Fabric Options
PVC High-Density Mesh Fabric (Polyester or Nylon Fabric)
Durable and abrasion-resistant, PVC high-density mesh fabric is widely used in soft coolers, backpack coolers, and water buckets. Its laminated structure adds strength and waterproof performance, while the dense weave enhances tear resistance—ideal for outdoor products that require ruggedness and flexibility under heavy load.
TPU High-Density Mesh Fabric (Polyester or Nylon Fabric)
TPU high-density mesh fabric combines high elasticity, puncture resistance, and waterproofing. It is used in high-end soft coolers, dry bags, and foldable water buckets. Compared to PVC, TPU offers better cold resistance and environmental friendliness, making it perfect for premium outdoor gear requiring flexible yet strong materials.
TPU Nylon Composite Fabric
TPU nylon composite fabric is lightweight, highly durable, and stretch-resistant. It's commonly used in backpack coolers, dry bags, and advanced storage bags. The TPU coating provides superior waterproofing and long-term outdoor protection, while the nylon base enhances flexibility, making it ideal for foldable and compression-based storage gear.
Oxford Fabric
Oxford fabric is a versatile woven material favored for storage bags, cooler bags, and folding racks. It offers good wear resistance, breathability, and can be treated for water repellency. Often laminated with PE or PU backing, Oxford is a cost-effective and reliable option for foldable or soft-sided outdoor storage solutions.
Polyester Fabric
Polyester fabric is widely used across storage bags, cooler bags, and folding boxes for its strength, UV resistance, and dimensional stability. It's lightweight and easy to clean, making it suitable for general-purpose outdoor storage applications. The fabric can be laminated or coated to improve waterproofing as needed.
Nylon Fabric
Known for its superior tear strength and smooth texture, nylon fabric is used in high-performance dry bags, cooler bags, and folding racks. Compared to polyester, nylon is more elastic and resistant to abrasion, which suits gear exposed to rugged terrain and frequent handling. It’s also ideal for TPU composite laminations.
Mesh Fabric
Mesh fabric is breathable and stretchable, used in cooler bags and backpack cooler side pockets to hold bottles or small accessories. It helps with airflow and quick drying, making it useful in areas needing ventilation or flexibility. Lightweight yet tough, mesh adds practicality to multi-functional outdoor storage designs.

Fabric Storage Gear Production Flow
Step 1 - Product Design
Our design team develops custom layouts for soft coolers, backpack coolers, and storage bags, focusing on usability, insulation needs, stitching structure, and client branding preferences before sampling and tooling.
Step 2 - Material Incoming
We source premium materials like 840D TPU fabric, PVC mesh, PEVA, Oxford cloth, and insulation foams. All materials are received and tagged by batch for tracking and quality assurance.
Step 3 - Material Inspection
Fabrics are tested for thickness, coating adhesion, waterproof performance, and color consistency. Only qualified rolls proceed to cutting, ensuring durability and production stability.
Step 4 - Fabric Cutting
Using computer-controlled machines or manual tools, fabrics and linings are cut into precise panels based on design templates to minimize waste and optimize sewing efficiency.
Step 5 - Heat Pressing
Heat pressing bonds fabric layers or accessories using high-frequency heat. This step is crucial for soft coolers and backpack coolers, enhancing waterproof sealing and structure retention.
Step 6 - Sewing
Panels are stitched together with heavy-duty thread. Seam types and positions vary by product type—ensuring strength, leak resistance, and ergonomic fit in use.
Step 7 - Forming
Soft and backpack coolers are shaped using high-frequency plastic welding machines. This ensures airtight insulation compartments and watertight seams without needle holes.
Step 8 - Product Inpection
Each product undergoes full QC: seam strength tests, leak detection, insulation performance, and zipper smoothness. Only products passing tests move to final packaging.
Step 9 - Packaging
Products are cleaned and packed with instructions, hang tags, and logos. Packaging varies—PE bags, color boxes, or carry bags—depending on client needs and product type.
Step 10 - Warehousing
All items are stored in a dust-free, moisture-controlled warehouse. Inventory is coded by SKU for efficient picking, quality traceability, and timely delivery to global clients.

Plastic Storage Gear Production Flow
Step 1 - Product Design
Our engineers design each plastic item—like folding boxes or cooler shells—based on functionality, strength, and portability. Prototypes are created to test structure, fit, and custom branding feasibility before moving into production.
Step 2 - Material Incoming
We source high-quality plastic resins such as PP, PE, and HDPE. Materials arrive in raw pellet form, stored under dry, clean conditions to maintain processing integrity.
Step 3 - Material Inspection
All plastic pellets are inspected for consistency, color accuracy, and purity. Moisture content and flow index are tested to ensure proper molding performance.
Step 4 - Mold Installation
Molds for injection or blow molding are precisely installed. These determine the product’s final shape, thickness, and detail level, supporting both structural strength and customization.
Step 5 - Dry Blending
Plastic pellets are mixed with color masterbatch to create client-specific colors. This step ensures consistent coloration and material stability throughout the injection or blow molding process.
Step 6 - Blow Molding
Blow molding forms hollow plastic water tanks. Heated material is inflated inside the mold, creating lightweight, seamless, and leak-proof containers suitable for outdoor use. For water containers manufacturing only.
Step 7 - Injection Molding
Used for cooler shells and folding boxes, injection molding shapes plastic parts with high precision, producing durable components with clean lines, fine details, and consistent dimensions.
Step 8 - Silk-Screen Printing
Logos, product labels, and instructions are printed on plastic surfaces using durable silk-screen ink, offering high visibility and wear-resistant branding on storage boxes and water tanks.
Step 9 - Foaming
PU foam is injected between outer and inner cooler shells. This step creates a high-density insulation layer to maintain cold storage for extended outdoor use. Fo hard cooler box manufacturing only.
Step 10 - Assembly
All parts are manually or semi-automatically assembled—handles, wheels, spouts, lids, and locks—ensuring proper fit, function, and strength before packaging and testing.
Step 11 - Ice Gel Box Production
Gel packs are filled with water-absorbing polymer powder. After water is added, they become a cooling gel. These packs are frozen and inserted into coolers for temperature control.
Step 12 - Product Testing
Gel packs are filled with water-absorbing polymer powder. After water is added, they become a cooling gel. These packs are frozen and inserted into coolers for temperature control.
Step 13 - Packaging
Products are packed with protective film, user manuals, and branding. Depending on client needs, we offer PE bags, color boxes, carry bags, and master cartons.
Step 14 - Warehousing
All goods are stored in a dry, clean, and temperature-controlled warehouse. Inventory is organized by SKU to ensure fast dispatch and consistent delivery timelines.
