QUICK ANSWER
Two quotations described as polyester or PU can use different weights, coatings, textures, backing and performance levels. Request a clear material specification or approve a physical swatch before treating prices as directly comparable.

Construction affects labour
Panel count, piping, binding, internal dividers, padding, reinforcement, pockets, curved seams and difficult assembly steps add material and sewing time. A simple pouch and a structured organiser cannot be compared only by external size.
Components and branding change the unit cost
Zipper grade, custom pullers, buckles, webbing, metal finishes, embroidery, printing, embossing and logo plates each have their own cost and minimum requirements. Specify the intended finish before requesting a final price.
Quantity changes purchasing efficiency
Larger quantities spread setup, material purchasing, colour matching and tooling costs across more units. Colour splits or several logo versions can reduce that efficiency even when the total order quantity stays the same.
Packing and delivery complete the quotation
Individual polybags, paper sleeves, boxes, inserts, hangtags, barcodes and export cartons affect both unit cost and shipping volume. Compare quotations using the same Incoterm and the same confirmed specification.
