Printed waist bags: models, material and print

Updated 10 October 2026 by Rutger Blommers

Short answer: A waist bag is worn around the hips or across the chest. It keeps phone, keys and wallet within reach and shows your logo clearly on the front. The main choices are the model, the material and the printing method.

Waist bags are also called bum bags or fanny packs. They are popular at festivals, sports events and in tourism because both hands stay free.
