What is your typical production lead time

As a bespoke bag manufacturer, we understand the importance of timely delivery. Our typical production lead time depends on several factors, including the complexity of the design, order quantity, and customization requirements. Below is a guide to give you a clearer idea:

1. Sample Production

Before mass production begins, we usually start with a prototype or sample to ensure all details meet your expectations. The lead time for creating a sample typically takes 7-10 days, depending on the design complexity and materials used. During this phase, we collaborate closely with you to finalize any adjustments.

2. Mass Production

Once the sample is approved, the mass production lead time depends on the order size and specific customizations. In general:

• For smaller orders (e.g., 100-500 units), the production lead time is typically 15-25 days.
• For larger orders (e.g., 1,000+ units), the lead time ranges from 25-40 days, depending on material availability and the number of customization features like printing, embroidery, or additional compartments.

3. Material Sourcing and Customization

If your order involves special materials or highly customized features (e.g., embossing, unique hardware, or rare fabrics), additional time may be required for sourcing. We strive to maintain efficient timelines while ensuring the highest quality, so this may add an extra 5-10 days to the overall schedule.

4. Shipping and Delivery

Once the production phase is complete, we offer several shipping options based on your location, urgency, and budget. Here’s a guide of the process and timelines for each shipping method:

Air Freight

• Timeline: Typically, air freight takes 7-10 days for most international destinations.
• Ideal for: Smaller orders or urgent shipments where speed is a priority.
• Details: Air freight is faster but may come with higher costs. It’s suitable for clients who need their products quickly, especially for time-sensitive promotions or launches. We work with reliable air carriers to ensure timely delivery.

Sea Freight

• Timeline: Depending on the destination, sea freight can take 20-40 days.

For destinations in the US or Europe, the transit time is generally 25-35 days.

For Southeast Asia, the timeline is typically 15-25 days.

For Australia or other regions, expect 20-30 days.

• Ideal for: Large or bulk orders where cost-efficiency is a priority over speed.
• Details: Sea freight is a cost-effective solution for larger shipments. It’s the preferred method for bulk orders and is more economical, especially for long-distance deliveries. We coordinate with trusted shipping partners to ensure smooth customs clearance and on-time delivery to your location.

3. Express Courier (DHL, FedEx, UPS)

• Timeline: 5-7 days for most global destinations.
• Ideal for: Urgent small orders or samples.
• Details: Express couriers offer the fastest shipping option, but it comes with a higher cost. This method is commonly used for sending prototypes, samples, or small orders that need to reach their destination quickly.

Customs and Documentation

We handle all the necessary export documents, including commercial invoices, packing lists, and any other relevant documentation to ensure smooth customs clearance. For international shipments, it’s important to note that customs procedures and regulations vary by country. While we strive to expedite the process, customs delays can sometimes affect delivery times. We work closely with our logistics partners to mitigate any potential issues and keep you informed throughout the shipping process.

Tracking and Updates

For all shipments, we provide tracking numbers and regular updates on your order’s progress. Whether you choose air, sea, or express courier, you will receive real-time notifications so you can monitor your shipment and ensure it arrives on schedule.

In total, the entire process from sample production to delivery typically takes between 30-60 days, depending on the scope of your project. However, we always aim to meet your deadlines and can expedite certain orders if necessary. Please let us know your timeline, and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
