Quadra Holdall embroidery — premium bags for tournament sport, tech conferences and fashion labels

Quadra profile — the premium bag brand

Quadra is the premium-bag brand of the Beechfield Group, a British promo-bag specialist headquartered in Manchester. The brand positioning differs clearly from the sister brand BagBase: while BagBase serves the mass market for team kits and school AGs, Quadra covers the premium segment — material-dense bag models for tournament sport, premium branding and tech-conference goody bags.

The range comprises around 40 models, three core lines dominating 80 % of all premium orders: the QS sport line (tournament holdalls and match bags), the QD executive line (premium laptop backpacks and business cases) and the QS studio line (fashion-label and sustainable cross-body bags). Materials go beyond BagBase's polyester standard world: Cordura fabric, ballistic nylon, rPET from recycled PET polyester (eight PET bottles per cross-body bag).

QS270 Pro Team Holdall — the tournament sport bag

The QS270 Pro Team Holdall is the most-ordered tournament sport bag with us. 60 × 32 × 32 cm format, 45 litres volume, ballistic polyester 600-denier with Cordura reinforcement at base and carry handles. Load capacity up to 25 kilograms (complete tennis or golf tournament equipment pack). With main opening over a full zip, two side zip exterior pockets, ventilated shoe compartment (mesh base, separated from the main compartment by waterproof film) and two removable carry straps.

Typical use case: tennis, golf and squash clubs with tournament-participant gifts (50–200 holdalls per tournament season), premium triathlon-club packs, premium team sport crews (lacrosse, ultimate frisbee, cricket), fashion-label studio deliveries as premium packaging variant. Six colours in solid finish (black, navy, anthracite, bottle green, burgundy, dark brown).

Embroidery on the QS270

Standard position for the logo: left chest height of the main opening side, max 12 × 12 cm. Because of the 600-denier fabric density, embroidery up to 18,000 stitches works without issues — even complex club crests or tournament logos with multi-colour gradients. Pantone matching via Madeira Classic Rayon thread. Setup per logo €25 one-off (digitisation). Premium variant: two-position embroidery with logo on the main side plus club crest on the opposite side (+€4.90 per piece).

QD269 Executive Backpack — the premium laptop backpack

The QD269 Executive Backpack is the standard pick for tech-conference speaker packs, executive gifts and premium tech crew wear. 30 × 45 × 14 cm, 20 litres volume, ballistic nylon 1,000-denier (higher density than the QS270), with a dedicated padded 15.6" laptop inner pocket, tablet inner pocket, RFID-blocking chest exterior pocket and ergonomic shoulder straps with back ventilation. Load capacity up to 15 kilograms.

Typical use case: tech-conference speaker packs (Web Summit, OMR, SaaStr Europe — 30–100 backpacks per event as a speaker gift), premium tech crew welcome kit for senior engineers, executive gift pack for C-level employees, premium branding pack for SaaS companies from Series B onward. Eight colours in subtle premium finishes (black, anthracite, navy, charcoal grey, heather grey, bottle green, burgundy, premium beige).

Embroidery on the QD269

Standard position: central on the front flap, max 8 × 8 cm. For premium branding we recommend subtle single-colour embroidery in the Pantone brand colour — at tech-conference packs subtle-precise is better than big-colourful branding. Up to 12,000 stitches on ballistic nylon stable. Alternative: leather-patch embroidery (real leather, embroidered, then sewn onto the backpack) as a premium-premium variant (+€8 per piece).

QS309 Studio Cross Body — the sustainable rPET cross-body

The QS309 Studio Cross Body is the sustainable fashion-label and conference variant. 27 × 22 × 9 cm, six litres volume, made from 100 % rPET — recycled PET polyester from eight PET bottles per bag (certified to the Global Recycled Standard, GRS). With main opening over a zip, one side exterior pocket, adjustable carry strap with quick-release. Load capacity up to five kilograms.

Typical use case: eco tech-conference with sustainability ambition (300–800 cross-bodies per conference as a goody-bag alternative to plastic bags), fashion-label studio with sustainable branding promise (small 50-piece line as limited-edition variant), CSR-compliant promo pack for B-Corps and GreenTech companies. Six colours in solid finish (black, anthracite, navy, bottle green, beige, stone grey).

Embroidery on the QS309

Standard position: front central, max 7 × 7 cm. Because of the sustainable rPET fibre, fibre pretreatment for embroidery is comparable to conventional polyester — no technical limitations. GRS certificate number documented per batch, available as PDF on request.

Use cases for Quadra premium bags

Tournament sport — tennis, golf, squash, triathlon

Tournament clubs with premium-branding ambition use the QS270 Pro Team Holdall as a tournament-participant gift or team equipment bag. Typical order: 50–200 holdalls per tournament season, with embroidered club crest plus optionally a tournament logo on the opposite side. Premium tennis clubs in Hamburg, Munich and Düsseldorf order the model as a member welcome kit for new premium members. Detail documentation in the club service hub.

Tech conference — speakers and crew

Tech-conference organisers use the QD269 Executive Backpack as a premium speaker gift — typically 30–100 backpacks per conference (Web Summit, OMR Hamburg, SaaStr Europe Cologne). Instead of a classic goody-bag package, the backpack is the premium welcome pack, into which the other speaker materials (programme, notebook, conference pass) are inserted. Detail application in cloud-and-SaaS crew wear and in the event crew hub.

Tech crew welcome kit

SaaS and tech companies from Series B onward order the QD269 Executive Backpack as an onboarding pack for senior engineers and C-level employees. Embroidery two-colour in the brand Pantone, plus personalised first name on the RFID pocket (leather-patch embroidery +€8 per piece). Quantities 30–80 pieces per quarter as a quarterly hires bundle for senior recruiting.

Fashion label and premium branding

Fashion-label studios with sustainable branding promise order the QS309 Studio Cross Body as a limited-edition line — typically 50–200 pieces, with subtle single-colour embroidery or leather-patch branding. Premium fashion labels in Berlin and Düsseldorf use the model as studio-delivery premium packaging for drop lines.

Frequently asked questions on Quadra Holdall embroidery

Which Quadra model is right for our tennis tournament season?

The QS270 Pro Team Holdall is the standard pick. 45-litre volume fits complete tennis tournament equipment (two rackets, change of clothes, shoes, water bottle, towel). Embroidery with club crest on the main side, optionally tournament logo on the opposite side. At 50 participants in a tournament season: €44.90 per piece including embroidery. Volume tier combinable with further season orders across the year.

How high is the actual load capacity on the QS270?

Load capacity up to 25 kilograms standard load (stated in marketing material). Practical test in our facility: 32 kilograms was tested over several thousand carry movements without seam rip or zip break. For very high sport-equipment weight (cricket set, complete ice hockey kit), we recommend using the removable carry straps over the shoulder position rather than the carry handles.

What material differences exist between QS270 and QD269?

QS270 is ballistic polyester 600-denier with Cordura reinforcement — ideal for sport use with frequent ground contact and high abrasion exposure. QD269 is ballistic nylon 1,000-denier — higher material density, smoother and less prone to dirt adhesion, ideal for executive and tech-conference use. Both have comparable tear strength; the difference sits in surface optics and premium feel.

Is the QS309 really made of recycled material?

Yes, documented. 100 % rPET polyester from recycled PET — on average eight PET bottles per bag (depending on bag batch). Certified to the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) with a certificate number per production batch. On request we deliver a material-pass PDF with GRS certificate and recycle-quota evidence. Important for ESG reports and CSR audits.

Can we have leather-patch embroidery on an rPET bag?

Yes, but under reservation of CSR consistency. Real leather on an rPET bag is a communicative inconsistency because rPET sends a vegan/sustainability signal that leather contaminates. If you want leather-patch optics on the QS309, we recommend vegan leather alternatives (e.g. apple leather, cork leather) — premium comparable to real leather. We check materials on request.

How long does delivery take for 50 QD269 Executive Backpacks?

Standard lead time five to eight working days including finishing and DHL EU shipping. Setup day one, embroidery day two to four (50 backpacks ≈ two embroidery-machine days), shipping day five to seven. For express needs ahead of a tech conference or board onboarding we can offer 48-hour finishing on request (surcharge €12 per piece on QD269).

Can different premium bag models be combined in one volume tier?

Yes. The volume tier applies to the total quantity regardless of model mix. An order with 25× QS270 plus 25× QD269 plus 50× QS309 counts as the 100-piece band. That is the typical premium conference order for organisers ordering different packs (speaker pack, VIP pack, standard pack) in parallel.

Is Quadra worth it, or does a BagBase model suffice?

Depends on the standing ambition. BagBase is mass market — perfect for team kits, school AGs, bachelor crews. Quadra is premium — for tournament sport, tech conference, fashion-label studio. If the brief contains "premium branding presence", Quadra is the structurally right pick. If the brief contains "volume promo, cost-driven", BagBase is right. Detail comparison in the BagBase sport-bag page.

Are there Quadra models with GOTS organic cotton?

Quadra focuses on polyester, ballistic nylon and rPET — no organic cotton line in the range. If organic cotton bags are wanted, we recommend Westford Mill as the sister brand with the GOTS EarthAware line. For sustainable premium bags, Quadra QS309 (rPET-GRS) is the pick; for sustainable organic-cotton bags, Westford Mill is right.
