Drawstring Pouches & Dust Bags: B2B Sourcing Checklist

This sourcing guide is for importers, footwear and handbag brands, promotional distributors and packaging buyers purchasing in production quantities. EcoBag’s garment, shoe and liner range lists finished drawstring pouches, printed dust bags, full-length zippered garment bags and plain cut pieces. The quote request should identify which form you need instead of using “bag” as the only description.

Choose the product form first

Terms can overlap in supplier catalogues. A handbag dust bag may be a drawstring pouch, but a garment cover can use a zipper, and a liner may be a flat cut piece. State the end item and intended packaging position so the quotation covers the correct construction.

A plain cut piece is not a finished drawstring pouch. The product page describes these pieces as unprinted, without a handle or drawstring, and quoted by cut size and grammage. Make that distinction explicit if you need a semi-finished component rather than a sewn bag.

Compare material and closure options

The current product page lists non-woven, satin-feel and velvet-feel fabrics for finished pouches and dust bags. The zippered garment bag is listed as non-woven. “Satin-feel” and “velvet-feel” describe the product options shown on the site; confirm the exact fabric composition and finish in the quotation rather than assuming a fibre content from the surface description.

For a drawstring style, specify whether the closure uses a cord or ribbon, how it exits the channel, and the colour if it matters to the packaging design. For a garment cover, specify the zipper length and the hanger opening. If a particular bag must fit a retail box or an item with protruding parts, provide a reference drawing or sample dimensions and confirm the fit with a production sample.

Measure the item and finished bag

Measure the item at its widest and tallest points, including handles, soles or accessories that will be packed with it. Then state the finished bag width and height you want. Add a side or bottom gusset where the contents need depth. Do not assume that a “standard” dust-bag size will fit every shoe, handbag or garment; the site does not define a universal fit standard.

For garments, write the garment length and the finished cover length separately. For footwear, tell the factory whether one shoe or a pair goes in each bag. For handbags, note handles or hardware that need clearance. These details help the factory review the construction, but the approved sample remains the practical check for fit and appearance.

Decoration, packing and order quantity

The product page lists 1–2 colour printing as included on finished bags in the shown styles. Send the logo file, requested print colours and approximate print area. Ask the factory to confirm whether the artwork, print location and fabric surface work together. If you require no decoration, label the finished bag “blank / no printing.” Plain cut pieces are supplied without print.

State packing requirements such as pieces per inner bag, carton labels or carton marks. Identify any retailer or warehouse labelling requirement before the quotation is finalized. The published custom-production minimum is 500 pcs per style, per colour and per size; each different material, colour, closure or dimension can create a distinct specification, so ask how your proposed quantity split is counted.

Use this RFQ checklist

1. Protected item: handbag, shoe, garment, accessory, gift or other product; include a photo or reference style if possible.
2. Product form: finished drawstring pouch, dust bag, zippered garment cover or plain cut piece.
3. Dimensions: finished width, height and gusset, plus the object measurements that drive the fit.
4. Material and colour: state the selected site-listed material or ask for options; confirm composition and finish.
5. Closure and details: drawcord, ribbon, zipper, hanger opening, seams and any reinforcement requested.
6. Decoration: artwork, print colours and position, or “blank / no printing.”
7. Commercial details: quantity per style/colour/size, packing, delivery destination and target date.

The site lists working samples at 3–7 working days after the specification and any required artwork are confirmed. FOB Guangzhou is standard; CIF or DDP can be quoted on request and confirmed per product, route and order. Ask the quote to state the sample charge, sample freight, bulk schedule, packing and named delivery basis.

Questions to resolve before approving a sample

• Does the sample match the finished dimensions, closure and fabric described in the quotation?
• Is the print colour and placement approved on the actual fabric?
• Does the packed product fit without forcing the closure or distorting the bag?
• Are the quantity split, MOQ, packing and delivery basis written down?
• Are any claims about protection, material composition or test performance supported by product-specific evidence?
