Collaboration Workflow
Here is a standard workflow on how to initiate and pursue a successful collaboration, with some useful tips & tools
1
Initial Contact & Introduction
Start with a personal Visio call where we take the time to understand your brand, vision, and project scope. During the call, we offer a live video tour of our factory, so you can see firsthand where your bags will come to life — transparency and trust from day one.
You can also pay us a visit directly at the factory. Anytime.
2
Confidentiality Assured
We respect your intellectual property and business confidentiality. Upon request, we’re happy to sign an NDA to ensure your designs and ideas remain secure throughout the entire process.
TIP: If you need one, we are happy to offer you to download our FFG Bags NDA template
3
Dedicated Merchandiser – Your Single Point of Contact
From your first inquiry to final shipment, you’ll work with one experienced merchandiser who speaks your language and keeps communication efficient, accurate, and stress-free. Think of them as your inside person — always on top of timelines, quality, and every detail in between.
4
Design Submission – Bring Your Idea to Life
To kick things off, simply share your tech pack and/or photos. Sending a physical sample is optional, but can be helpful. From there, we’ll translate your vision into production-ready specs.
TIP 1: If you need one, feel free to use our Techpack template.
TIP 2: In case of sending a product sample, look at our "Sample sending checklist doc" for a smooth and efficient shipment.
5
Sample Room Craftsmanship
Our in-house sample room brings your design to life, starting with pattern creation and, if needed, a paper mockup to fine-tune structure and dimensions. You’ll benefit from a team that has built prototypes for global brands and emerging designers alike.
6
Material Sourcing & Costing in Parallel
While our team sews your first sample, your merchandiser is hard at work sourcing the best-matching materials and calculating pricing that aligns with your budget and quality expectations — giving you speed without compromise.
7
Version 1 Sample – First Look at Your Product
The V1 sample is produced and shipped to you for hands-on evaluation. We also keep a copy in-house to ensure consistency. Alongside the sample, you’ll receive an initial quote, giving you a clear picture of cost and feasibility.
8
Feedback Loop – Collaborative Refinement
We make collaboration easy: share your feedback via email, phone, or video call. Whether it’s a small tweak or a big change, we’re committed to getting it right, together.
9
Version 2 Sample – Final Validation
We deliver your V2 sample, refined to your specifications and ready for production. We keep another internal copy to lock in quality standards. If needed, we’ll revise the quote to reflect any final changes.
10
Production with Confidence
Once approved, production begins. We welcome third-party QC audits at any stage, and our team upholds strict quality control throughout the process to ensure your products meet the highest standards.
11
Reliable Shipping – On Time, On Point
Once your products are ready, we manage the logistics to ensure a smooth, stress-free delivery process. FFG Bags offers a range of flexible shipping arrangements tailored to your business model and distribution strategy. Whether you prefer a full PO shipment delivered all at once or need more agile options like on-demand storage with smaller parcels shipped to different countries or fulfillment centers, we've got you covered. Our logistics network supports global distribution, allowing you to scale efficiently while keeping inventory flow under control. With FFG Bags, you get more than a manufacturer — you get a logistics partner that adapts to your needs.
