Between meeting rooms, people often carry just a laptop and a few notes. On a train journey, the same device travels with a charger, headphones and other belongings. A sleeve might be carried on its own in the first setting and packed inside another bag in the second. Deciding its role helps avoid a design that is too bulky or lacks the storage people need.
Screen size is only part of the fit
Two laptops sold with the same screen size can have different bodies. Measure width, depth and thickness, including any case that stays on the device, and match these against the sleeve’s usable internal dimensions. A closure that strains suggests a poor fit. For an employee equipment programme, quantities by laptop model are more useful than assuming one size will suit the whole organisation. The Laptop Portfolio 13/14-inch and 15/16-inch in the personalised RAINS selection illustrate this choice: select the format around the devices and have usable internal dimensions confirmed before allocating sleeves.
What needs to travel in one hand?
A handle, where provided, can help with short trips around the workplace. A charger pocket takes up more room when filled, which matters if the sleeve goes inside a work backpack. Assess padding and construction for the particular product; the word “sleeve” does not guarantee a specific level of impact or rain protection.
Adding a notebook to a mobile working kit makes sense when the complete set is still easy to carry. Today Merch can help you find sleeves for your team’s equipment using their laptop models and working routines. Personalisation is then developed for the product you choose.
