If you are planning to manufacture bags, you must know about the price of material . But how much does material cost in bulk? From big catagories , we can know the main material is PU leather , Nylon and Genuine leather . Today we talk about the most pouplar 2 material ,  PU leather and Nylon . The price range will also help you recognize the  quality . There are different types of nylon and PU.

The cost of  nylon and leather varies from $3 to $ 9 per square yards, and the Top nylon and PU is in the range of $19 to $27 per square yards , like Ballistic nylon ,Cordura and super fiber leather.

The price of the nylon can also differ depending on the coating process and eco friendly manufacturing. All of these play a role in quality control.

Cost Of Different Types Of Leather

Several  types of PU leather are available. They come in different forms and textures. And the price of these leather also varies depending on those factors.

Super Fiber Leather

The performance of Super fiber leather is excellent, approaching that of natural leather. It has the characteristics of wear resistance, cold resistance, breathability, and aging resistance, and its mechanical properties are superior to ordinary leather

1.

The fiber fineness of super fiber leather can reach one tenth of ordinary fibers, which makes its physical properties far superior to other fiber materials and provides a particularly comfortable touch

2.

In addition, super fiber leather performs better in terms of wear resistance, acid and alkali resistance, hydrolysis resistance, moisture absorption, and comfort, with significant improvements in color fastness and texture

3.

Secondly, the production process of super fiber leather is environmentally friendly and eco-friendly. Due to its production process not requiring animal slaughter, it meets the modern society's demand for environmental protection and reduces its impact on the environment

4.

This environmentally friendly production method makes microfiber leather very popular among consumers pursuing a sustainable lifestyle.

5.

Finally, the production process of super fiber leather is complex and costly. Super fiber leather is made by combining high-performance polyurethane resin with ultra-fine fiber base fabric. The selection of base material and manufacturing process have a decisive impact on the performance of the final product

Despite its high production cost, super fiber leather has a significant price advantage in the market due to its lower cost while maintaining similar performance . 

Despite its high production cost, super fiber leather has a significant price advantage in the market due to its lower cost while maintaining similar performance .

Price Range

The super fiber leather price range starts from $7 to $13, depending on the thickness and coating. The table shows the price points in bulk order:

GRS RECYCLED LEATHER

The production process of recycled leather is relatively complex and requires additional investment in technology and equipment. The process of recycling and processing waste leather raw materials requires special equipment and techniques, which increases production costs

Environmental standards and certification costs: Recycled leather needs to comply with environmental standards and certifications.

Market demand and supply relationship: Although recycled leather is environmentally friendly and sustainable, its market demand is relatively smaller than traditional market .

Raw material cost: Recycled leather usually uses recycled fiber materials, which have high production and processing costs, leading to an increase in the price of the final product

The definition and importance of GRS certification: GRS (Global Recycled Standard) certification is an international standard aimed at verifying the content of recycled materials in products and the environmental friendliness of their production processes. This certification is managed by Textile Exchange and is applicable to industries such as textiles, clothing, and footwear, ensuring that products meet environmental and social responsibility requirements

By obtaining GRS certification, the product has the opportunity to be included in the international buyer's procurement list, enhance market competitiveness, and establish the company's environmental image.

Nylon

RPET NYLON

RPET nylon fabric (recycled nylon fabric) has the following characteristics:

Environmental friendliness: RPET nylon fabric is made by recycling waste plastic bottles (such as PET bottles) and clothing, reducing the use of new raw materials, environmental pollution, and resource waste, in line with the concept of sustainable development

Superior performance: RPET nylon fabric is close to native nylon material in terms of performance, with good wear resistance, heat resistance, oil resistance, chemical resistance, as well as excellent dimensional stability and mechanical strength

In addition, RPET nylon fabric has low water absorption and shrinkage rates, and has good dimensional stability

Multifunctionality: This fabric has the characteristics of fast sweat wicking, anti mold and antibacterial properties, wrinkle and wrinkle resistance, easy washing and drying, and is suitable for various fields such as sportswear, outdoor equipment, swimwear, etc

It is sturdy, durable, wrinkle resistant, wrinkle free, non deformable, highly thermoplastic, not afraid of mold and insect infestation, and suitable for long-term use

Comfort: RPET nylon fabric has a soft touch and is comfortable to wear, which can enhance the wearing experience

It has high fiber softness and the characteristic of being skin friendly and comfortable.

CORDURA NYLON

Wear resistance and tear resistance: CORDURA fabric has been specially treated to have super strong wear resistance and tear resistance. It can withstand long-term use and friction without damage, and can withstand large tensile forces without easily breaking.

Lightweight design: Although CORDURA fabric has excellent wear and tear resistance, it does not increase the weight of the product. Compared to other materials, CORDURA fabric is lightweight, soft, and easy to process, allowing for the creation of lightweight designed products that provide a more comfortable wearing experience.

Waterproof performance: CORDURA fabrics are usually treated with special waterproofing to have excellent waterproof performance. Even if used for a long time in a humid environment, it can effectively block moisture infiltration and maintain its drying performance.

Easy to clean and maintain: CORDURA fabric is easy to clean and maintain, simply wipe with water or gently wash to remove surface dirt and stains, keeping the product clean and in good condition.

Strong dirt resistance: CORDURA fabric surface treatment is not easily contaminated with dust and dirt, and is easy to remove stains, making it very suitable for environments that require long-term use.

High temperature resistance: The surface stitching of CORDURA fabric is smooth, uniform and tight, with good high temperature resistance, not easy to leave dust, good color fastness, and can maintain the original appearance and performance of the product in high temperature environments

.

Multifunctionality: CORDURA fabrics come in various types and thicknesses, suitable for different fields such as outdoor sports, military equipment, motorcycle protective clothing, luggage, etc. This fabric has become the preferred choice for various high-strength applications due to its durability and versatility.

Most of business style bags brand are like use cordura nylon as their main material .

Additional Cost

When you intend to buy material in bulk, you look forward to manufacturing bags. Therefore, each purchase will require many more costs. These costs will also vary depending on the material you are buying.

Shipment Cost

Some best quality leather is found in China, India, and Vietnam.

If you plan to buy natural leather, India is the best choice. Nylon and PU leather , China is the best choice , because from the raw material to finished material , we have a mature supply chain.  the shipment cost will start from $25-$1000.

Preservation

No matter PU or genuine leather are needs proper preservation under temperature control.

Nylon are easy preservation and durable than leather.

Final Words

The quality of bags mainly depends on the material used. As a manufacturer, you need to understand how much does material cost in bulk. This will help you to decide the price of the final product and help customers choose the prefect material to their designs . Also, the prices mentioned here are not rigid. The price will vary considering the texture, preservation, and quality control.
