Understand product specifications and requirements

• Determine the exact length and width of the bag
• Clearly understand the GSM rating of the bag and the type of PP fabric needed
• Is the product coated or uncoated (coated inside or outside)

The above factors directly affect the price of the product, so customers need to provide full information to the factory so that the supplier can quote the most accurate price.

Test sample products

Customers should ask the factory to send sample products to check the quality to see if they meet the requirements before proceeding with mass production in large quantities.

Visit the office and factory

• To have peace of mind during the purchasing process, the manufacturer also encourages customers to visit the factory so they can see their products firsthand.
