As consumers, the bags we usually get are all finished products fully put into the market. So you want to know how a bag is assembled from accessories into a complete bag. Today we will learn about the making process of a simple bag.
Firstly, when you get a design from a customer, you need to understand the whole design of this bag. Then we have to know the material composition of the bag, which is generally composed of five parts, body material, support material, accessories material, hardware, and other plastic hardware.
Body materials: Nylon, Polyester, Denim, Canvas, Artificial leather, Genuine leather, Lining, Mesh, etc.
Support materials: EPE foam, Sponge, Rebound glue, High foam, Non-woven fabric, PE board, PP board, Cardboard, etc.
Accessories: Zipper Tapers, inner binding, webbing, elastic bands, Velcro, etc.
Hardware: zipper pulls, D ring, hook buckles, buckles, eyelets, etc.
Plastic hardware: Sun buckles, hook buckles, shoulder straps, D buckles, plug buckles, ladder buckles, rope buckles, etc.
For example, Let’s know these parts from the following flat pouch.
Body Fabric: Recycled cotton + 210D lining
Support material: EPE Foam + non-woven fabric
Accessories: zipper tape + inside binding material
Hardware: zipper pull + pull tag
Excepting the branding logo, a bag contains these parts basically. While the logo depends on the needs of brand.
After we know these parts, let’s learn how to make a sample. According to the customer's design, the required materials are analyzed, fabric accessories and hardware are purchased. This process generally takes 2-3 working days. The materials are returned to the factory and the printing is confirmed to be OK.
At this time, the master of the sample room will start to cut out the paper grids. The main function of the paper grid is to determine the size of each part of the bag and the shape of the cutting pieces.Before the grid was made, paper grid electronic drawings were very important for paper grid components. The detailed size description allows the master to have good control over the design of the bag.
Generally, the paper grid is produced in the first round of samples. After the test panel is made, the paper grid is modified according to the actual shape of the sample. After the paper grid is produced, it is easy to find the paper pattern when the complete bag paper grid is pieced together. Making it easier to make cropping adjustments.After the paper grid is confirmed, the formal production of samples begins.
Last, our stitching worker will be responsible for sewing the bags.
She/he will first analyze the overall structure of the bag, then start the stitching according to the content and position marked on the paper grid by the master in the workshop.
To sew it into a bag, the sewing process is inseparable from the experience and skills of the stitching worker. The more skillful, the more perfect the bag. A skilled sewing worker is an essential part of a professional bag factory. When the bag is finished, we will make it clean finally. At this point, a newly designed bag is born.
The birth of any bag will go through the steps of analyzing materials, purchasing materials, printing, cutting, cutting, and turning boards. Each step is important, and the manpower and material resources spent are not what people often see - simple repetitive work. On the contrary, it is a creative job.
