From your first sketch to a container at your door — the six steps of OEM/ODM bag production, with realistic lead times. A clear map so you know exactly what to expect when you manufacture with Jinman Bags.
Home / Custom Manufacturing Process
Typical timeline: sample 3–7 days + bulk 20–35 days + shipping 5–30 days.
01
Send a reference photo, sketch, or spec — or choose from 143+ in-stock designs as your starting point. Include size, material, color, and logo intent.
02
Jinman builds a physical sample in 3–5 days (stock base) or 5–7 days (custom-logo). Material swatches and a digital mockup confirm direction before cutting bulk.
03
You review the sample, request tweaks, and lock specs: material, hardware, logo method, Pantone colors, and packaging. A confirmed quote follows.
04
Production runs 20–35 days by order size and complexity. You receive QC photos at cutting, sewing, and finishing stages so issues are caught early.
05
Inline and final AQL inspection against your standard. Optional third-party SGS/AZO heavy-metal tests available for EU/US compliance.
06
Shipped FOB or DDP from Ningbo/Shanghai: 15–30 days by sea, 5–7 days by air, to 30+ countries. Documents and booking handled by Jinman.
The more you provide, the faster and more accurate the first sample.
Photo, screenshot, or sketch of the bag shape and details you want.
Target size, material, color (Pantone if possible), and hardware preferences.
Logo file and placement; packaging needs (box, dust bag, hangtag) if any.
Estimated order volume and target ship date so we plan capacity.
Only have a rough idea? Jinman's team helps with design, material selection, and pricing — just send what you have.
It follows six steps: (1) share your concept or pick a stock base, (2) Jinman develops a sample (3–7 days), (3) you approve and we finalize specs, (4) bulk production runs 20–35 days with QC photos, (5) quality inspection, (6) global shipping from Ningbo/Shanghai. MOQ is 100 pieces per custom style.
At minimum: a reference photo or sketch, target size, preferred material, color, and logo/brand. The more detail you give, the faster and more accurate the sample. Jinman can also help with design and material selection if you only have a rough idea.
Sample: 3–5 days for stock-based custom, 5–7 days for fully custom-logo development. Bulk production: 20–35 days depending on complexity and quantity. Shipping adds 5–7 days by air or 15–30 days by sea. Plan roughly 4–8 weeks door-to-door.
Yes. Jinman offers custom logo via embossing, screen/digital print, metal plate, and woven label, plus Pantone color matching and private-label packaging (boxes, dust bags, hangtags). These are standard parts of the OEM/ODM service.
MOQ is 100 pieces per style for custom OEM/ODM. You can mix colors within the run (e.g., 100 pcs across 2–3 colors). In-stock designs can be ordered from 1 piece with your logo added.

Wholesale Handbags by Region & Channel
A custom programme has gates, and knowing what arrives at each gate - and what you need to approve - removes most of the anxiety around overseas production.
| Stage | Duration | What you receive | What you must decide |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brief and quotation | 2-3 days | Priced quote by quantity tier, material options | Material direction, quantity, target date |
| Technical pack | 2-4 days | Dimensional drawing, material spec, construction notes | Confirm dimensions and hardware |
| Sample | 5-7 days | Physical prototype, photos from multiple angles | Fit, feel, function - request revisions |
| Revisions | 3-5 days | Revised sample if changes were requested | Approve or adjust again |
| PP sample sign-off | 1-2 days | Pre-production sample from bulk materials | Sign as the benchmark for inspection |
| Bulk production | 25-40 days | Progress photos at cutting, assembly, finishing | None - we hold to the PP standard |
| Inspection | 1-2 days | AQL 2.5 report with photos and measurements | Accept, or agree remedial work |
| Shipment | Varies by mode | Packing list, invoice, compliance documents | Release balance, nominate forwarder |
The signed pre-production sample is the reference standard for the entire run. Everything the inspector checks - dimensions, stitch density, hardware finish, colour, lining alignment - is measured against that sample, not against your original photo or email. This is why we insist on sign-off before cutting: after that point, changes become expensive because material has already been committed and the line scheduled.
As many as you need before the pre-production sample is signed off - that is the purpose of the stage. Once bulk cutting begins, changes become expensive, which is why the PP sample is the benchmark.
The pre-production sample made from actual bulk materials on the production line. It is the reference standard inspectors measure the whole run against, so signing it is the most important approval in the process.
Yes. We send photos at cutting, assembly and finishing stages, and a full AQL 2.5 inspection report with measurements and images before shipment is released.
