Fifty pieces for laptop bags, gym bags and duffle bags; 100 pieces for backpacks and sling bags; 200 pieces for tote bags. Minimums differ by product because setup cost — cutting, printing screens, embroidery digitising — is spread across the run.

A tote bag has a low unit price, so setup cost dominates and the run has to be longer to make the piece price sensible. A laptop bag carries more value per unit, so a shorter run still works. The number is arithmetic, not policy.

Sometimes, at a higher price per piece. Tell us the quantity you actually need and we will quote it honestly rather than turning the enquiry away.

Yes, and it usually costs less than ordering separately. Each product still has to meet its own minimum, but one shipment means one freight cost and one customs entry.

Within 24 hours of receiving your specification. If a line needs a tariff check or a specialist supplier we will say so in that first reply rather than going quiet.

Yes, and the cost is credited against the production order when you proceed. A sample you have handled is worth more than any photograph.

Vector is best — AI, EPS, PDF or SVG. A high-resolution PNG at the printed size will usually work. If you only have a low-resolution file, our studio can redraw it, charged as a studio fee and credited against the order.

Screen printing is cheapest for flat, few-colour logos on fabric panels. Embroidery is raised, durable and survives washing better, and it suits shirts, caps and bag panels. Heat transfer handles photographic and gradient artwork that neither of the other methods can reproduce.

Yes. Send a Pantone reference or a brand guideline PDF. We match at sample stage and hold that reference across every item in the programme.

Yes. Send a brief or a reference product and our studio produces a technical drawing, a dieline and a 3D mockup before anything is manufactured.

Yes. That is private-label production: your specification, your labels, your packaging, no reference to us on the product.

Yes, to all 77 districts of Nepal. Give us the delivery district at quote stage so the transport cost is in the quoted price rather than added later.

Three to six weeks in total from approved sample: production, consolidation, customs clearance and last-mile delivery. Urgent orders can sometimes be compressed, and we will tell you which lines can still make your date.

We do. The quote you receive is the delivered price, so customs duty, VAT and clearance are handled on our side rather than becoming your problem at the border.

Nepal applies customs duty between 0% and 80% depending on the tariff line, plus 13% VAT calculated on the CIF value plus duty. India-origin goods receive a preferential rebate off the MFN rate under the Treaty of Trade but are not duty-free. Confirm the current rate for your specific HS line on the Nepal National Single Window at nnsw.gov.np, because rates change with each Finance Act.

CIF is the cost of the goods plus insurance and freight to the Nepali border. It is the base Nepal assesses duty on, which is why a cheap product with expensive freight can land at a worse price than a better product shipped efficiently.

Usually Raxaul–Birgunj, which handled about 46.9% of Nepal's total import value in FY 2025/26 according to the Department of Customs. Sunauli–Bhairahawa at 14.51% and Jogbani–Biratnagar at 11.54% are the alternates, and we route by whichever is faster for your delivery district.

Roughly 4 to 8 hours on the Indian side and 1 to 2 days on the Nepali side when the paperwork is clean. When the invoice, packing list and transport document do not agree, the same consignment can take 5 to 7 days.

Yes. Customs clearance and import documentation is a standalone service, sold to companies who will never buy a bag from us.

Bilateral India–Nepal trade settles in Indian rupees, and the Nepalese rupee is pegged at 1.60 to the Indian rupee. We can present the quote in either currency; the peg means there is no exchange-rate surprise between quote and delivery.

Yes, when you have given us the delivery district. The quote includes goods, freight, duty, VAT and delivery. If something in the specification changes, the price changes, and we will show you which line moved.

Yes, on the trade map page. It shows the CIF-to-delivered cost stack for indicative duty bands. It is an illustration of how the arithmetic works, not a quote.

Terms are agreed per order and set out in the quote. Discuss them before the sample stage rather than after production has started.

Yes for Nepali-manufactured goods. Under the Indo-Nepal Treaty of Trade they enter India at zero basic customs duty on a non-reciprocal basis. IGST still applies, so duty-free is not tax-free, and entry has to be through a designated land customs station.

A valid Certificate of Origin from the Nepali designated agency, at least 30% domestic value addition in Nepal, and a change in HS classification at four-digit level between input and output. India tightened enforcement in 2025 and now expects proof of origin rather than a certificate alone.

No. The Indo-Nepal Treaty of Trade is bilateral rather than LDC-linked, so this particular access survives graduation. Other preferences — EU, China, Türkiye — are LDC-linked and are the ones genuinely at risk. Nepal has in any case asked the United Nations to defer graduation to November 2029.

Alcoholic beverages, and perfumes and cosmetics with brand names that are neither Nepali nor Indian, sit on the negative list. Four categories run under fixed annual quotas: vegetable fats, acrylic yarn, copper products and zinc oxide.

Allo is the fibre of the Himalayan giant nettle, hand-processed in Nepal's mid-hills and spun into a coarse, extremely strong yarn. It is among the strongest natural fibres known and is used for bags, backpacks and textiles.

Lokta is handmade Nepali paper produced from the inner bark of high-altitude Daphne shrubs. It is naturally resistant to insects and mildew, which is why Nepali government records were historically kept on it.

That is the export facilitation service. We hold the Indian importer-exporter code, GST registration, warehousing and distribution that most Nepali manufacturers do not, and we handle the origin documentation.

Sabai Paucha B2B (सबै पाउँछ, "everyone gets") is a B2B supply desk for Nepali businesses. We supply custom bags, corporate merchandise, awards, workwear and packaging, produce them through manufacturing partners in India and Nepal, handle our own customs clearance and import documentation, and deliver to all 77 districts.

Across manufacturing partners in India, with a Nepal-made range produced in Nepal. We are a supplier and trade operator rather than a single factory, which is what lets us quote across bags, metalware, textiles, paper and packaging from one desk.

Yes, in Kathmandu. Phone and WhatsApp are answered from 9am to 9pm daily, in Nepali and English.

Schools and colleges, banks and finance, hotels and hospitality, gyms and fitness, retail, IT and tech, NGOs and INGOs, travel and tourism, food and beverage, construction and industry, events and promotions, and healthcare.

Arms and ammunition, wireless communications equipment, precious metals and jewellery, beef and beef products, and liquor above 60% alcohol are prohibited or licence-restricted into Nepal. We also avoid anything needing food-safety, plant-quarantine or drug-regulator clearance, because those approvals cannot be delivered inside a 24-hour quote.
