Discover why top brands choose us as their trusted bag manufacturing partner.   1. Factory Overview: A Beyond-Ordinary Bag Manufacturing Facility   Synberry is a specialized bag manufacturer with years of experience in creating high-quality bags such as nylon backpacks, and leather handbags, PU tote bags, cosmetic pouches etc.   Our factory is located in Cambodia, staffed with 700 hundred of skilled workers and equipped with Lean Production lines. With over 30 years of manufacturing experience, we provide a complete one-stop service that includes: • Product design • Sample development • Full testing  • Mass production • Quality inspection • Shipping and logistics support   Our stable production team and efficient process ensure that each order meets the highest quality standards. 2. Custom Materials and Product Options   We produce bags in a wide range of materials based on each client’s request. According to material classification, our primary products comprise the following three categories:   •  Nylon / Polyester Fabric Bags We use various oxford fabrics to make lightweight and durable bags, such as backpacks, duffel bags, shoulder bags, pouches etc. Each fabric is treated to be water-resistant, dust-resistant and abrasion-proof, making it ideal for daily use.   •  PU (Vegan Leather) Bags Our PU bags come in many colors and textures. They offer the perfect mix of style, durability, and cost-efficiency, while supporting eco-friendly and animal-free production.   •  Genuine Leather Bags For some premiums bags, we also use genuine leathers like top-grain cowhide leather or sheepskin leather to create elegant handbags with a smooth touch and a long-lasting, classic look. Each leather piece is carefully selected to highlight natural texture and beauty. 3. From Design to Finished Product   Every bag we make starts with an idea, whether it is a client’s preliminary design or one of our in-house templates, our designers and technicians work closely together to turn sketches and samples into functional, beautiful products. From leather handbags to nylon backpacks, each piece reflects our attention to detail and commitment to quality. Below, we take leather bags as an example to show how each step in our production process turns raw materials into a premium finished bag.   4. Detailed Production Process for Leather Bags   Leather bag production involves a series of meticulously executed steps, each one contributing to the bag’s final quality, durability, and beauty.    From carefully selecting the appropriate leather to precise cutting, skiving, stitching, edge finishing, and hardware fitting, every stage reflects the craftsmanship and dedication of our skilled artisans.   4.1 Incoming Materials – Code, Verify & Inspect   Upon arrival at our factory, all raw materials including main fabric, linings, hardware, and other accessories undergo a thorough inspection before being coded and logged into our material control system. Each batch receives a unique identification tag, allowing our production team to track every material through each stage of manufacturing, from initial storage to cutting, sewing, assembly, and final shipment.    This meticulous process ensures full traceability, quality consistency, and accountability across the entire production chain.   4.2 Incoming Materials – Quality Inspection   Our incoming quality control (IQC) team carefully inspects all incoming leather for thickness, surface imperfections, color consistency, etc. Ensuring that every material meets customer specifications. Only approved leather enters the production process, forming the foundation for premium leather bag manufacturing and OEM bag production.   This meticulous inspection process helps us deliver high-quality leather handbags and luxury bags that meet global brand standards and maintain consistent performance from sample to bulk production.     4.3 In-house Testing Before Cutting   Our factory is equipped with a full range of in-house testing machines. After the incoming materials pass visual inspection by the IQC team, sample pieces are first cut for internal testing which include tensile strength, color fastness, hardware abrasion resistance, water resistance, heavy metal testing and so on. Only when these tests meet the required standards do we proceed to the next cutting stage.    This process allows us to verify quality at an early stage and effectively reduce external lab testing costs and timing.   4.4 Cutting & Pre-material Preparation   Once the materials are approved, they are carefully transported to the cutting area. Skilled operators use die-cut or hot-cut machines or high-precision laser cutters to follow detailed patterns, ensuring each panel is cut accurately and consistently per relevant bag requirement.   Every panel including flaps, side panels, bottoms, and straps is prepared to exact dimensions, providing a perfect foundation for the subsequent assembly and stitching stages. Precision at this stage is critical, as it directly impacts the fit, structure, and overall quality of the finished bag.     4.5 Skiving & Edge-polishing   For premium leather bags, our skilled technicians carefully perform skiving and edge-thinning on both the leather and foam layers. This process ensures that folded edges and stitched seams lie perfectly flat, reducing bulk and enhancing the bag’s overall structural integrity.   Precise skiving is critical for bag durability and aesthetic quality, particularly on areas such as straps, flaps, and side panels, where clean edges and smooth folds contribute to the finished bag’s polished appearance. 4.6 Logo Stamping or Embossing   We treat brand marking as a crucial step in defining the identity of each bag. Using heat-press stamping, foil stamping, or debossing, our skilled technicians apply logos and brand names with meticulous attention to detail.   This process not only ensures clean, precise, and durable branding, but also highlights the craftsmanship that goes into every premium leather bag or other custom bag we produce. Properly executed branding enhances the bag’s aesthetics, elevates its luxury appeal, and strengthens the client’s brand recognition. 4.7 Adhesive Application & Lamination   Specialized machines precisely apply adhesive to the back of each leather panel, ensuring even coverage and optimal bonding strength. Skilled workers then carefully attach the leather to foam or lining boards, aligning every edge and corner to achieve the desired bag structure, firmness, and tactile feel.   This step is critical in leather bag manufacturing, as proper adhesion ensures the bag maintains its shape, durability, and overall quality throughout use. 4.8 Edge Binding (Semi-automatic)   Edge‐binding is performed using semi-automated equipment combined with skilled manual precision, allowing our technicians to carefully control tension, alignment, and edge finishing. This process ensures that all bag edges are smooth, neat, and consistent, preventing fraying or unevenness and contributing to the overall structural integrity and polished appearance of the finished product.   Proper edge-binding is essential in leather bag manufacturing, as it not only enhances durability but also improves the aesthetic appeal of flaps, straps, and side panels. 4.9 Position Hole Drilling & Line Pressing   Punching machines carefully drill positioning holes on leather panels to ensure precise alignment for subsequent stitching and assembly. At the same time, line press machines stamp reinforcement lines or decorative stitches, providing both structural strength and visual detailing.   This step is particularly critical for areas that bear stress, such as straps, handles, and flap edges, ensuring that designer shoulder bags and handbags maintain their shape and durability. 4.10 Hardware Punching & Edge-finishing   All hardware components, including buckles and D-rings etc, are precisely punched, aligned, and installed using specialized machine tools to ensure secure attachment and consistent placement. Besides, the leather edges undergo edge-finishing, where an oil-based treatment is carefully applied and allowed to cure. This process creates smooth, crisp, and refined edges that enhance both the durability and aesthetic appeal of the bag.   Attention to detail in hardware setting and edge-finishing is critical in leather bag manufacturing, as it directly impacts the structural integrity, longevity, and premium look of the finished product. 4.11 Label Making & Edge Finishing   Brand labels are separately produced with meticulous attention to detail. Each label undergoes a specialized edge-oil treatment that enhances durability while giving the edges a smooth, refined finish. After the oiling process, the labels are carefully dried under controlled conditions to ensure the finish remains flawless and consistent.    Following drying, each label is polished by hand to achieve a subtle sheen, highlighting the precision craftsmanship.  4.12 Sewing & Computerized Reinforcement Stitching   The panels then proceed to the sewing line. Skilled workers assemble the bag following workflow: attaching pockets, installing zippers, then stitching major panels.    Critical stress points (for example strap ends) are reinforced using computerized stitching machines, adding pattern stitching (such as cross-reinforcement) for improved durability. 4.13 Final Quality Inspection (FQC)   Before shipping, each finished bag undergoes a comprehensive, multi-step inspection process to ensure it meets the highest quality standards. The checks include visual inspection of overall appearance, verification of dimensional tolerances to ensure precise sizing, evaluation of stitching strength to confirm durability, testing of hardware components for secure attachment and long-lasting performance, and thorough assessment of finishing details such as edge treatments, polish, and surface uniformity. Any item that fails to meet the established standards is immediately flagged and returned to the production team for correction or rework.    This meticulous quality control process guarantees that every bag leaving the factory not only meets functional requirements but also embodies the premium look, feel, and craftsmanship expected by all clients and international markets. 4.14 In-house finished product testing   To ensure every bag meets international durability standards, we conduct additional performance tests upon request such as seam and stitch strength tests using tensile machines, and load-and-drop tests that simulate real-life use.    These rigorous checks guarantee that each product maintains its form and strength even under demanding conditions. 4.15 Needle Detector & Disinfection   For premium brands or children’s products, except all above standard processes, we added needle-detector machine and Ultraviolet sterilizer equipment as an extra process. These machines ensure that each bag is thoroughly inspected for any traces of metal debris, providing an added layer of safety and quality control.    In addition, the disinfection process guarantees that all bags remain hygienic, clean, and safe for end-users. This combination of meticulous inspection and hygiene measures reinforces our commitment to delivering premium, worry-free products. 4.16 Packing & Shipping   Once bags have passed all quality inspections and testing, each qualified item is carefully cleaned to remove any dust or particles, ensuring a pristine presentation. Depending on the material and brand requirements, bags are then placed into protective dust polybags or specially designed protection covers that prevent scratches and maintain shape during storage and transit.    Each bag is clearly labeled with SKU, color and other relevant details to ensure accurate identification and traceability before entering finished warehouse. The labeled bags are then systematically packed into sturdy cartons, which are marked with comprehensive shipping information, including client’s name, destination region, quantity etc. So any finished goods at our warehouse can be quickly tracked from our inventory control system.   Finally, the cartons are handed over to logistics partners for secure export, guaranteeing that every bag reaches its destination in perfect condition and upholds the premium quality and presentation expected by clients and end-users.     5.

The answer is yes if it’s a well-designed garment bag. This guide takes a closer look at this topic, offering practical tips for B2B garment buyers as well as regular travelers. Together let’s walks through airline rules and highlights the most important design features to think about.   1. A quick brief of Garment Bags   Modern garment bags: Early garment bags were more like basic cloth sleeves, but today’s travel products are far more than that. Modern garment bags can be foldable, soft-sided, or semi-hard-shell designs, the latter offering better protection. Some even add padded backpack straps or whisper-quiet skate wheels, the airport trek turns more into a glide.   2. Carry-on regulations   Airlines have clear rules regarding the size and weight of carry-on luggage to ensure that bags can be safely and efficiently stored in the overhead bins or under the seat in front. If the baggage exceeds these limits, travelers may be required to check it in. The following uses Delta Air Lines as an example to illustrate the specific regulations.  Delta Air Lines Carry-On Policy     Delta’s rule is straightforward: every passenger can board with one carry-on that fits the overhead compartment plus one personal item that slides under the seat in front of you. And the luggage size limit is 22 x 14 x 9 inches (56 x 35 x 23 cm), including all external parts such as wheels, handles, and straps.   3. The voice of travelers we heard   We believe that travelers’ feedback is always valuable and should serve as most important reference for product development and sourcing decisions. Success stories of soft-sided bags: Frequent business travelers consistently report that soft-sided bags — especially soft garment bags — offer the best experience. Even when packed with multiple suits, dresses, and accessories, these bags can be easily compressed to fit into overhead compartments. Convenience of foldable bags: Garment bags that can be folded into a compact rectangular shape are highly practical. They are particularly convenient for travelers with complex itineraries, as the bag can function both as a garment carrier and as a standard carry-on. Lessons from forced gate-checking: Cases of travelers being forced to check their bags serve as an important reminder. This is one of many insights we’ve learned from our customers. While premium travelers may occasionally receive exceptions, bag designs should minimize the risk of mandatory check-in. A user-centered design approach helps prevent these potential issues.   4. Features you need to consider for Airline-Friendly Garment Bags Design   To ensure market success and enhance users’ satisfaction, following features are what we strongly recommend when designing garment bags that comply with Airlines’ carry-on specifications. Flexibility is top first key: Soft-sided or foldable garment bags are more adaptable and easier to fit into overhead bins — an important advantage when flights are full.   Compact and Intelligent Folding Structure Adopt an efficient bi-fold or tri-fold design that prevents sharp creases on formalwear while staying strictly within carry-on size limits. Avoid overly rigid designs: While hard-shell or oversized bags may offer better protection, they are also more likely to be checked in. The checked baggage process provides less protection and can lead to unnecessary trouble.   Strategic Material Selection Choose lightweight and highly durable materials—such as high-density nylon—that are soft and compressible for easy cabin storage yet strong enough to offer reliable protection.   Ergonomic Carrying System Offer multiple carrying options, including a top handle, detachable shoulder strap, and even hidden backpack straps, to meet the needs of travelers of different heights, strengths.   Optimized Internal Organization Add smart parts such as grippy hanger loops that keep suits from sliding, airy shoe pockets that isolate odors, and see-through toiletry sleeves that glide through TSA--so “perfectly organized” is something travelers can actually feel..    Long-Lasting Strength Standards Reinforce-stitch all load-bearing seams, fit YKK or SBS zippers, stands up to endless flights and hotel hops without falling apart.   Style & Identity  Keep the silhouette clean and use fabric colors such as navy blue, jet black, charcoal gray. Add the logo with quiet luxury: a glint of foil, a blind emboss, or a micro-woven label so the bag whispers “executive” before you even open it. Remember aircraft difference: Delta Connection’s CRJ-900s and E-175s swallow far less overhead space than a wide-body A330. A garment bag that glides into an Airbus bin may be gate-checked on the regional leg—factor this into any multi-stop business itinerary. For clients commissioning a custom garment bag, nailing these finer points turns a simple utility piece into an unforgettable brand moment.   5. As garment bag OEM and ODM factory, 2025 Three Trends we see:   As an OEM/ODM factory that lives and breathes garment bags, we see three clear winners for 2025 private-label programs   1)Foldable Nylon Garment Bag The new-gen business traveler wants zero bulk and full carry-on compliance. We build this from 420D scratch-proof nylon with a tri-fold skeleton that collapses to brief-case height. Inside: padded suit sleeve, shirt divider, vented shoe tunnel, and a quick-scan toiletries flap. Outside: full-surface branding zone for company pattern, logos, or sublimated prints—perfect for executive gifting or bulk staff-issue kits.   2). Premium PU Leather Business Garment Bag Wrapped in elegant PU leather with a soft, anti-abrasion lining, this bag combines reinforced leather handles with a detachable shoulder strap for a refined look. Multiple compartments meet the needs of senior executives. Both colors and hardware can be fully customized to reflect a premium brand image.   3). Transit Hybrid Carry-On Garment Travel Bag The fastest-growing SKU is the shape-shifter, a versatile two-in-one design that easily transitions between a structured garment bag and a spacious travel duffel ---perfect for itineraries that blend formal and casual occasions. Ideal for VIP customers, or high-end incentive gifting programs.   6. Packing Tips for Travelers   Once your perfectly-designed garment bag is in hand, here are a handful of packing tricks that will make the journey noticeably smoother.   Hang suits freely Use the included garment sleeve to hang suits and dresses, ensuring clothes hang naturally and avoid wrinkles caused by pressure from other items.   Roll small items Soft items such as ties, belts, socks, and underwear can be tightly rolled to save space and prevent creases.   Position shoes carefully Place shoes in dedicated sealed compartments or shoe bags to avoid soiling clothes, and put them at the bottom of the bag to stabilize the overall structure.   Distribute weight evenly Balanced weight reduces stress on seams and improves carrying comfort, especially during long walks through large airports.   Make full use of storage pockets Keep jewelry, chargers, cables, and other small items in zippered compartments to prevent movement during travel and protect delicate clothing.   Establish pre-trip routines Try to pack the night before to reduce morning stress and allow ample time for careful organization.   Prepare for changing climates When traveling to regions with variable weather, add removable linings or moisture-proof compartments to accommodate raincoats or thicker outerwear. By combining thoughtful design with these packing methods, travel becomes much less-concerned.   7. FAQ for Garment Bag Customize    Q1: Since garment bags are flexible, do soft-sided designs allow travelers to exceed standard carry-on size? A: Delta gate agents have final discretion and may require oversized bags to be checked. To ensure compliance and customer satisfaction, bags should conform to the standard 22 x 14 x 9 inch dimensions.   Q2: What are the limits of branding customizations provided by Synberry Bag?   A: Our branding is 'fully customizable' meaning all elements of the bag are applicable for your branding. You can choose the type of logo application: embroidery, debossing and silkscreen printing. You can also choose custom colors for the fabric, hardware, and buckles. You can also design the bag with custom zippers, pulls and unique interior layouts.   Q3: Why are foldable bags generally better than rigid bags for travel by air from a practical perspective?  A: Carrying foldable bags is more practical because they are easier to compress and thus more suitable to irregular spaces in overhead bins, can be laid flat on top of other luggage more conveniently, and are generally more lightweight, which is a benefit for travelers trying to avoid excess luggage fees.    Q4: How can business customers take a more strategic approach to selecting the right profile of bags for their customers?  A: User profiling should drive the decision. For maximum versatility, the Hybrid Garment Duffel is the best choice for frequent multi-day travelers. Executives that need to make a stylish statement will appreciate the PU Leather option. For the general workforce or more affordable gifts, the Foldable Nylon bag is the best combination of function and value.     Q5: Is Synberry Bag able to accept requests for the use of more environmentally sustainable materials?   A: Yes! As one of the leading travel gear makers, we are proud to offer and meet the demands of customers on the use more eco-friendly materials, including RPET, bio-based PU leather, and other sustainable lined materials. All of these options will maintain the quality and performance of the gear.   Q6: What quality control measures does Synberry Bag implement to ensure product longevity? A: Each production batch goes through quality control inspections at multiple points. This entails checking stitch density and strength and performing zipper cycle tests, checking handles and strap load capacity, verifying skin material for color fading, checking water resistance, and ensuring every bag is fit to pass our standards for durable corporate use.     When Synberry collaborates with corporate clients to develop customized garment bags, multiple design elements are carefully considered, each precisely targeted at the end user and transformed into efficient, innovative, and practical solutions. As an experienced OEM and ODM manufacturer, we consistently exceed client expectations through function-driven design, convenient user experience, strict compliance with all Airlines carry-on standards, worry-free customization services, and outstanding industry insights.   Author

UV Photochromic Printing: a new printing option for bags UV photochromic printing is a special printing method which applies Sunlight or UV (ultraviolet) light properties to realize color change effect of printed matters.   Principle of Photochromic Color Change Ultraviolet light is invisible light in the violet range of the spectrum in the electromagnetic spectrum. The key point of UV photochromic printing is the application of special photochromic inks. Such inks include photochromic materials which have chemical reaction capabilities. Under the effect of the ultraviolet ray, the molecular structure of the photochromic matter in the ink varies so that a color change is achieved.   After printing photochromic ink, it needs to be coated with UV after printing, but the printing process is the same as that of ordinary ink. During the curing process, the ultraviolet light emitted by the UV lamp activates the photochromic substances in the ink, priming them for a color change. Once the printed material is later exposed to natural sunlight or a specific ultraviolet light source, the color-changing effect appears.    Because of photochromic color principle (the rate of discoloration will also change depending on the environment that the product is used.) Factors including light, application environment etc. may have a direct effect on life span depending on the product being used.   Application environment: Photochromic substances are easily oxidized by oxygen in the air. The photochromic material which has resistivity to the oxidation is effective to maintain the performance for a long time. Special processed or antioxidative type of photochromic ink has longer life than a regular ink. The life of the photochromic content is also influenced by temperature and humidity. Chemical reactions are accelerated by high temperatures and high humidity that cause the colouring of the photochromic materials to age. For example, the duration of stability of the photochromic materials may be shorter in humid tropical zones as compred to dry moderate zones.   Light Intensity: High intensity of ultraviolet light, the photochromic chemicals reaction speed is faster, the chemical process will more quickly, and aging of photochromic lens. For instance, when exposed to the natural sunlight, sometimes the service life of photochromic materials is very short. Their life span is relatively long since they are in the indoor environment with lower light intensity.   Usage Frequency: Usage frequency is the frequency with which the photochromic materials are actuated (ie, exposed to the ultraviolet or particular light source) in a given period of time. The photochromic materials are gradually damaged by the exposure of UV. Any single exposure results in some tiny alteration in molecular structure, and these miniscule changes add up over time and can be observed as deterioration in performance. The service life of photochromatic materials is extremely short at high frequency of use. One example of this is that a product which is used ten times per day with UV exposure, may have a photochromic life of a few months, while a product used once a day may last 1-2 years.   When this special principle of photosensitive color change is applied to photochromic printing technology, the application prospect is very broad. More directly, it introduces a new visual experience and surprises to bags, fashion and creativity and brings new visual effects to the product. For instance, patterns printed with UV photochromic inks on T-shirts, tote bags, backpacks, phone cases and other items can change their color under sunlight, which makes the product more fun and attractive. It is to be noted that the color switch effect is adjustable and difficult to be replicated by others, so it is very reliable to product anti-counterfeiting. As long as it continues to develop technologically, and becomes cheaper to use, it is just going to spread into more areas.   Special note at the end, it should be noted that this printing process has to be done in particular conditions e.g. not to be disturbed by natural light etc. Proper drying temperature and drying time can avoid damages of the photochromic substances during printing, which contributes to the effect of color change to be precise and stable. Similar premature aging of the photochromic substances can occur when the drying condition is such that the drying temperature is unduly high or the drying time is unduly long.     Author
