            "content": "Hello,\n\nWe are developing a toiletry bag for the European market and are at an early stage: the design is not fixed, and we would first like to understand what you are able to produce. Your input at this point is genuinely useful to us.\nWhat the product needs to be\n\n  *   Waterproof, not only water-repellent, and cleanable. We would like your view on what is realistic to claim.\n  *   Two versions of the same basic construction: one with a hook or hanger for hanging on a door or rail, one without.\n  *   A calm, minimal appearance. Few visible details, muted colours, matte rather than glossy finish.\n  *   Functional in use: holds its shape, opens wide enough to see the contents, does not fall over when placed on a shelf.\nWhat we would like to know\n\n  1.  Existing models. Which toiletry or wash bags do you already produce in waterproof, cleanable materials? A catalogue or model list with photos would be the most useful single thing you can send us.\n  2.  Materials. Which waterproof materials do you work with ? TPU-laminated nylon or polyester, TPU-coated fabric, or others? For each, can you tell us whether the finished bag would be wipe-clean only or machine washable, and what you would be willing to state to a consumer.\n  3.  Seam construction. Do you have high-frequency or ultrasonic welding capability, or do you produce sewn and seam-taped constructions only? This matters to us both for waterproofing and for the appearance, so please answer it specifically.\n  4.  Zips. Can you supply water-resistant zips (YKK Aquaguard or equivalent)? Are PVC-free materials available throughout?\n  5.  Hanging solutions. Which hooks, hangers or loops do you already have in production? We would rather use something you already make well than design a new one.\n  6.  Sizes. What are your standard sizes for this product type? We have not fixed dimensions and would prefer to start from something you already produce.\n  7.  Colour and finish. What custom colour options do you offer, and at what minimum quantity per colour? Can you supply matte finishes?\n  8.  OEM or ODM. Can you produce to our own design and drawings, or do you prefer that we select and modify one of your existing models? Both are acceptable to us ? we would like to know how you work best.\n  9.  Samples. Could you send physical samples of your two or three closest existing models? We are willing to pay for samples and shipping. Seeing and handling the material will move this forward faster than any specification.\n  10. Commercial basics. Indicative MOQ, indicative price range, sample lead time, production lead time, and which certificates you can provide with validity dates (REACH, OEKO-TEX, GRS if recycled content, BSCI or SMETA).\nWe are not asking for a formal quotation yet. A catalogue, an honest answer on seam construction, and a few samples is exactly what we need at this stage.\nIf you think a different material or construction would serve this product better than what we have described, please say so and explain why. We are early enough to change direction.\n\nKind regards\n\n\n\nMed v?nlig h?lsning\nJennie Book\n\nActus People AB ?

            "content": "Hello Jennie,\n\nThank you for reaching out to us with your project details. I understand that you are in the early stages of developing a toiletry bag and are looking for information on our capabilities. Let me address your inquiries:\n\n1. **Existing Models:** At this stage, we do not provide catalogues or model lists. Our focus is on custom manufacturing based on client specifications.\n\n2. **Materials:** We work with a variety of waterproof materials, including TPU-laminated fabrics. The cleanability and washability depend on the specific material and construction, which our technical team can advise on once we have more details.\n\n3. **Seam Construction:** Regarding specific technical questions like seam construction and welding capabilities, I cannot provide this information at this stage. These technical details will be answered in the next phase by our production team. For now, we need to focus on completing your commercial file.\n\n4. **Zips:** We can supply water-resistant zips, such as YKK Aquaguard, and offer PVC-free options.\n\n5. **Hanging Solutions:** We can discuss existing solutions once we have more details about your specific requirements.\n\n6. **Sizes:** We can produce custom sizes based on your needs. Standard sizes can be discussed further with our technical team.\n\n7. **Colour and Finish:** We offer custom colour options and matte finishes. The minimum quantity per colour will depend on the specific requirements.\n\n8. **OEM or ODM:** We can produce both to your design and modify existing models. Our team will work with you to determine the best approach.\n\n9. **Samples:** We can provide samples after our technical team reviews your project details. Please note that sample costs depend on the specific product and design complexity.\n\n10. **Commercial Basics:** Our minimum order quantities and pricing depend on the specific product details. We can provide more information once we have a complete understanding of your project.\n\nTo proceed, could you please provide the following details:\n\n- Do you have a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample for the toiletry bag?\n- What is your desired delivery date?\n- What is your maximum target production price per style?\n\nOnce we have this information, we can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps.\n\nThank you for considering us for your project.\n\nBest regards,\n\nMatilde Azevedo",

At this stage, we expect our \ninitial order volume to be below 100 units per color.\n\nThat said, we are still very interested in exploring the possibility of \nworking with you, especially if you are able to produce the type of product, \nquality, and design we are looking for. We would therefore be happy to \ncontinue the discussion and better understand your production capabilities, \neven if our initial volumes may be lower than your standard MOQ.\n\n\n\nIf there is any flexibility regarding MOQ for a first order, or another way \nwe could structure an initial production run, we would be very interested in \nhearing your suggestions.\n\n\n\nBest regards,\n\n\n\n\nMed v\u00e4nlig h\u00e4lsning\nJennie Book\n\nActus People AB \u2013 Optiker och Optikerassistenter vid behov\n\nTelefon 0709 88 03 44\n\n  info@actuspeople.se\n  jennie@actuspeople.se\n  www.actuspeople.se\n\n$$SYSTEM NOTE: The user provided general web links (www.actuspeople.se).
