20 to 30 litre duffel works as a gym bag, around 45 litres suits a weekend away and usually still meets carry-on limits, and anything above 50 litres moves into checked luggage and team-kit territory. The largest style in this range is 76 litres, which suits tour groups, conferences and sports teams carrying shared gear.
- Which duffle bags have a shoe compartment? The AS Colour Escape Travel Bag has a dedicated external zipped shoe compartment, which is the most requested feature on a sports duffel — it keeps muddy boots and worn training shoes separate from clean clothes. If the bags are for a sports club or gym program, it's worth specifying.
- What is a packable duffle bag? A packable duffel folds down into its own internal pocket, compressing to roughly the size of a small pouch. The Wander & Roam Packable Travel Duffel and the Helly Hansen Duffle Bag 2 both work this way. They're ideal for staff who travel — a spare bag for the return trip that takes up almost no space in a suitcase on the way out.
- Can a duffle bag carry a laptop? Some can. The American Tourister Urban Groove Duffel includes a padded compartment sized for laptops up to 17 inches, which makes it a genuine one-bag option for staff going straight from the office to the gym or the airport. Most sports duffels don't include laptop protection, so check the individual product page.
- Do you have recycled duffle bags? Yes — sixteen products carry a Recycled flag and one is certified Carbon Neutral. Both AS Colour duffels are 100% recycled polyester, the Wander & Roam packable uses 100% recycled rPET ripstop, and there are 80% recycled nylon and recycled PET options across the range. Use the eco filters on this page to narrow the selection.
- What is the minimum order quantity for duffle bags? Minimums vary widely. Some premium bags start at just 1 unit, High Sierra and American Tourister styles from 10, Helly Hansen from 20, and most volume styles at 25. The exact minimum order quantity is confirmed on each individual product page.
- Can I see an artwork proof before production? Yes — twice over. You can Design & Create your own mockup instantly on any product page to see your logo on the product before you even request a quote. Then, once your order is confirmed, Supply Crew provides a detailed artwork proof for your approval — placement, size and finish — before production begins.
- How long do custom duffle bag orders take? Custom orders typically take 2–4 weeks for production and delivery, depending on the styles selected, the branding method and order volume. Our team will confirm an exact turnaround estimate once your order and artwork are finalised — worth planning ahead for season launches, conferences and team kit rollouts.
