Criteria that a good backpack for high school should meet:

Sturdy and Durable: A durable backpack is a must for everyday school use. It has to be durable to withstand the stresses of everyday school life. Our backpacks are made from FSC-certified kraft paper . A special finish makes the kraft paper extremely durable and tear-resistant. So don't worry, everything you need for your school day is safely stored in your kraft paper backpack! Our backpacks look cool and can still withstand a lot! High-quality materials and solid workmanship ensure that a Paper & Sons backpack will stay with you for several school years. We promise!

Sufficient storage space & organization options: Your backpack should have enough space to accommodate books, notebooks, folders, a laptop and other school supplies. Various compartments help you keep an overview and pack your backpack as efficiently as possible. In addition to padded laptop compartments, all of our models have additional inner compartments so that everything can be stored neatly. So you can easily keep track of your school supplies.

Water-repellent material: Especially in rainy seasons, it is important that your school backpack is water-repellent to keep the contents dry. Our material, kraft paper, is just right: thanks to its special processing and refinement, it is not only robust and hard-wearing, but also water-repellent. Going to school in the rain is no problem, the kraft paper is waterproof. If the backpack gets wet, you can simply let it dry again.

Style and design: The backpack for high school should reflect your personal taste and fit your style. With our backpacks you not only make a statement for the environment, but also a fashion statement. Get a special backpack for everyday school life and leave the classic models behind! We are confident you will love our kraft paper backpacks!
