Description
Built for daily use
The Port Authority Vector Backpack is made from 600 denier heather polyester with 300 denier polyester canvas accents, giving it a modern, heathered look that holds up to daily commutes. The roomy main compartment and large office compartment keep essentials organized, while the side-entry, padded laptop compartment fits most 15-inch laptops for secure transport.
Comfort and convenience
Air mesh padded shoulder straps provide comfort during extended wear, and the luggage trolley strap on the back lets the pack slide over a suitcase handle for easy travel. The large front side zippered pocket offers a smooth surface for decoration, making it a practical choice for employee kits and trade shows.

Decoration & Imprint
2 methods
Your logo is placed on the large front side zippered pocket, a smooth surface ideal for decoration. Embroidery stitches your design directly into the fabric for a raised, textured mark, while heat transfer applies a full-color, photographic film. Choose embroidery for bold logos and lettering, or heat transfer for gradients and fine detail.
Embroideryone-time setup $35.00 · Full color
Embroidery stitches your design directly into the fabric, building artwork from dense, interlocking threads rather than laying ink on the surface. Each color is its own thread in a solid shade. The result is a raised, tactile mark with the soft sheen of thread and a slightly dimensional edge. Each shape reads as a clean, saturated block, and the sewn-in design resists fading, peeling, and wear through repeated washing.
Heat Transfer — Four Color / 4CPFull-color imprint · 1 location included · one-time setup $30.00
Four-color-process heat transfer prints your design in CMYK onto a release film, then bonds it to the garment under heat and pressure. It reproduces photographs, gradients, and many-color artwork with continuous-tone fidelity that solid spot inks cannot match. The finished mark reads as a smooth, low-profile layer at the surface; color is built from blended process inks, landing close to brand references rather than as exact spot solids.

From our decoration and product guides
- What does an embroidered logo look like?
- Embroidery stitches the design directly into the fabric, building the artwork from dense, interlocking threads rather than laying ink on the surface. Each color is its own thread in a solid shade. The result is a raised, tactile mark with the soft sheen of thread and a slightly dimensional edge, and the sewn-in design resists fading, peeling and wear through repeated washing. More about Embroidery →
- What artwork is a poor fit for embroidery?
- Hairline strokes, very small type and continuous-tone gradients. Each stitch occupies real space in the fabric, so fine lines and small text round off and shading cannot be reproduced. Embroidery is at its best with logos and lettering built from bold, solid shapes, where each color stitches as its own thread shade. For photographic or gradient artwork choose a full-color method; for crisp hairline detail choose screen print. More about Embroidery →
- How are embroidery thread colors matched to my brand colors?
- Each color in the design is stitched in a solid thread shade chosen to match your artwork. Where a product offers it, Pantone (PMS) color matching is an option for an additional charge per color, selecting the thread closest to your Pantone reference; otherwise the embroiderer picks the nearest standard thread color.
