One platform, nine configurations

Every product family on this page is a configuration of a single modular platform, not nine separate developments. The shared carrier holds the expensive and fit-sensitive decisions — back geometry, shoulder harness, load path — while the module layer changes with the use case. MOQ is 500 units per colourway, sampling takes 6-10 working days and bulk production runs 35-50 days.

Capacity bands are indicative planning ranges, not a stock list. The point of the table is the third column: what makes each family distinct is its structure, not its size.

Choosing a starting configuration

Start from the task, not the capacity. A field-service programme needs tool indexing and abrasion resistance, so it lands on a dense-grid carrier with an open tool module. A commuter programme needs a suspended laptop sleeve and a quiet exterior, which pushes toward a low-visibility shell with fewer external attachment points. Both can share the same module interface and the same material platform.

Selection rule: Start with one carrier and three modules; extend the module range only after the first season shows which modules actually sell, because every additional module carries its own MOQ, its own pattern work and its own test obligations.

Frequently asked questions

What product families are covered?

Modular backpacks, tactical backpacks in the civilian sense, MOLLE-compatible pouches and panels, convertible backpacks, modular EDC and sling systems, chest rigs and waist packs, travel systems, work and laptop carriers, and hiking systems. Each is a configuration of the same platform rather than a separate development.

What is the difference between a modular and a fixed-compartment bag?

A fixed-compartment bag optimises one layout and is usually cheaper to make. A modular platform costs more in hardware, pattern work and test obligations, but lets a brand extend the range without re-developing the carrier and lets a user replace one worn module instead of the whole bag.

Can pouches be bought without the carrier?

Yes, and most programmes plan for it. Replacement module orders are a separate line with their own MOQ, and the practical approach is to place them alongside the main order so they share the same material lot and colour reference.

How is capacity stated?

Capacity is measured, not inferred from outside dimensions. Two bags with identical external measurements can differ by a fifth in usable volume depending on how the lining, frame sheet and padding are built, so the number on the label has to come from a stated method.

Which materials are used?

Nylon and polyester in the 500D to 1680D range, ripstop and oxford weaves, PU, TPU and PVC coatings, spacer mesh, closed-cell and EVA foams, and recycled rPET where traceability documentation is available. Denier alone does not prove durability — fibre, weave, coating and test data do.

Are hardware brands specified?

Hardware is specified by performance and by family rather than by a single brand, because availability and lead time vary by season. Where a brand-specific component is required, the authorised source, authenticity and lead time are confirmed before the specification is signed.

What is the MOQ across a family?

500 units per colourway. Within a family, the carrier and the modules can be ordered in different quantities, but each colourway of each item carries its own minimum, so the mix is planned before costing rather than after.

How long from approval to delivery?

Bulk production runs 35-50 days after PP sample approval. Add 25-35 days for sea freight, 5-8 days for air or 3-5 days for express, and plan roughly 90 days from brief to landing for a programme with a fixed launch date.
