Phase 1: Strategic Planning & Conceptualization (The Foundation)
(Ideally 8-12 weeks before required delivery for complex orders)
Thorough groundwork is essential for a smooth bulk order.
- Step 1: Define Your Core Objectives & Target Audience.
- Purpose of the Bags: What specific role will these bags play? (e.g., Welcome bags for a Mumbai conference, premium client gifts, employee laptop carriers, trade show totes, sustainable retail shoppers). This dictates style, features, and perceived value.
- Audience Profile: Who are the end-users? (e.g., C-suite executives, tech developers, event attendees, retail customers in Mumbai). Their needs and preferences (style, functionality, durability expectations) are key.
- Key Brand Message: What should the bag communicate about your company? (e.g., Innovation, reliability, sustainability, luxury).
- Quantity Required: An accurate estimate is crucial for production planning and costing. Consider a small buffer.
- Budget Allocation: Determine a realistic budget per bag or an overall project budget.
- Step 2: Outline Bag Specifications & Desired Features.
- Bag Style: Tote, backpack, messenger, laptop bag, drawstring, document bag, jute shopper, etc. (Sidrah Sales offers a wide range).
- Material Choice: Canvas (specify weight/GSM), polyester (specify denier/D), nylon, jute, organic cotton, rPET, NWPP. Consider durability, aesthetics, printability, eco-friendliness, and budget.
- Size & Dimensions: Ensure it’s practical for intended contents (e.g., A4 documents, laptop size, grocery capacity).
- Color: Bag base color and desired print colors (provide Pantone/PMS codes for accuracy).
- Essential Features:
- Closure: Zipper, snap, velcro, drawstring, open top.
- Handles/Straps: Length (shoulder/hand-carry), material (webbing, self-fabric, padded), adjustability.
- Pockets: Internal (zippered, slip), external (water bottle, quick access).
- Lining, Padding, Gussets: As required for functionality and structure.
Phase 2: Collaboration with Sidrah Sales & Design Finalization (The Blueprint)
(Ideally 6-10 weeks before delivery)
Engaging your manufacturer early is key.
- Step 3: Initial Consultation & Quotation from Sidrah Sales.

- Step 4: Artwork Submission & Design Refinement.
- Provide Print-Ready Artwork: Submit your logo and any other design elements in high-resolution vector format (.AI, .EPS, .PDF). Ensure fonts are outlined.
- Collaborative Design Process: Work with the Sidrah Sales design team (or your agency) to finalize placement, size, and colors of your branding on the bag. We ensure it’s optimized for visibility and aesthetic appeal.
- Consider All Panels: Think about branding on the front, back, gussets, or even straps for maximum impact.
- Step 5: Digital Mock-up Approval.
- Visual Confirmation: Sidrah Sales will create and send you a detailed digital mock-up (a visual proof) of your custom bag, showing the design, colors, and placement.
- Meticulous Review: Carefully check every detail. This is a critical stage to catch any errors before physical sampling. Request revisions if needed.
Phase 3: Sampling & Final Approval (The Quality Checkpoint)
(Ideally 4-8 weeks before delivery)
This step is vital for bulk orders to guarantee satisfaction.
- Step 6: Pre-Production Sample (PPS) Creation.
- The Gold Standard: For most bulk custom bag orders, Sidrah Sales strongly recommends and produces a physical Pre-Production Sample. This is one complete bag made to your exact approved specifications.
- Manufacturing the Sample: This involves sourcing the exact materials, pattern cutting, printing/embroidering the panels, and complete assembly by our skilled team in Mumbai.
- Step 7: PPS Evaluation & Formal Approval.
- Thorough Inspection: Once you receive the PPS, examine it meticulously for:
- Material quality, color, and texture.
- Construction, stitching quality, and seam finishing.
- Print/embroidery accuracy, color vibrancy, and placement.
- Correct dimensions and features (pockets, zippers, handles).
- Overall look, feel, and functionality.
- Provide Sign-Off: If the sample meets all your expectations, provide formal written approval to Sidrah Sales to proceed with bulk production. If minor adjustments are needed, communicate them clearly.
- Thorough Inspection: Once you receive the PPS, examine it meticulously for:

- Step 9: Sidrah Sales’ Multi-Stage Quality Control (QC).
- In-Process Checks: Quality is monitored at various stages – fabric inspection, print checks, stitching audits – to identify and rectify any deviations early.
- Final QC Inspection: Before packing, a dedicated QC team conducts a thorough final inspection of the finished bags (either 100% or AQL-based statistical sampling for very large orders) against the approved PPS and quality benchmarks. This covers aesthetics, construction, branding, dimensions, and functionality.
Phase 5: Logistics & Delivery from Mumbai (The Homestretch)
