leather cutting for bag

China’s luggage industry has been growing at a rapid pace in recent years, not only as a global manufacturing center, but also as a major exporter, producing nearly 1/3 of the world’s luggages. In these export categories, young people are increasingly focusing on choosing luggages with a sense of design, while focusing on the convenience of carrying small leather goods (card bags, wallets, coin purses, cell phone bags, etc.), the sense of design, materials, and production process of whether the corporate social responsibility and in line with the concept of sustainable development.

 

With this background, manufacturers are moving towards intelligent production methods for bags and luggage. Whether it’s optimizing processes, reducing material waste, practicing social responsibility, or introducing sustainable solutions, upgrading technical standards, and developing innovative products to meet the demand for a small number of diversified orders, this has become a common consideration for manufacturers. And brands will focus more on how to utilize technology for growth and innovation.

// Smart Manufacturing for Growth

In the midst of this trend, from nesting to cutting to bag craft innovation, GBOS provides you with a digital one-stop intelligent cutting + innovative craft solution to help you realize bag and luggage intelligent manufacturing 4.0.

// Cut Every Inch of Available Leather

Leather nesting, for leather manufacturers, it is particularly important. Because of the high cost of leather raw materials determine the manufacturer in the production process cannot be crudely made, but to ” meticulous “, which is quite strict requirements for leather nesting masters. In the face of various realities, enterprises must find more ” intelligent ” and ” outstanding ” automation solutions to enhance the competitiveness of enterprises.

 

GBOS’s ITS3-3012 AI intelligent leather nesting, from its “birth”, has been given an “extraordinary” mission – cut every inch of available leather, through independent code and new architectural nesting, to nest the leather. Through independent code and new architecture nesting, nesting speed is increased by 50%, so that the utilization rate of leather is increased by about 2-10% compared with peer companies.

 

If you match the ITS3-3012 with a set of super servers, in terms of half leather cutting, you can build 3 KC1630TT-RT-3P to realize half leather non-stop nesting, cutting and receiving. In terms of full leather cutting, 2 KC3060TTX2 can be built to realize full leather non-stop nesting, cutting and receiving!

  • White and light-colored apparel remains a timeless choice in the fashion industry, valued for its clean look and versatility across work and casual settings, reflecting today’s preference for simple, quality living. Behind this “pure aesthetic,” however, lies a long-standing cutting challenge for manufacturers: preserving the fabric’s original beauty while ensuring production efficiency and precision. 01 White Fabric Cutting: A Seemingly Simple but Highly Demanding Challenge In the business world, real pain points are often hidden within needs that appear simple at first glance. Consumers expect white apparel to be clean and flawless, breathable and comfortable, and durable down to the finest details—but meeting all three expectations at once is a real challenge for manufacturers. Natural cotton, linen, and eco-friendly specialty fabrics offer excellent breathability and comfort, yet they are extremely difficult to cut. Traditional laser cutting generates high heat that can cause yellowing, darkening, or scorching along the edges—an almost “fatal flaw” for white fabrics. The result is either scrapped material or compromised brand reputation, driving up waste and production costs. At the same time, modern garment features such as seamless pockets and waterproof bonding tapes require highly precise cutting to ensure quality. Inaccurate cuts from traditional methods often lead...

  • The true refinement of automotive interiors is often hidden in the details you don’t immediately see. From a single piece of plastic raw material to a contoured trim part that fits seamlessly into the cabin, the precision and efficiency of the cutting process directly define the upper limit of product quality—and ultimately shape a manufacturer’s core competitiveness. 01 The Dual Challenge of Cutting Complex Automotive Interior Components As you sit inside a vehicle and run your fingers along the smooth curves of the center console or the precisely cut openings on the door panels, you probably don’t stop to think about how these complex, contoured parts are produced with such consistency. For automotive component manufacturers, however, achieving this level of precision has long been a hidden pain point in production. Traditional stamping dies are bulky and costly to change over, making them ill-suited for customized or irregularly shaped interior parts. Manual trimming, on the other hand, relies heavily on operator experience, often resulting in inconsistent accuracy, excessive burrs, and additional finishing processes that consume time, labor, and may even compromise part precision. As a result, the machining of complex interior parts is often trapped in a dilemma between low efficiency...
