School backpacks on a coupler

Screed

— closing device in the form of a rope passed around the neck: the backpack closes by tightening the rope and opens by loosening it. Initially, the tie had to be tied in a knot to secure it in the closed position, but now snap buttons or other “quick” devices are usually used. Additionally, a zippered valve can be provided above the neckline (see the relevant paragraph), however, the screed is still considered the main lock. Such a lock gives the product an original style, similar to old traditional bags and bags — although the ties can also be installed in quite “modern” backpacks (only backpacks, this option is not used in bags or knapsacks).
