Spec snapshot
A fast engineering view of what matters for sourcing, quoting, and repeatable production.
| Item | Typical | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Carry mode | hand carry / shoulder / backpack straps (by spec) | Carry mode defines reinforcement and strap geometry |
| Typical size | 25L–45L / 50L–75L / 90L+ | Travel and gym programs often need multiple sizes in one line |
| Zipper strategy | #5/#8/#10 coil + end reinforcement | Zipper gauge and end structure are frequent failure points |
| Base durability | double layer / skid panel / molded base (by spec) | Bottom wear drives returns; define early |
| Pocket architecture | minimal / shoe compartment / wet pocket | Pocket complexity is a major assembly-time driver |
| Typical MOQ | 300–800 pcs | Depends on fabric dyeing, embroidery, and hardware customizations |
Cost drivers (what moves the unit price)
This makes quoting transparent and helps you choose performance upgrades that actually matter.
| Cost driver | Impact | How we optimize |
|---|---|---|
| Zipper length & gauge | Long main zippers and heavier gauges increase cost and assembly time | Choose gauge to match load; reinforce ends instead of over-spec everywhere |
| Pocket count & lining | Each pocket adds sewing operations and binding/lining cost | Use modular organization panels where possible |
| Carry system complexity | Backpack strap conversions add webbing/hardware and QA points | Design carry modes as clean modules with repeatable reinforcement |
| Base reinforcement | Skid panels and double layers add material cost but reduce returns | Target reinforcement only at high-wear zones |
| Branding package | Embroidery and molded patches affect lead time and MOQ | Prototype branding placements early to avoid rework |
Capacity & dimensions reference
Standard size options for duffel bags. We can also customize dimensions to fit your specific gear.
| Volume | Typical Dimensions | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 25L - 35L | 50 x 26 x 26 cm | Gym and short trips |
| 40L - 55L | 60 x 30 x 30 cm | Weekend travel and carry-on style |
| 60L - 90L | 70 x 34 x 34 cm | Team gear and longer trips |
Materials & fabrics
Material choice drives performance, durability, finishing, and target price point.
| Fabric | Waterproof | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 600D / 900D polyester | water-resistant options | varies | Cost-effective for gym and promotional programs. |
| 1680D ballistic nylon | water-resistant | varies | High abrasion resistance for travel and heavy use. |
| TPU coated fabric (by spec) | water-resistant to waterproof | varies | Easy cleaning and stronger protection. |

Frequently asked questions
Q: Can you add a separate shoe compartment?
A: Yes. We can design ventilated or easy-clean shoe compartments and validate the structure in sampling.
Q: Can you produce carry-on sizes?
A: Yes. We can develop sizes aligned to common carry-on constraints (final compliance depends on airline rules).
