Teacher's backpack

Why is a teacher backpack better than a teacher's bag?

Quite simply: a teacher backpack offers much more space and is therefore more practical for the everyday life of a teacher. A backpack can hold not only books, notebooks, and pens but also a laptop or tablet as well as other items, such as a water bottle or snacks. Furthermore, a backpack relieves the shoulders and back compared to a heavy briefcase. 

Especially on longer walks between school and home, this can make a big difference. However, the Kapten & Son teacher backpack excels not only in functionality – it also looks really good! With its simple and elegant design, it perfectly complements the professional appearance of any teacher. 

What's in a teacher backpack?

In addition to the usual school supplies like books, notebooks, and pens, a laptop or tablet and a water bottle should not be missing. Smaller items such as snacks or tissues can also be stored in the backpack. Here’s what the contents of a well-organized and modern teacher backpack might look like: 

• Laptop or tablet 

• USB sticks (handy if students have saved their presentation only locally) 

• Adapter for USB, HDMI, or VGA connections 

• Pointer 

• Chargers 

• Chalk or whiteboard markers 

• Red pens 

• Notepad 

• Grading chart 

• Magnets 

• Transparencies and markers for an overhead projector 

• Cough sweets (speaking can become a real strain over time) 

• Binders 

With all these essentials, your backpack can quickly become cluttered and full. However, thanks to its many compartments and side pockets, the Kapten & Son teacher backpack will support you excellently in your school life. 

With a well-organized interior of the backpack, you will always keep track of all important supplies. Another plus: In autumn, your hoodie can easily be stored in the spacious compartment – so it is always within reach when it gets cold outside during break supervision! 

How big should a teacher backpack be?

A capacity of at least 20 litres is recommended. However, you should ensure that the backpack does not become too heavy and sits comfortably on your back. Generally, pack your backpack so that heavy items are in the middle and close to your back. This way, you avoid unnecessary strain. We recommend reading our guide on how to pack a backpack properly. 

Practical backpack collections like Bali or Lund Pro can actually be opened not only from the top but also from the front. This way, you can quickly access the items you need without having to rummage around. The Kapten & Son teacher backpack offers a capacity of up to 28 litres, providing ample space for everything important in everyday school life – without being cumbersome or uncomfortable.
