Ocean Luggage is a premier contract manufacturer specializing in high-performance bags, travel gear, and lifestyle luggage. Our end-to-end services include:
- Custom OEM Production: Full-scale contract manufacturing based strictly on your 2D/3D tech packs, bill of materials (BOM), and exact technical specifications.
- ODM Design & Development: Pre-engineered, market-tested bag models and silhouette catalogs ready for private labeling and functional modifications.
- Rapid Prototyping & Sampling: In-house physical sample crafting with dedicated pattern-makers and material sourcing specialists.
- Quality Assurance & Testing: Rigorous inline QC, tensile drop testing, zipper endurance checks, and final pre-shipment inspections.
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing): You provide the exact product design, tech drawings, dimensions, and styling requirements. We act as your dedicated production partner, engineering the patterns and manufacturing the goods exclusively for your brand.
ODM (Original Design Manufacturing): If you do not have in-house product design files, you can choose from our extensive catalog of proven bag frameworks. We then customize fabrics, colorways, hardware, compartments, and custom logo branding to launch your product line rapidly with minimal upfront design overhead.

Our standard production MOQs are structured to accommodate both emerging specialty brands and high-volume retail enterprises:
- Custom OEM Production: Typically 300 to 500 units per style/colorway depending on fabric complexity and custom dye lots.
- ODM Catalog Models: 100 to 300 units utilizing in-stock specialty textiles and standard hardware trims.
- Corporate Gifting & Volume Programs: Flexible tiers starting from 100 units with custom debossed or embroidered branding.
For multi-colorway releases or established brand commitments, we offer blended MOQ structures across SKU families.
Sample development is an essential milestone in our manufacturing workflow. Before any fabric roll is cut for bulk production:
- Design Review: Our engineering team analyzes your tech pack, CAD files, or reference samples to confirm pattern geometry and BOM feasibility.
- Sample Crafting: Master pattern-makers build a full-scale prototype using designated fabrics, zippers, and custom branding elements.
- Turnaround Time: Initial physical prototypes are completed within 7 to 12 business days and dispatched via DHL/FedEx for your evaluation.
- Sample Fee Policy: The nominal sampling fee is 100% credited toward your bulk manufacturing invoice upon formal order placement.
