For Importers
The Ordering Process, Step by Step
A first import can feel opaque. Here is exactly what happens between your first enquiry and the container leaving an Indian port — including what we need from you at each stage and how long each step takes.
- 1
Enquiry & quotation
Day 0–2Send your requirement — bag format, dimensions, GSM, ply, print colors, and quantity — through the quote form, email, or WhatsApp. We reply within 24 hours on business days with a detailed quotation: per-unit FOB price, MOQ confirmation, production lead time, and packing details (units per carton, cartons per container).
- 2
Sampling
5–7 business daysBefore any bulk order, we send physical samples — either from existing stock matching your spec, or custom pre-production samples in your size and material. Sample costs are nominal and credited against your bulk order. For printed bags, digital print proofs are approved before sampling.

Artwork & print proofing
Parallel to samplingFor custom printed bags, your team shares artwork (vector formats preferred — AI, EPS, or high-resolution PDF). Our pre-press team prepares a print layout with Pantone references and sends it for your written approval. Nothing prints until you sign off.

Order confirmation & advance
Day 0 of production clockYou confirm the order against the final quotation and pay the advance — typically 50% by wire transfer (TT), with the balance before shipment. Letter of Credit terms are available for qualifying orders. The production slot is booked on receipt of advance.

Production
15–25 business daysYour order runs at our Valsad units on automated bag-making lines with inline flexographic printing. In-process checks cover print registration, GSM verification, handle bond strength, and dimensional accuracy throughout the run.
- 6
Quality control & packing
Final 2–3 daysFinished bags pass final inspection — visual checks, load tests, and count verification — then pack into export cartons on pallets or floor-loaded per your preference. We share packing photos and, on request, arrange third-party pre-shipment inspection at your cost.

Shipment handoff
Per vessel scheduleOn balance payment, cargo moves to the port (typically Nhava Sheva or Mundra) and loads per the agreed Incoterms — FOB is standard. We coordinate with your freight forwarder, complete export customs clearance, and courier the document set: invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and bill of lading.
Repeat orders are faster
Once your specification and artwork are approved, repeat orders skip sampling and proofing entirely — confirmation to shipment typically runs 3–4 weeks. Recurring buyers can reserve production capacity on a monthly or quarterly schedule.
