Lining: 210T polyester lining or 190T pongee, high-end models use velvet lining to protect laptops
Zippers: YKK size 5 or 8 are standard, high-end models use YKK waterproof zippers
Hardware: mostly matte black or gun-color hardware accessories to enhance business aesthetics

1.3 Core Production Processes

Heat-pressed back panel: Use EVA or PE board heat-pressed molding to provide rigid shape and back support
Laptop compartment protection: Independent compartment uses 8-15mm thick EPE pearl cotton or velvet, passes drop test
Reinforced stitching: Stress points use triple back-stitch or X-shaped reinforcement to ensure 30-50kg load-bearing
USB charging port: Reserved internal wire channel, external opening needs waterproof treatment

1.4 Cost Factors

Material cost difference between genuine leather and high-end PU can reach 3-5 times
YKK zippers cost 40-60% more than ordinary zippers, but failure rate is 10 times lower
Thickness and quality of shockproof material in laptop compartment directly affects protection performance
Hardware plating process (ordinary vs vacuum plating) affects corrosion resistance

1.5 Procurement Suggestions

For corporate group purchase clients, it is recommended to provide customized logo embroidery or heat-stamp services. Laptop compartment protection performance is the core selling point, and factories should be required to provide drop test reports (1.2m drop, no damage to computer).

Summary: How to See B-End Product Layout Logic from “Backpack Type”

From the B-end perspective, the backpack industry is not a single low-threshold category, but is composed of multiple sub-tracks: volume-driven, design-driven, and technical function-driven. The differences in material selection, production processes, and cost structures of different backpack types directly determine their suitable market positioning and cooperation models.
For purchasers and brand owners, rather than pursuing “complete product line”, it is better to prioritize identifying which categories truly match their own channels, customer groups, and supply chain capabilities. Technical backpacks test factories’ R&D and testing capabilities more, while fast-moving consumer backpacks rely more on flexible production and rapid iteration capabilities.
Only by conducting product planning based on full understanding of various backpack manufacturing logics can we establish more stable and long-term valuable B-end cooperation relationships beyond price competition.
