CUSTOM DEVELOPMENT · PRIVATE LABEL · WHOLESALE
Turn a product idea, drawing or reference sample into a bag specification your team can approve.
Outdoorsbloom works with outdoor brands, importers, distributors and promotional buyers in Dongguan, China. Develop custom waterproof bags around the contents, access, carrying method and branding your market needs.
Existing model + logo: from 50 pieces · New OEM: from 100 pieces
01 / START WITH THE RIGHT SCOPE
These routes describe different starting points. Choose the scope by what is changing in the bag, rather than by the label alone. We confirm the proposed materials, development work and commercial terms for the selected project.
Keep an existing construction and discuss the branding, colour selection and retail presentation. Useful when you have selected a photographed model and want a private label waterproof bag range.
Send: product link, quantities by colour, artwork dimensions and packaging brief.
Starting MOQ: 50 pieces. Confirm the colour and artwork split in the quotation.
Start with your drawing, tech pack or physical sample. Identify the dimensions, materials and components that must be followed, together with details open to alternatives.
Send: revision-controlled drawings, material references, intended use and required sample checks.
New OEM starting MOQ: 100 pieces.
Start with a product direction or existing format and work through changes in shape, access, pockets and carrying arrangement. A reference photo helps communicate the idea; it does not define hidden construction.
Send: reference images, packed contents, target dimensions and the changes that matter most.
Sampling scope and MOQ depend on whether the final project uses an existing construction or new OEM development.
A logo change and a structural change are different scopes. A new window, opening, insulation system or strap layout needs a construction review. Discuss design ownership, confidentiality, exclusivity and any tooling arrangements separately before sharing restricted files or commissioning custom work.
02 / SELECT A PRODUCT DIRECTION
Choose a relevant collection to compare actual product references. Availability, materials and the development scope are confirmed for the selected style.
Define packed capacity, roll-top allowance, carry strap, pockets and print area for custom waterproof dry bags.

03 / DEFINE WHAT WILL BE MADE
A useful tech pack describes the assembled bag, not just a material name and a capacity. If a detail is undecided, mark it for review so the quotation states its assumptions.
| Specification area | Define in the brief | Review on the sample |
|---|---|---|
| Dimensions & usable space | Finished dimensions, measurement points, target contents, opening and any dimensional tolerances. | Fit with the intended contents, correctly closed. Litres alone do not describe the opening or usable shape. |
| Body material & finish | Material or supplier reference, coating or lamination, backing, thickness or weight, texture and colour. | Appearance, handling and compatibility with the proposed seams, closure and decoration. |
| Seams & panels | Panel layout, joint locations, reinforcement and the functions of load-bearing attachment areas. | Identified seam locations and separately agreed visual and functional checks. |
| Opening & closure | Roll-top, clip or zip arrangement; access frequency, opening size and intended water exposure. | Correct closure with the actual load. Confirm the selected component and finished compartment together. |
| Carrying & mounting | Handles, webbing widths, adjustment range, anchor positions, expected load and mounting geometry. | Carry fit, attachment operation and the agreed load or mounting review. |
| Pockets, windows & liners | Contents of each compartment, clear-window location, liner layout and any insulation layers. | Access, device or equipment clearance and interactions with seams and closures. |
| Branding & colours | Artwork file and revision, physical print size, colour reference, label and patch positions. | The actual shell colour and finish, print contrast and distance from a fold, seam or window. |
| Packing & assortment | Quantity by model and colour, accessories, individual pack, instructions, barcode and carton marks. | The complete supplied set and packing version rather than the bag alone. |
04 / FROM BRIEF TO PRODUCTION
The sequence below keeps the reference, quotation and approved sample aligned. The exact tasks and responsibilities are confirmed for your project.
Send the model link, drawing or sample, intended use, target contents and quantities. Separate essential requirements from optional ideas.
Decision to record: starting route, missing information and the scope to quote.
Work through panel geometry, opening, seams, straps and component interfaces. A changed window or pocket can affect the surrounding construction.
Decision to record: proposed materials, components, unresolved alternatives and evaluation requirements.
Confirm what the sample includes: shell colour, hardware, artwork, accessories and packaging. Identify any substitute component used only for an early prototype.
Decision to record: sample fee, timing, included work and the specification revision.
Measure the bag, load it, operate the closure and check artwork and packing. Return numbered photographs with one consolidated list of comments.
Decision to record: accepted details, requested changes and checks to repeat.
Agree the sample ID and final drawings, materials, colours, artwork and pack contents. Identify anything that differs from the earlier prototype.
Decision to record: approved revision and the order-specific inspection criteria.
Confirm the quantity split, production schedule, inspection arrangement, carton configuration and delivery terms in the quotation or order documents.
Decision to record: the production version, agreed checks and shipping responsibilities.
05 / MAKE APPROVAL MEASURABLE
Keep the sample ID, drawing revision and artwork version together. A prototype may answer a shape question while a later sample resolves the final material, hardware or retail pack. Identify the role of each sample in writing.
For a requested change, record what changes, why, the affected parts and whether a revised sample or evaluation is needed. An earlier approval should not silently cover a different material or closure.
Reorders: reference the approved specification and sample version again. Identify any proposed material, colour, hardware or artwork change before assuming the new order is identical to the previous one.
06 / QUALITY REQUIREMENTS
Water resistance, an airtight compartment, carrying strength and cooler temperature performance are different requirements. Specify the product, method, conditions and acceptance criterion that your buyer needs reviewed.
Identify the supplied material and component references. Mark seam and attachment locations so a photograph or observation can be connected to a particular specimen.
Seam review record →State the intended exposure, loading and closing sequence. A component description does not establish the performance of every finished bag using it.
Closure and lanyard record →Define the intended load, anchor points, strap arrangement and mounting interface. Agree the relevant review rather than relying on a photograph of a loaded bag.
Backpack carry-system checks →For OEM insulated cooler bags, define payload, cooling medium, start temperature, ambient conditions and opening schedule before comparing readings.
Cooler comparison record →Required testing and certification documents are reviewed for the exact model and requirement. Workshop photographs are production context, not test reports. Component guidance also has a defined scope: TIZIP’s SuperSeal technical information calls for checking suitability for the intended use; it does not certify an Outdoorsbloom bag or establish which zipper a quoted model uses.
07 / PLAN THE ORDER
| Order or development route | Starting terms | Confirm in your quotation |
|---|---|---|
| Existing model with your logo | MOQ from 50 pieces | Selected model, available colours, quantity split, artwork and pack contents. |
| New OEM development | MOQ from 100 pieces | Construction, material choices, component requirements and sample scope. |
| OEM sample development | Normally 10–15 days; typically US$15–500 | The style and materials determine the sample fee. Confirm included work and any revisions. |
| Regular bulk production | Normally 10–15 days | The specific order schedule and delivery conditions. Production timing does not state transit time. |
These are starting conditions, not a finished quotation for every colour and configuration. Send the destination and target arrival date so production and delivery can be discussed separately.
Material build, number of panels, joint layout, closure choice, insulation, lining and hardware affect the proposed scope.
Quantities by size and colour, artwork versions, print locations and individual pack requirements need to be visible in the order breakdown.
Sample work, revisions, custom parts, requested evaluations, carton configuration and delivery responsibilities should be identified separately.
Ask the quotation to list inclusions and open decisions. Discuss any special tooling, payment terms, sample-fee treatment or exclusivity explicitly; they are not implied by an OEM or ODM label.
08 / PREPARE A USEFUL ENQUIRY
A complete brief helps us distinguish a decoration request from a new development project. If you do not yet have a tech pack, send the reference and mark the unanswered points.
A plain-text worksheet with fields for your product, specification, quantities, branding, sample requirements and delivery brief. Fill it in and send it with your enquiry.

Read the waterproof bag RFQ guide →BUYER QUESTIONS
Yes. A reference photo, sketch or physical sample can start the discussion. Add the intended contents, dimensions and changes you need. Hidden details and unresolved requirements still need to be defined before a production specification is approved.
Use the existing-model route and send the product link, quantities, logo size and packaging needs. Starting MOQ is 50 pieces; confirm the selected colour and artwork configuration in the quotation.
Provide the supplier or component reference and the specification you require. Identify whether alternatives are acceptable. The proposed part must be reviewed with the surrounding seams, panels and closure layout.
Do not assume ownership, confidentiality, exclusivity, tooling rights or permitted use from the route name. Discuss and agree those arrangements for the project before commissioning restricted work.
Send a consolidated change list with the sample ID and marked photographs. Identify accepted details separately from requested changes. Confirm the work, timing and any fee for the revised scope, and record which checks need repeating.
Tell us the exact product, market and requirement. Available testing and certification documents are confirmed for the specific model and scope. A material name, workshop photograph or zipper description does not establish a rating for the complete bag.
Typical OEM sample fees range from US$15–500 depending on style and materials. Ask the quotation to identify the sample construction, decoration, packing, revisions and any separately charged work; a refund or credit is not assumed.
FROM REFERENCE TO APPROVED SPECIFICATION
Send the model, drawing or sample you want to develop. Our team will review the construction, branding, quantity and sample requirements with you.
Three model-to-brief examples show how to separate listed model information from the requirements you still need to approve. Include the selected construction, quantities, artwork and packing details in your enquiry.
