What Are The Processes Involved in Making A Package?

There are various production processes for luggage, and currently manual processing is still the main method. A package needs to go through multiple processes from raw materials to finished products, including design, material selection, sampling, mold making, sewing, and other processes, ranging from 30 to 40 processes to 70 to 80 processes. Each process is interconnected, and if a problem occurs in one process, it will affect the quality of the entire package. Below, we will provide a detailed introduction to the production process of luggage.
1. Style design. The first process of making a bag is style design. Design is a discipline that requires attention to details such as material selection, color matching, and appearance design. At the same time, it is necessary to analyze the actual needs of customers in depth and detail.
2. Paper outlet. After determining the style, the master of the printing room will make the plate based on the designer's rendering. This process is called "paper grid", which means using paper grids as materials to design the shapes of the components, with detailed instructions for use marked on the top. To make a bag, you need to create a paper grid to make a sample bag.
3. Make sample bags. Once you have the paper grid, you can start making sample bags. Of course, whether the paper grid is standard determines whether the sample bag can achieve the original design intention. Generally speaking, there are two purposes for making sample bags. The first is to confirm whether there are any errors in the paper grid to prevent serious deviations in bulk production. The second purpose is to test the material and prototype to see if the actual effect matches the original design.
4. Material preparation and cutting. Once it is confirmed that there are no issues with the sample package, the factory will arrange a bulk production plan. At this point, it is necessary to purchase raw materials and make knife molds. Due to the fact that the purchased raw materials are all whole batches of rolled fabrics, a cutting mold needs to be cut and stacked separately.
5. Sewing forming. Sewing refers to the process of sewing a cut piece into the complete shape of a bag, which is the most critical and time-consuming process. However, strictly speaking, sewing is not just one process, it consists of multiple processes, including the front panel sewing, the middle apron sewing, the back panel sewing, the lining sewing, wearing shoulder straps, tying, and wrapping sewing. Sewing is the most critical process in making a bag.
6. Quality inspection packaging. Generally, during the packaging process, the entire package will undergo quality inspection, and non-conforming products will be returned to the previous process for rework. Qualified products shall be individually protected against dust and packed in full boxes according to the customer's requirements.
