3. How to pick the right size for your market

Frequently asked questions

Do you measure with or without handles?

Our size tables use body dimensions (W×H×D), excluding handles and straps. We list strap drop separately so you know how it carries.

Can I mix a standard size with custom hardware?

Yes — size and hardware are independent. Pick any standard dimension and add your branded zipper, logo plate or chain.

What tolerance should I expect?

Mass production holds about ±1 cm on each dimension versus the approved sample. We send a pre-production sample for sign-off before bulk.

Need a Custom Size?

Send your target cm (or a sample) — we'll build to spec and return a pre-production sample for sign-off.
