Packing bags for EU retail
Retail buyers care about the bag. Warehouse buyers care about the carton. Both have to work.
EU retailers usually want polybag plus barcode, inner box optional, master carton with a clean shipping mark. If the bag will hang, say so before production. Hanging hardware changes the pattern.
Reach compliance is a fabric and hardware question, not a sticker question. Tell us the market in the first email so trims can be sourced for that market.
We pack for the truck, not for the showroom photo. Corners get boards. Zippers get pulls taped down when needed. That is how a duffel still looks new after a long ocean leg.
