Domestic purchase in China
For domestic delivery, confirm the invoicing and tax basis, packing, transport to the agreed location, unloading and installation. Keep these arrangements separate from an export quotation.

Plan your bag-making
machine investment.
Build a project budget around your bag range, equipment configuration, printing, delivery and factory preparation. A detailed brief makes quotations easier to compare.
Discuss your requirementsBuild a comparable quotation
Price the configuration you will actually use.
A nonwoven bag-making machine price depends on what the production line needs to do. A useful comparison identifies the machine model, material, bag dimensions, tooling, options and service scope before comparing totals.
Start with the bag designs you intend to produce at launch. Separate essential configurations from later expansion so your initial investment supports a defined product range. A quote for one feed format or bag style may not include the equipment needed for another.
Capital planning
What changes the equipment investment?
| Cost driver | Information to provide | What to clarify |
|---|---|---|
| Bag-making route | Roll-fed box bags, sheet-fed box bags, or vest bag configurations | Machine model and the exact production stages included. |
| Material and bag size | Material structure, g/m², feed dimensions, finished bag dimensions and handles | Compatibility, size combinations, tooling and any configuration changes. |
| Bag features | Required handles, punching, drawstring or other supported options | Which dies, accessories and optional functions are included. |
| Printing | Artwork, colours per side, print repeat, fabric and order sizes | Printing machine, plates or screens, cylinders, drying and material handling. |
| Installation and training | Country, site readiness, operator team and support needs | Attendance, duration, travel, accommodation and service responsibilities. |
| Supporting equipment | Material preparation, handling, inspection and packing plan | What is part of the machine supply and what needs a separate budget. |
Compare the same delivery basis
Keep equipment, export and destination costs visible.
Ask for the delivery basis and named location on every quotation. A machine price and the complete cost of getting a production line working at your site are different budget items.
Export quotation: FOB Ningbo
If you request an FOB Ningbo quotation, ask for the quoted equipment and configuration to be itemised, along with the packing, transport to the port and export-related scope included in that offer. Confirm the named port and the commercial terms in the quotation.
International and destination budget
Budget separately for international freight, any cargo insurance, destination port and handling charges, import duties and taxes, clearance, inland delivery, unloading and site work as applicable. Obtain estimates for your destination and shipment; the final quotation determines what is included.
Operating cost planning
Add the costs of running each bag design.
The equipment purchase is one part of the investment decision. Estimate material consumption, printing consumables, operators, power, routine maintenance, tooling replacement, packaging and waste for each main bag design.
Use the selected material layout to calculate fabric consumption. Include cutting and punching losses where they apply. For example, choosing an overlapping-edge A700 configuration may reduce edge-strip loss, but handle and bag-opening punching still create cut-outs.
Use a realistic production estimate when spreading shift costs across bags. Rated speed does not include every break, setup, changeover, unplanned stop or rejected bag.

A quotation brief that reduces missing items.
- Choose the bag structures and priority sizes; attach drawings or clear samples.
- Specify material type, coating or lamination, weight and roll or sheet format.
- Describe artwork, colours per side and whether printing will be in-house.
- Give the target bags per shift, shifts per day and expected number of changeovers.
- Share your country, destination, available power and site dimensions.
- State the delivery basis and installation or training support you want quoted.
Ask for a model-by-model equipment list, included options, excluded items, service scope and delivery terms. This makes competing proposals easier to assess against the same production requirement.
