250,000 units a month, quoted against a live capacity board rather than a theoretical ceiling. When we give you a lead time, it is the one the board shows.

Materials library

What we can build from.

Eight input families, each with a real specification. If something is not on this list, it is almost certainly still possible — we source a great deal outside it.

Polyester

Virgin & recycled yarn

210–340 g/m² woven and coated polyester from Tiruppur and Erode mills. India's default bag input at 39.6% of material mix.

Nylon

210D – 1680D

Ripstop, cordura and ballistic weaves, silicone and PU coated. Abrasion-tested for luggage and export programs.

Cotton Canvas

8oz – 16oz

3/1 twill, piece-dyed and washed. Softens with use, and the only fabric we piece-dye to a Pantone.

Non-woven PP

60 – 120 GSM

Spunbond and laminate for promotional, event and short-life programmes where unit cost governs.

Foam & Padding

EVA, PU, PE foam

Moulded EVA back panels, closed-cell cushioning and high-density PU. Contoured in-house for spinal load distribution.

Hardware

Buckles, D-rings, rivets

YKK-equivalent zippers, alloy buckles, D-rings, eyelets and rivets from Ludhiana and Jalandhar, in four standard finishes.

Webbing & Thread

20 – 38 mm

Polyester webbing from 20 to 38 mm, Tex 40–70 thread, bonded nylon for load points, bartack reinforcement as standard.

Compliance

Design room

Where the tech pack is born.

Four industrial designers and six pattern makers, in Okhla, New Delhi. They produce a graded size sheet, a stitch map, a bill of materials and a CAD nesting layout for every order — and the tech pack is yours to keep.

  • Graded size sheet with stated tolerances
  • Bill of materials — GSM, denier, hardware spec
  • Stitch map and branding placement sheet
  • CAD nesting layout, 88% average marker efficiency
