Who we are

About Hongzhao: A Direct Custom Bag Factory Since 2012

Shenzhen Hongzhao Handbag Co., Ltd. company sign with the HZ logo at the factory reception.

Shenzhen Hongzhao Handbag Co., Ltd.

Hongzhao is a direct bag manufacturer in Shenzhen, not a trading company. Led by founder Bowolf Zeng, we work as an OEM and ODM partner for private-label brands and distributors, developing outdoor, sports and functional bags from a tech pack, a reference sample or a sketch. Most of our buyers are based in Europe and North America.

  • One team from sample to shipment. Sampling, cutting, sewing, logo work, QC and packing are done in one factory, so approved details stay in the bulk order.
  • Built for first orders. Trial runs and mid-size custom orders start from 50 pcs per style and color.
  • Clear material choices. Fabric, zipper, buckle and webbing options that change the price are explained before sample approval.
  • Ready for compliance review. The SMETA report is available to sourcing teams, and an NDA can be signed before designs are shared.

FAQ

Custom Bag FAQ: Sample Fees, MOQ, Logo Costs and Lead Time

What does the sample fee include?

Every quote itemizes the sample, any logo plate or mold fee, and shipping, so you can see what is included before you pay. The fee depends on the bag's construction and materials. The sample fee and logo setup fee are refunded when your first bulk order reaches 500 pcs.

Can you start without a tech pack?

Yes. Send a sketch, photo or reference sample. We list what is missing and confirm a spec drawing with you before sampling.

How is your MOQ counted?

50 pcs per style and color. Smaller quantities are handled as a sample order and quoted separately.

Will logo setup fees be charged twice?

No. Logo plate or mold fees are charged once at sampling and are not charged again for bulk orders.

How long do samples and bulk orders take?

Samples take 5–7 days after specs are confirmed. Bulk production takes 20–25 days after sample approval and deposit.

Will you sign an NDA?

Yes. We sign an NDA before you share your design, and all production is done in our own factory.
