Convention Business Messenger Bag*
Travel in style with our Convention Business Messenger Bag. This versatile bag is made of durable polyester and features a large main compartment complete with pen sleeves, a card holder and a key hook, so the small things that usually end up loose at the bottom each have a place of their own. The exterior has a roomy zippered compartment that can store items you need to keep readily available, such as a cell phone or passport. The wide adjustable shoulder straps are reinforced for extra durability and can be removed.
Have a name or message embroidered on the front of this useful bag to make it truly personal. The lettering is stitched into the polyester in-house by HansonEllis, in business since 1999, so it holds up to airport belts, lecture halls and daily commutes rather than cracking or peeling the way a printed name would. You have two embroidery lines of up to twelve characters each, which is enough for a name and a year, or initials and a title.
The messenger bag features a zippered center pocket so that you can use it as a travel bag or briefcase. Business professionals will love the lightweight feel of this bag, and will be truly impressed at how much it can hold. Laptops, files, tablets and books fit neatly and securely inside this convention bag. Take it with you on your next business trip and you will be ready to get to work the minute you arrive. This bag makes a wonderful gift for anyone who has to travel for business, and leisurely travelers will enjoy it too.
The messenger bag is a must have for high school and college students too. Just throw the strap over your shoulder and you are ready to roll. The bag can hold everything a student needs to get them through their academic day in style. Even the youngest scholars will love using this personalized Convention Business Messenger Bag for school or for fun.

Which one should I choose
Shoppers usually weigh this bag against the two obvious alternatives for carrying a laptop and papers.
| Convention Business Messenger Bag | Choose it when one bag has to do everything: 17" wide, polyester, organized inside with pen sleeves, card holder and key hook, and embroidered with a name on the front. |
|---|---|
| A hard briefcase | Choose it for formal meetings only; it will not swing over a shoulder for a campus day or a long airport walk, and it carries no embroidered name. |
| A plain unbranded messenger bag | Choose it if you do not need it personalized; nothing tells one bag from another at a conference table. |
For a best man, a graduate or a conference full of attendees, the embroidered Convention Business Messenger Bag covers the most ground.
