Clear Backpacks And Bags For Safety and Security.

Safety and Security
The security concerns facing our nation today are not always easy to live with and - for Safety First - makes it easier for safety and convenience to coexist with a premium line of clear bags, backpacks, and wheelchair bags.

The line of clear backpacks and bags was designed to assist with the security issues facing our schools, sports arenas, airports and workplaces and will continue to expand to fit every need. Our bags and backpacks are ergonomically designed, meaning they are “healthy for the body”; couple that with their high quality, durable designs, and it translates into bags that are clearly safer, clearly stronger and clearly more comfortable than any other clear bags on the market.

The STANDARD BACKPACK has a waist belt like a hiking backpack - evenly distributing the weight of the materials inside. Our MINI BACKPACK fits smaller bodies and spaces and has a water-bottle holder for maximum convenience. The MESSENGER BAG and MINI MESSENGER BAG is for people on-the-go who need quick access to their belongings. The WHEELCHAIR BAG comes in two styles and is primarily designed to securely fit most wheelchairs so no one is excluded from using the line of bags, but it also fits umbrella strollers and the seat of your car.

Making a difference is the main goal at , and with our Give-Back program we assist schools and not-for-profit organizations by using the line as a means to raise funds for programs and projects they wish to implement or can no longer afford to support. Participating schools and not-for-profit groups retain 100% of the retail profit raised through partnering with our company in our goal to be part of the proactive effort to assist with security measure being implemented in our schools.

In partnership with The Roy White Foundation, the newest bag added to the line is our Deluxe Baseball Bag.

Q – WHY ARE ALL S1 BAGS CLEAR?

A – In response to the voilence in our schools over 35 states now have schools that require students carry clear bags or no bags into the buildings. S1 began with the mission to keep our educational environment safe by offering the finest line of clear bags and backpacks on the market. Safety has now become one of our nation's main concerns in airports, sports arena's,
corporate offices and other places where security has to monitor large groups of people. The S1 line continues to grow and develop new clear bags to address all of these needs.

Q - HOW DURABLE ARE THE S1 BAGS?

A - The S1 bags are constructed of a 20 gauge, .05mm PVC vinyl. The handles and straps are sewn into the fabric-lined seams for added strength and durability.

Q – WHAT DOES ERGONOMICALLY DESIGNED MEAN?

A – Ergonomically designed means they are healthy for the body. In designing our product, I talked with different Chiropractors and they recommend that backpacks either have lumbar support or a waist belt to evenly distribute the weight of the materials inside. With our extra padded curved straps and waist belt, the bags fit more securely and are more comfortable to use.

Q – WILL THE S1 BAGS STAND UP AGAINST THE WEATHER?

A - The S1 bags are temperature resistant to 30 degrees below and 150 degrees above zero and are UV treated against fading in the sunlight. The vinyl materials also make them water resistant.

Q – CAN S1 BAGS BE PERSONALIZED FOR DIFFERENT GROUPS?

A – Yes, S1 bags can be imprinted with a one-color logo, mascot, or other design using our bags currently in stock. The process is the same method as silk-screening a shirt. More than a one-color imprint requires a special order – and then we can even tint the material so it remains clear with a touch of color, change the straps to match the custom design and can imprint the bag in different locations in full color.

Q – DO YOU FIND THAT VENUES OTHER THAN SCHOOLS ARE INTERESTED IN THE BAGS?

A – Yes, more and more workplaces are requiring employees to carry clear bags in order to cut down on time spent at security checkpoints. Correctional facility officers and workers, postal employees and casino personnel and retail sales people are required to carry clear bags to work and as security issues escalate, more and more workplaces will follow suit. Airports are likely to follow, not only for personnel but eventually passengers as well.

Q – WHAT ABOUT THE SECURITY RESTRICTIONS AT STADIUMS AND ARENAS?

A – Security at ballparks and stadiums permit the use of clear backpacks at the games. Our mini backpack is the perfect size and will carry all your personal belongings safely into the arena.

Q – WHAT ABOUT PRIVACY ISSUES?

A- What is more invasive – having your bag searched and emptied or carrying a bag that allows security a clear view of the contents and if anything suspicious-looking is inside, they can ask you to remove it. In all honesty, in a public place should you actually have anything inside your bag that you need to hide? As a woman I have personal items that I would carry in a separate small bag no matter what type of bag I am carrying, clear or not.

Q – WHY DO YOU CARRY WHEELCHAIR BAGS?

A – S1 began with the mission to fill the need as more and more schools began to require students carry clear bags or no bags and since education in the US has taken the stance of “No child left behind” S1 wanted to provide students with mobility issues the same quality product as everyone else. We will continue to expand our line to address people with special needs.

Q – DO THE S1 BAGS CARRY A WARRANTY?

A – Yes, all S1 bags carry a 3 year limited warranty against manufacturers defects.

Q – HOW DOES S1 ASSIST SCHOOLS AND NOT-FOR-PROFIT GROUPS RAISE FUNDS?

A – Schools and NFP groups take orders for our bags at the retail prices and then S1 will Give Back 100% of the retail profit to assist with their fund raising efforts.

Q – WHAT IS YOUR ULTIMATE GOAL WITH S1?

A – If S1 can keep one gun out of one school, then we have done our job. We intend to expand our line to address each and every safety issue by providing the finest quality clear bags on the market to fit every need.
