Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order for custom golf bags?
200 pieces per style and colorway. Below that threshold you are buying sample-making, not manufacturing — this article explains the honest math of why.
How long does a custom golf bag order take?
Sampling 6–10 days; bulk 35–50 days after approval; sea freight 18–35 days by destination. Working backwards, allow 90 days from starting a program to bags in hand. The timeline article maps every stage with buffers.
How much do custom golf bags cost?
Sunday bags from ~USD 12–22 FOB, stand bags ~19–34, cart bags ~24–42, staff bags ~38–60, at typical program specs. Branding adds USD 0.30–3.20 per bag by technique. The pricing guide covers how these numbers move with quantity.
What quality standard do you inspect to?
AQL 2.5 for major defects and 4.0 for minor, on a sampling basis per lot, with a photographic inspection report before loading. See quality control.
What are payment terms?
T/T 30% deposit with order, 70% balance against shipping documents after inspection. Established programs move to more flexible terms.
Do you charge for samples?
Yes — sampling has real costs (materials, dye lots, line time). The fee is credited in full against your first bulk order. See the sample policy.
Can I order different bag types in one program?
Yes — mixed containers are standard: a 500-piece program might be 300 stand bags and 200 Sunday bags. Each style carries its own pricing; MOQ applies per style.
Can you match my brand colors?
Yes, via Pantone TCX lab dips approved by you before bulk dyeing, with thread, webbing and trims matched to the same references. See color matching.
Who handles shipping and customs?
We quote FOB Xiamen by default and can quote CIF or DDP to your port or door. DDP includes duties and clearance through our forwarder; the market guides cover per-country specifics.
What happens on reorders?
Your patterns, dye formulas, embroidery files and tech pack stay on file, so reorders run 60–90 days with no re-proofing and match season one. See reorder consistency.
