We have a reason to celebrate yet again!
Pelikan Vertriebsgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG has received the Innovation Award for Ergonomics 2023 from the Institute for Health and Ergonomics (IGR) in Nuremberg for the second year in a row. We have been nominated again for the Innovation Award 2025.
We managed to convince the expert jury made of doctors, physiotherapists and researchers with our child-friendly schoolbags “SoftLight”, “SoftLight GREENline”, “FiloLight” and “FiloActive DIN”.
We are very delighted to be honored in this way and will continue to pursue the goal of developing functional, innovative and sustainable schoolbags every day," states Corinna Dobrott, the product manager of the Herlitz schoolbags team.

We would also like to thank our costumers for their trust in our brand. Thanks to your positive feedback, herlitz schoolbags and accessories were awarded the German Fairness Award 2023.
Collection 2025
For the perfect start to school, Herlitz also offers a schoolbag collection in 2025 that leaves nothing to be desired in terms of quality, ergonomics and safety. The back-friendly, lightweight schoolbags provide the highest wearing comfort and fascinate with their trendy variety of motifs and plenty of practical accessories - the new Herlitz models are much more than a school bag!
The school backpack for cool kids
The Herlitz Ultimate offers the ultimate product feature: being made with a fabric created from recycled PET bottles, so when you purchase it you take part in saving the planet and look cool doing it.
Friends
Every child has a best friend to go on adventures together. Saving the planet is part of our adventure and we would like to have you on board.
Ergonomics
All Herlitz back paddings are ergonomically shaped and breathable to ensure an excellent wearing comfort.
Our new models FiloActive DIN and FiloActive XL sport an infinitely adjustable back system which is certified by the IGR and for which we received the Innovation Award for Ergonomics 2023 and are nominated again for 2025.
Models SoftLight GREENline, FiloActive DIN, FiloActive XL.
Individually adjustable shoulder and chest straps as well as a removable hip strap for our ergonomically certified models ensure a perfect fit and well-distributed weight.
Easy opening with the magnetic buckle from FIDLOCK
For our premium models FiloLight, SoftLight and SoftFlex, we trust in the SNAP buckle flat 30 by the renown lock manufacturer FIDLOCK. The patented magnetic locking mechanism enables a single-handed opening of the schoolbag and underlines the smart, user-oriented, and ergonomic design made for everyday use. The matte FIDLOCK buckle branded with the glossy Herlitz logo is a true eye-catcher.

High quality reflective material ensures a high level of visibility in the dark. Most locks are also equipped with an extra reflector and some models offer reflective thread.
Lightweight
During playtime a schoolbag shouldn‘t be weighing you down. That’s why we make our Schoolbags as light as possible.
Under
With a weight of under 1 kg or even under 750 g ("Ultralight") our schoolbags are very light and comfortable to wear for kids.
