Shipping custom bags: express, air and sea freight explained

Freight is often the last thing buyers think about and the first thing that surprises them. Here is how it works for custom bags.

Samples travel by international express — fast, door to door, and the only realistic option for one or two bags.

Bulk orders travel by sea in almost every case. Packed non-woven bags compress well, so a 500-piece order may fit in just a few cartons — but freight is charged by volume as much as by weight, and bag cartons are bulky.

Air freight exists for urgent orders, but for heavy cotton canvas it is rarely economical.

We quote freight after your order details are confirmed — quantity, bag type and destination port or address. That is not stalling; a real number needs real volume.

Options on request: door-to-door delivery to many destinations, so you do not have to clear customs yourself.

Practical tip: if your schedule allows, sea freight is almost always the cheapest per bag. Send your destination with the inquiry and we will include a shipping estimate with the quote.
