BUYER GUIDE / MATERIALS & COLOUR
Choose materials and colours for a custom bag
A good material brief connects the bag’s use, construction and brand look. The catalogue references below show material families used in current Yunshengyuan listings; confirm the exact specification and finish for your project before sampling.
Start with the intended use and bag structure, then agree the outer material, lining, thickness or hand feel, colour reference, logo method and closure. Approve the combination on a project sample.
Material references in the catalogue
Each linked listing is a product reference, not a promise that every variation is stocked. Use it to open a discussion about the exact material, finish and construction for your order.
ABS shell
For hard-shell cases: dimensions, finish, handle, closure and interior layout.
Product reference ↗PHYSICAL REFERENCE PHOTOS
A broader material and trim palette
These are real reference photographs of textile surfaces, swatches and components. They illustrate variation in texture and colour; they are not a promise of current factory stock or an approved specification.
Reference photos support discussion only. Confirm the exact material, colour, thickness, backing and availability for each project and sample.
More physical fabric swatches
Explore texture and colour references. Confirm composition, weight and availability with the project sample.
More components to specify
Outer fabric is only one part of a bag. The inner construction and trims affect feel, structure and day-to-day use.
Lining & insulated layers
Confirm lining surface, colour, wipe-clean expectations, insulation layer and seam finish against the intended use.
Interlining, padding & reinforcement
Specify where support or cushioning is needed, plus the desired hand feel and shape retention. Confirm actual layer construction in the sample.
Zipper tape, chain & pullers
Discuss opening length, tape colour, teeth appearance, slider type and puller shape or finish. Confirm the compatible set together.
Puller details
Explore puller size, material appearance, cord or tab shape, logo method and ease of grip; final options depend on the selected zipper.
Hardware & trims
List buckles, D-rings, sliders, clips, webbing and binding separately. Confirm dimensions, finish, colour and attachment method.
Logo & construction details
Share artwork, placement and approximate size. Discuss embroidery, print, patch or metal logo according to the chosen surface and sample.
Size, shape & pockets
Provide target dimensions, contents, compartment count, pocket location and reference shape. Confirm fit on a prototype or sample.
Packaging
Specify individual packing, labels, barcode, carton marks or retail packaging needs; confirm materials and artwork before production.
Colour matching
Identify colour per outer fabric, lining, zipper tape, webbing, binding and logo. Send a colour code or physical reference when available.
Pockets & compartments
Mark pocket count, location, access direction, divider and closure on a sketch or reference photo so structure can be reviewed.
Photographs may show examples or illustrative references. Confirm project-specific materials, components, prices, minimum order and lead time before approval.
What to include in a material brief
Share the decisions you have made and mark the rest as open questions. This gives the supplier a clear basis for reviewing the design and preparing a sample.
- Bag type, contents and intended use; include the device or item dimensions where fit matters.
- Outer material and surface appearance; note texture, sheen, transparency or colour reference.
- Lining, padding, pockets, compartments, reinforcement and closure details.
- Logo artwork, placement, approximate size and preferred application; attach a vector file if available.
- Estimated order quantity, destination market and packaging or barcode requirements.
Colour, trims and sample approval
Send a Pantone reference or a physical swatch when you have one. Identify the colour on each component—outer fabric, lining, zipper tape, binding, webbing and logo—rather than describing the whole bag with one colour name. Review the physical sample under agreed lighting and record the approved version before bulk production.
Material selection FAQs
Which bag material should I choose?
Choose by intended use, bag structure, appearance and target cost. Share a reference bag or describe the use case; the material and construction can then be reviewed together.
Can I request a custom colour or material combination?
List the preferred colour reference and the components it applies to. Material availability, colour matching and minimums are confirmed for the selected design and order quantity.
What should I approve before bulk production?
Approve the sample’s material, colour, lining, dimensions, logo, closures and packaging against the agreed specification. Keep the approved sample or revision record with the order.
