Bag Tech Pack: What to Include

The eight sections a bag factory reads before it can quote accurately and cut a pattern — and the gaps that most often slow a quote down.

Send your tech pack

A bag tech pack is the specification file a factory builds your bag from: dimensioned flat sketches, a bill of materials, a hardware list, construction callouts, Pantone colours, vector logo artwork with placement, and packaging instructions. A complete one lets a factory quote accurately and make a matched sample in about 1–2 weeks without guesswork. Every project here starts from something that already exists — a style on our shelf, a product on the market, a sample in hand, or a tech pack — so while your tech pack is still in progress, any of the other three gets your quote moving now.

The tech pack checklist

SectionWhat to includeWhy the factory needs it
Flat sketchesFront, back, both sides, bottom, top and interior views, true to scale, plus an exploded view for layered partsThe pattern room cuts from these
MeasurementsOverall height, width and depth in cm; every pocket; strap length and width; logo position — each with a toleranceDimensions drive fabric consumption and price
Bill of materialsShell fabric (fibre, denier, coating — e.g. 600D polyester with PU coating), lining, foam and board thickness, webbing widthMaterials are the largest cost driver
Hardware & trimsZipper size and type for each opening (#5, #8, #10), sliders and pullers, buckles, D-rings, cord, labelsHardware decides durability and is what buyers feel first
ConstructionSeam types, edge binding or piping, bartacks at strap anchors, padding locations, stitches per inchConstruction sets the number of sewing operations — and the labour cost
ColoursA Pantone reference for each component: body, trim, lining, webbing, zipper tapeColour matching needs a reference, not a description
Logo & labelsVector artwork (AI, PDF or SVG), the method for each logo, its size and exact positionDecides the branding cost and the mockup
PackagingPolybag, hangtag, barcode or FNSKU labels, pieces per cartonChanges landed cost and freight volume

Fabric choices explained in 600D vs 900D; hardware and trim upgrades in component upgrades; logo methods in logo customization.

Gaps that slow down a quote

Pockets without dimensions

"A front pocket" can be 15 cm or 30 cm, and the price moves with it. Size every pocket.

"Black zipper"

Zipper size and type change both cost and durability. Name them for each opening.

Logo as a screenshot

We can redraw a JPG, but vector files go straight into the mockup and save a round of approvals.

No quantity or target price

The same bag is specified differently at USD 6 than at USD 14. The target price tells us which materials to quote.

What happens after you send it

  1. Review and quoteWithin one to two working days, once we have your quantity, target price and brand website alongside the tech pack.
  2. Pattern and matched sampleOur pattern room builds the pattern; the matched sample costs USD 30–300 by size and complexity, refunded on the bulk order, and takes about 1–2 weeks plus courier. Details in the sample process.
  3. Sample approval, then bulkThe approved sample is the quality standard. Bulk runs 25–30 days from 1,000 pieces per style.

Tech pack still in progress?

A shelf style code with your changes, a photo of a style already on the market, or a physical sample gives our pattern room the same thing a tech pack does: a bag that already exists in some form. Many of our OEM projects start that way — see private label backpacks, OEM vs ODM, or all 229 ready-made styles.

Bag tech pack FAQ

The specification file a factory builds your bag from: flat sketches with dimensions, a bill of materials, a hardware list, construction details, Pantone colours, logo artwork and packaging instructions.

A PDF for the full pack, plus vector logo files (AI, PDF or SVG). A spreadsheet works well for the bill of materials.

Not necessarily. A style code from our shelf with your changes, a photo of a style on the market, or a physical sample work as starting points too. A complete tech pack is the most precise input.

Typically 1-2 weeks to make the matched sample, plus 3-7 days courier. It costs USD 30-300 by size and complexity and is refunded on the bulk order.

Commonly #5 for small pockets, #8 for main compartments on daypacks and #10 for heavy-duty or large openings. Name the size and type for every opening.
