How to Get a Quote for Mesh and PP Woven Bags
To request a quote for mesh or PP woven bags, start with photos of your current bag, its dimensions and its empty weight, together with your order quantity and destination. These details usually help the factory define what it is pricing more clearly than a description such as “bags for 50 kg.”
Each detail contributes something different. You do not need to know every technical term or have a complete specification before asking. Send the information you have, and identify anything that still needs discussion.
Photos: show the bag and visible material details
Send a full-bag photo plus close-ups of the opening, fabric and bottom seam. For a drawstring bag, photograph the drawstring at the bag opening. For a printed bag, show the printed area and its position.
Clear photos help the factory make an initial assessment of the bag’s appearance, workmanship and material characteristics. The images can show the mesh or woven structure, weaving uniformity and visible finishing details. These details can be difficult to explain in an email, particularly when you want a bag similar to the one you already use.
Dimensions: affect fit, material use and stacking
Bags intended for the same 50 kg contents weight can have different dimensions. The packed product, bag construction and closing space affect which dimensions work for your operation. Providing only the contents weight leaves those choices open.
Dimensions also influence the filled bag’s shape. That shape affects how bags sit together when stacked, loaded onto a vehicle or arranged on a pallet. If you want to preserve an existing loading arrangement, share the current dimensions and a filled-bag photo, and explain your pallet or vehicle-loading requirements. Check the proposed bag with your actual product and handling process.
Different sizes can also require different amounts of material, affecting cost. Agree how the bag will be measured before comparing dimensions; for mesh bags, see our measurement guide. Dimensions alone do not establish safe load or guarantee a particular loading arrangement.
Empty bag weight: helps explain the product and cost
Empty bag weight is the weight of one finished bag, normally expressed in grams per bag. It differs from the kilograms of product inside the bag and from fabric weight in GSM.
Even at the same dimensions, bags may have different empty weights because their construction and components differ. The weight helps the factory understand material use and prepare a more comparable quotation. Confirm what is included, such as a drawstring, liner or coating where applicable.
Weight is one cost factor alongside material, construction, printing, finishing, quantity and other requirements. A heavier bag is not automatically better, and weight alone does not determine quality, safe load or price. Our bag weight guide explains the terms in more detail.
If you do not know the dimensions or weight
Send your photos first and mark missing details as unknown. Ask the factory how to measure your particular bag if you are unsure.
To check empty weight, use a clean, dry bag without contents. If one bag is too light for your scale, weigh several identical empty bags together and divide by the number of bags. Record the method and included components. If weighing is not possible, discuss providing a physical sample.

- Photos: whole bag, opening, fabric, bottom seam and printing
- Dimensions, units and measurement method, if known
- Empty bag weight in grams, if known
- Product to pack and intended contents weight
- Quantity, destination and any changes from the current bag
