OEM Bags Factory

Markets

The bags we make, by the market they are made for

A tote bag for a trade show, a delivery backpack for a courier fleet and a branded gift pouch for a cosmetics label are three different businesses. Here is how we map them.

Start from the market, not from the bag

Most buyers start by searching for a bag shape — a tote, a backpack, a pouch. That is the wrong entry point. The same canvas tote is a promotional product for one buyer, a retail shopping bag for another and a gift bag for a third, and each of them has its own MOQ, its own decoration method, its own packaging and its own delivery schedule.

So we organise our factory by market first. Pick the market that matches what you are actually buying bags for, and the page tells you who buys in it, what they prioritise, the commercial terms we usually start from, the bag formats that fit, and the questions we are asked most. Every market page links to the client industries that order in it and to the models already in our catalogue.

Procurement models

The five ways buyers actually order bags

A market tells you who buys. A procurement model tells you how they buy — and that is what decides whether you need a price list, a sample, a development brief or a delivery deadline. We roll these out in the order shown.

Behind every order there are only five kinds of business

Knowing which model you are buying from changes what you should ask us for: a price list, a sample, a development brief or a delivery deadline.
