PU Leather Travel Makeup Bag | Custom Logo | 50 MOQ | Double Zipper

Q: What is your standard AQL defect tolerance level for bulk shipment acceptance — AQL 1.5, 2.5, or 4.0?

A: The factory applies ANSI/ASQC Z1.4 standard sampling with AQL 2.5 for major defects (stitching misalignment beyond ±2mm, zipper function hesitation, color variation, surface imperfection) and AQL 1.5 for critical defects (structural failure, zipper failure, seam separation). Critical defects are subject to a zero-tolerance policy — any unit failing the zipper function test or showing structural failure is rejected. The QC protocol includes 100% visual inspection for stitching alignment, zipper function, and surface defects. Random sampling is conducted for dimensional verification and zipper 50-cycle testing. Pre-shipment inspection includes packaging integrity and component verification. Defect tolerance is verified before shipment approval.

Q: Do you provide pre-shipment inspection reports with third-party QC sign-off, and what is the cost?

A: We provide a pre-shipment inspection report for every order exceeding 300 units at no additional charge. The report includes: visual inspection results, zipper function test results (50-cycle), dimensional verification data, color consistency verification, and packaging integrity assessment. For third-party inspection sign-off, we can coordinate with SGS, Bureau Veritas, or Intertek at the buyer's request. Third-party inspection costs range from $200-$450 depending on the inspection scope and location, with a 2-3 day processing time. These costs are billed directly by the inspection agency or added to the order invoice. We recommend third-party inspection for institutional procurement orders exceeding 1,000 units.

Q: What payment terms do you offer — T/T deposit percentage, balance trigger point, and accepted payment methods?

A: Standard terms are 50% deposit to initiate production, with the remaining 50% balance due before shipping. This applies to all customization types (logo, color, size). For orders exceeding 500 units or for corporate accounts with documented order history, we offer 30% deposit, 30% at 50% production completion (verified via production photos), and 40% before shipping. Accepted payment methods include PayPal (for sample orders and smaller transactions), T/T wire transfer (standard for bulk orders), and Alibaba Trade Assurance (for buyer protection on qualifying orders). Payment terms are confirmed in the quotation based on total order value and client account status.

Q: What is the realistic production lead time from artwork approval to ready-to-ship, not the marketing headline figure?

A: The standard lead time of 25 days for the 3-300 piece tier includes: 3-5 days for material cutting and preparation, 10-12 days for stitching and assembly, 5-7 days for decoration application (logo printing or embossing), and 3-5 days for packaging and final QC. For custom logo orders, add 5-7 days for artwork approval and screen/plate production. For custom color orders, add 5-7 days for color matching and sample approval. For custom size orders, add 5-7 days for pattern adjustment and sample approval. Total production lead time from order confirmation and deposit: approximately 25-30 business days for custom logo orders; 30-35 business days for custom color and size orders. Sample orders (1-2 pieces) ship in 7 days.

Q: How does the PU leather bag compare to genuine leather cosmetic bags for corporate gift programs?

A: The PU leather bag offers a leather-like appearance at approximately 40-60% lower cost than genuine leather alternatives — making it accessible for corporate gift programs with budget constraints. The PU material is waterproof and easy to maintain, requiring less care than genuine leather (which requires conditioning and can be damaged by water or spills). The quilted texture provides a premium visual quality that competes well with genuine leather. The double zipper system and soft handle provide the same functionality as genuine leather alternatives. For corporate gift programs where perceived quality is important but budget is a constraint, PU leather is recommended. For programs where the material composition is a key consideration (e.g., sustainability or vegan requirements), PU leather is a suitable alternative to genuine leather.

Q: What are the reorder lead times and documentation requirements for repeat orders with the same specifications?

A: Reorder lead times are reduced by 5-7 business days for custom logo orders, as the silk screens or embossing dies are already established. For the 3-300 piece tier, the 25-day lead time shortens to approximately 18-20 business days. For the 301-500 piece tier, the 30-day lead time shortens to approximately 23-25 business days. Color consistency is maintained using the same pigment formulations from the initial order — the PU material color matching uses the same formula. For reorders, documentation requirements are reduced — the factory references the original order number. Reorder pricing can be locked in for quarterly orders through a supply agreement.

Q: What is the difference between the 3-6L capacity range for travel toiletry organization?

A: The 3-6L capacity range accommodates 3-7 days of toiletry storage depending on the user's travel needs. The 3L capacity (approximately 0.79 gallons) is suitable for 3-4 day trips — accommodating a small toiletry kit with travel-size bottles. The 6L capacity (approximately 1.59 gallons) is suitable for 5-7 day trips — accommodating full-size toiletry bottles and additional beauty products. The bag dimensions are designed to fit in carry-on luggage and under airline seats. For corporate gift programs, the 3-4L size is recommended for general use; the 5-6L size is recommended for premium travel programs.
