QUICK ANSWER
Do not compare prices from vague product photos alone. Send each supplier the same reference image, dimensions, material direction, logo method, quantity, packing and destination requirements. Comparable inputs make it easier to see whether a quotation includes the same construction and commercial scope.

Check product-category fit and development communication
Ask whether the supplier has experience with the relevant construction: cosmetic pouch, travel duffel, sports bag, backpack or EVA case. A useful reply should address materials, structure, logo route, sample process and any information still needed—not simply quote a low unit price.
Treat the sample as the main supplier check
Review a physical sample with realistic contents. Check size, material hand feel, zipper operation, stitching, logo position, pocket access, carrying comfort and individual packing. Record agreed changes in writing, then approve a final production reference before bulk manufacturing.
Confirm MOQ, timing and export terms early
Ask for the practical MOQ per design and colour, typical sample timing, bulk lead time after approval, payment stage, packing scope and FOB or EXW quotation basis. These details should be confirmed for the actual product route, because material, hardware and colour splits can change the production plan.
Use evidence that can be checked
Review the supplier's legal company name, contact details, factory or production information, product photos and documented communication. Only rely on certifications, capacity claims or test results that the supplier can provide and that apply to the planned order.
Prepare a concise RFQ before contacting suppliers
A strong first RFQ includes a reference image, target use, approximate size, material and colour direction, logo artwork, quantity, packing needs, destination and target delivery date. For more detail, use our custom bag RFQ guide, then explore cosmetic bags, travel bags, sports bags or EVA cases.
