I have contacts in China and Vietnam, but I'm keen to work with a more ethical manufacturing partner based closer to the UK for sustainability and supply chain reasons.\nI have a full product specification and a factory-level prototype ready to share.\nCould you tell me more about your product portfolio? Do you manufacture backpacks or other outdoor bags? The design is relatively straightforward rather than highly technical. Is this something you could produce? If not, would you be able to recommend another factory that could?\nSales will initially be in the UK with batch production runs, with plans to expand into the EU over time. MOQ 500-1000 with a target of 10,000 bags in year 3\nBefore sharing the design and specifications, I would require a signed NDA.\nI look forward to hearing from you.\nKind regards,\nAndrew",

To provide you with accurate information regarding your backpack project, I need to gather some specific details:\n\n1. **Brand**: Do you have an established brand? If so, please provide the name and website.\n2. **Location**: What is your country?\n3. **Product Category**: You've mentioned backpacks. Could you confirm if this is the only product you are looking to develop with us?\n4. **Tech Packs\/Samples**: You mentioned having a full product specification and a prototype. Do you have a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample that you can send us?\n5. **Quantities**: You've mentioned an MOQ of 500-1000. Could you specify the exact quantity per style you are looking to produce initially?\n6. **Target Price**: What is your target production price per style?\n\nRegarding your specific technical requirements and machinery, I cannot confirm this at my level. I have gathered your project details and will forward them to our technical team. They will analyze your requirements and confirm directly with you if our facilities have the exact capabilities to develop your product.\n\nAs for the NDA, we do not send or sign NDAs at this initial stage. We first need to confirm the other missing information. Once our team reviews what you intend to develop, we will proceed with sending the NDA.\n\nOnce I have these details, I can better assess your project and guide you on the next steps.\n\nLooking forward to your response.",

I have a sample I can send either picture of physically.\nQuantities: 500-1000 - 1x design in 1 colour way to start.\nTarget Price: UK RRP ?130-?160 pending quality\n\nI can share the name, spec and pictures once an NDA is signed... I'm sure you can understand having invested 2 years in design and testing today I can't just send it over\n\nAll the best\n\nAndrew\n\n\n________________________________",

Target Pricer:would For these volumes have had costs from China And Viet which range between $25-$40 landed in to the UK. Transport would be cheaper from Portugal... but I would want to target less that $50... but understand you will not be as low a $25\n\nI would like to establish your gauge costs to check this is possible.
