The sample is the cheapest insurance in custom manufacturing. Here's how the three sample types work, what they cost (and when that cost comes back), and how the sample protects your bulk order.
Custom bag samples come in three types: a free stock sample (pay shipping only), a logo sample with your branding applied, and a full development sample of a new design — the latter two cost USD 30–300 depending on complexity, refunded against the bulk order. Making a sample typically takes one to two weeks plus courier time, and the approved sample becomes the quality standard your bulk goods are checked against.
| Type | What it is | Cost | When to use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stock sample | An existing style from our shelf, as-is | Free + shipping | Checking quality and construction before anything else |
| Logo sample | Stock style with your logo applied by the chosen method | Within USD 30–300, refunded on bulk | Approving logo look before a branded run |
| Development sample | A new or modified design built from your spec or reference | USD 30–300 by complexity, refunded on bulk | OEM/ODM projects and structural changes |
Your approved pre-production sample is the control copy: fabric, stitching, hardware, logo position. Bulk inspection means comparing goods against it — disagreements become checkable facts, not opinions.
You get detailed photos/video of the sample first, so obvious revisions happen before courier fees, not after.
Most development samples go through one round of tweaks — strap length, pocket position, logo size. Budget one revision cycle into your timeline; see lead-time planning.
Pick a base style to sample from the style shelf, or compare logo methods first on the logo guide.
Stock samples free (shipping only); logo and development samples USD 30–300 by complexity, refunded against bulk.
Stock ships in days; logo/development samples are typically made within 1–2 weeks, plus 3–7 days courier.
Strongly recommended — the approved sample is the quality anchor your bulk goods are checked against.
Yes, credited against the bulk order of that style.
