Roll-Top Dry Bag

A dry bag with a roll-top closure. The roll top is what keeps the contents dry: the opening is folded over on itself three times and clipped, which traps air inside so the bag seals and floats instead of only resisting splashes the way a zippered bag does. For anything going on a boat or a paddleboard, that difference matters.

Marinas, kayak outfitters and waterfront resorts

Marinas, kayak and paddleboard outfitters, dive shops and waterfront resorts are the natural buyers. They sell it in the shop or include it with a rental or a charter. Boat clubs and beach-town businesses also use it as a giveaway that gets taken out on the water every weekend.

Artwork on a roll-top bag

Screen print and full-color print are both offered. Keep the logo below the area that rolls down, so it stays readable when the bag is closed. Screen print handles a bold one-color mark, which the tier price includes in one position; full-color print suits multicolor art, with added colors priced on the quote. A free proof shows the placement.

Fifty versus one hundred

• 50 bags: $407.50 plus the $49 setup, $456.50, about $9.13 each
• 100 bags: $709.00, setup waived, $7.09 each
• 250 bags: $1,542.50, $6.17 each
• 500 bags: $2,680.00, $5.36 each
• 1,000 bags: $5,170.00, $5.17 each

The per-bag price falls from $8.15 to $5.17 across the tiers. The step that matters most is 50 to 100: the setup disappears and the effective cost drops by about two dollars a bag. After 500 the curve flattens, so the 1,000 tier saves little.

One business day to decorate

Production takes about 1 business day after you approve the proof, which is unusually fast for a bag. That makes it a realistic choice when a summer season or a regatta is close. Add transit time on top.

Why a roll top instead of a zipper?

Rolling the top three times and clipping it seals the bag, so it keeps water out and floats. A zipper only resists splashes.

Does the design stay on file?

Yes, for two years, so a reorder of the same artwork carries no setup.
