What this product is

Hand-feel gives away a cotton drawstring pouch faster than a logo ever will. The potential factory risk is cloth that comes in under the approved grams per square meter, plus a channel stitch so short that the cord walks out. Typical natural pouches open in an estimated band of about 0.4 to 0.95 dollars at 1,000 pieces, beside an indicative retail span of 3 to 6 dollars. Weigh the swatch, pull the drawstring until it stops, and tug the seam the way a packed item will. Dye lots shift if the pouch is not left natural, so a colored run needs an approved shade chip. Loose threads and a skewed print, if print is added, are the usual finishing complaints. Print or a woven label is customization on top of the blank natural body. A heavier canvas than the quoted cloth is a new price, not a trim change.

Why it is interesting

Natural cotton pouches are a soft-bag staple, so the work is hitting the swatch weight and a cord that stays in.
A label can brand the pouch without changing the cloth construction.

What to specify

Body: Natural cotton; GSM matched to the swatch
Closure: Drawstring in a stitched channel
Size: Flat width and height confirmed on the sample
Cord: Cord quality and stop tested by pulling
Mark: Optional label or print, quoted separately

Customization and private label

A woven label or a print sits on top of the natural body; a heavier cloth or a dyed lot is requoted against a shade chip.

Some customization is realistic on this kind of product. Private label packaging is often possible once artwork is approved. Read how private label manufacturing in China is handled, and when a new product needs the OEM/ODM path.

How the desk would source it

Note 1. Weigh the fabric and pull the cord out to its stop, because a short channel stitch shows up only then.
Note 2. Keep dye as a separate shade approval if the pouch will not stay natural.

The usual path is the same as other China factory sourcing: confirm the spec, compare factories, sample, then inspect before shipment. China supplier verification and China quality inspection are available. Goods can be received at the Xiamen warehouse and moved through China warehouse consolidation or sea, air, and express freight.
