How do I get a quote for custom bags at a specific quantity?

What a quote needs

A bag quote is only as firm as the details behind it. Have these ready before you start:

• Quantity. Prices are per unit and get lower at higher quantities. A quote for 250 bags will not match a quote for 500, so use your real number.
• Product and color. Totes, backpacks, duffels and drawstring bags all price differently.
• Imprint method and colors. Screen print, embroidery and other methods have different setup charges. Screen print and pad print usually charge setup per color, so fewer logo colors can lower the total.
• In-hands date. This is the date you need the bags delivered, not the date they ship.

Ask for the quote on the product page

Every product page shows its own minimum order, price tiers, setup and pricing details, and production time. Use those live figures instead of guessing from a similar bag. When you create an estimate from the product page, you get a PDF by email and a copy in your account. Pricing is locked for 30 days.

If you want a quantity above what is listed, or a custom imprint method, request a quote and an account rep will help. If you cannot find the bag you picture, the sourcing team can look for it. Tell them what you need, the quantity, your in-hands date, imprint colors and an all-in budget per unit.

Answering "can I have them by a certain date?"

A price and a date are two separate questions, and both matter. Production time counts business days and starts once the proof is approved and the order is paid. Shipping time is extra. Most imprint methods take 7 to 10 business days at standard speed, and embroidery takes 10 to 14. Rush is typically 3 to 5 business days and may add a surcharge.

To check a date, work backward from your in-hands date:

1. Subtract shipping transit, typically 1 to 7 business days depending on distance.
2. Subtract production time for your imprint method.
3. Leave time for proof approval and payment.
4. Add a one-day buffer.

Dates are estimates, not guarantees. If your deadline is tight, tell your rep when you ask for the quote so they can confirm what is possible.

Mistakes to avoid

• Quoting a round number, then ordering a different quantity.
• Leaving out the deadline until after you approve the proof.
• Sending a low-resolution logo. Vector files such as AI, EPS, SVG or PDF are preferred, and the design team can redraw a logo for free.
• Forgetting that shipping and sales tax are calculated at checkout.

A quote is free, so compare two or three bag styles at your quantity before you decide.
