Custom Bags — Overview & OEM/ODM Services
We are a Suzhou-based OEM/ODM bag manufacturer with 14+ years of production experience, supplying custom bags to 200+ retailers, brand owners, event agencies, school programs, and promotional distributors. Our bag program covers all 12 sub-categories with full private-label support — from fabric sourcing and logo design to bulk production and global shipping.
What Are Custom Bags?
Custom bags are bags manufactured to a buyer's specification, including material (cotton, canvas, polyester, nylon, rPET, PU leather, velvet, kraft, art paper), size, construction, color, hardware, and logo application method. Unlike retail stock bags, custom bags are produced in dedicated bag programs for retailers, brand owners, and B2B buyers who need a unique, repeatable supply. galinkltd.com's custom bags cover 4 oz to 18 oz fabric weights, 50 pcs MOQ per design, and OEM / ODM / Private Label workflows.
OEM/ODM vs Private Label — What's the Difference?
| Model | Buyer contribution | galinkltd.com role | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| OEM (your design) | Buyer provides artwork + specs | We manufacture to spec | Brand owners with finished design |
| ODM (our design) | Buyer picks from our catalog | We design + manufacture | First-time B2B buyers, new collections |
| Private Label | Buyer brand name only | White-label + custom packaging | Distributors, retailers, brand extensions |
Most custom bags for retail and corporate programs run on OEM; new B2B buyers typically start with ODM to accelerate time-to-market.
Types of Custom Bags We Manufacture
Our custom bags family covers twelve primary sub-categories, each with its own size, material, and logo convention. All twelve share the same OEM/ODM workflow and minimum order quantity.
Custom Logo & Print Methods
Logo application is the primary specification on any bag order. We support five logo methods, each suited to different program types and volume tiers.
Embroidery vs Print vs Screen Print vs Jacquard
| Method | Best for | Durability | Minimum detail | Cost tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Embroidery | Logo bags, premium positioning | High (wash-resistant) | 3-4 mm line | $$ |
| Reactive / pigment print | Photo art, gradients, complex color | Medium | 1-2 mm line | $ |
| Screen print | Flat color, high-volume, bold logo | High | 2-3 mm line | $ |
| Jacquard (woven-in) | Repeating pattern, full-bag logo | Highest (yarn-level) | 3-5 mm motif | $$$ |
| Hot stamp / debossing | PU leather, vegan leather, paper | High (surface-level) | 2-3 mm motif | $$ |
For custom bags in retail programs, embroidery is the standard for logo corner placement. For promotional custom bags with full-surface art, reactive print is the default. For high-volume promotional custom bags, screen print offers the best cost-per-piece. For premium custom bags in fashion and gift categories, jacquard weaving is the long-life option. For custom bags in PU leather and paper categories, hot stamp or debossing is the high-end choice.
Logo Placement Guide
Common logo placements for bags:
- Corner (tote / cosmetic / fashion / gift): 2"×2" embroidery or print, 1" from edge
- Center (canvas / cotton / drawstring): 4"×4" embroidery, screen print, or reactive print
- End panel (duffel / backpack): 6"×2" woven-in jacquard full-width band
- Top center (lunch / cooler): 3"×3" embroidery or heat transfer
- Wrap-around (gym / sports): full-bag waffle logo or repeated tile
Our design team produces a free digital mockup of every bag order within 24 hours of inquiry, so you can approve placement and scale before sample production.
Materials & Fabric Options
Material selection is the second key specification on bag orders. We work with cotton and canvas as our base, plus polyester, nylon, rPET, PU leather, velvet, and paper for different program positions.
Cotton, Canvas, Polyester & Nylon
| Material | Fiber / construction | Feel | Common use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard cotton | 4-8 oz woven | Soft, natural | Tote, gift bag, fabric pouch |
| Heavy canvas | 12-18 oz woven | Sturdy, structured | Shopping tote, retail bag, conference |
| 600D polyester | 600 denier PU-coated | Strong, light | Backpack, duffel, cooler, lunch |
| 210D polyester | 210 denier | Lightweight | Drawstring, liner |
| Nylon | 420D / 840D / ripstop | Strong, water-resistant | Drawstring, gym bag, outdoor |
| PU leather | Polyurethane-coated fabric | Smooth, premium | Fashion, cosmetic, gift, duffel |
| rPET | Recycled PET polyester | Eco-friendly, durable | Reusable, drawstring, lanyard |
| Velvet | Flocked velvet / soft velvet | Plush, luxury | Jewelry, wedding, gift pouch |
| Art paper / kraft | 150-300 gsm paper | Rigid, printable | Gift bag, retail packaging |
For custom bags in retail and event programs, cotton or canvas at 6-12 oz is the standard. For custom bags in gym, sports, and outdoor programs, 600D polyester or ripstop nylon is the high-durability choice. For custom bags in fashion and luxury programs, PU leather and velvet are the premium materials.

For sustainability-focused programs, we supply GRS-certified recycled materials:
- GRS recycled cotton — from pre- and post-consumer textile waste; same hand-feel as virgin cotton
- rPET — recycled PET polyester from post-consumer bottles; reduces CO2 by 60% vs virgin polyester
