Pongee Fabric with Powder Coating for Backpacks
This pongee fabric is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The fabric construction is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the powder coating surface, the 140 gsm and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps backpacks consistent across seasons instead of drifting with whatever the mill happens to have in stock.
The usual reason buyers come to us is not price. It is lead time quoted without the plating or dyeing sub-process, or a zipper puller that broke under pull test at the warehouse. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
