Leather cardholder manufacturer in Bangladesh

A cardholder is two panels, a stack of slots and four edges, and nothing else. With no hardware or lining to hide behind, every stitch and every corner is on show, which makes it a clean test of a leather goods unit. Corporate gift buyers order it most, followed by accessory brands. Ask any leather cardholder manufacturer in Bangladesh for a sample before trusting it with a larger range.

No cardholder unit is vetted with Garments Hub BD yet. The desk visits units that skive and paint small goods, looks closely at their corners, and replies within 5 working days with a real quote or a straight no. For a gift run, ask for the personalised names to be checked piece by piece, and it goes into the inspection brief.

Kinds of leather cardholder

Flat four slot cardholder

Two slots on each face and an open pocket in the middle. The classic shape, and one that puts every edge and corner in plain view.

Folding card case

A small bifold for four to six cards and a few folded notes. A step towards a wallet without the bulk of a full note section.

Sleeve card case

A single pocket with a thumb cut, holding a few cards. Fewer layers than a slotted cardholder and a lower cost per piece, often chosen for large giveaways.

Card case with an ID window

A clear window for a staff pass on one face and slots on the other. Companies order it as a gift for their own staff.

How to specify a leather cardholder

Slot count and step

The number of slots, their depth and the step between them, so each card shows a strip and can be pulled out.

Leather and thickness

Goatskin or cowhide, usually 0.8 to 1.0 mm for the panels, with slot layers skived thinner at the edges.

Corners

Square or rounded, and the radius in millimetres. Corners are where stitching and paint go wrong first on a cardholder.

Stitch

Stitch length, usually 2.5 to 3.5 mm on small goods, thread colour, and how close to the edge the line runs.

Logo

Blind deboss, foil stamp or laser engraving, its size and position measured from two edges, and a name per piece if needed.

Gift packaging

Box, sleeve or pouch, and whether a card or message goes in with each piece.

Audits and inspection for a leather cardholder manufacturer in Bangladesh

ISO 2859-1

Sets inspection sample sizes from the lot size. A gift lot of small cardholders is quick to inspect, so buyers can ask for a stricter level, such as AQL 1.5, on visible defects.

amfori BSCI

Corporate buyers' supplier codes often require this social audit of the unit making their cardholders. Ask at the enquiry if your company needs one.

LWG

Companies gifting to clients sometimes ask where the leather came from, and a tannery rated gold, silver, bronze or audited gives a documented answer.

What moves the price of a leather cardholder

• Edge finishing: four edges painted in several coats is most of the labour on a cardholder.
• Logo method: one die for every piece, or a name set piece by piece.
• Leather: goatskin and calfskin with an even grain cost more than corrected cowhide.
• Gift packaging such as a box, sleeve or pouch, bought in and packed per piece.
• Slot count, since each slot adds a layer to skive and paint.

Lead time for leather cardholders

Cardholder samples usually take 14 to 21 days and bulk 45 to 75 days after the PP sample is approved in writing. A gift order with names adds days for setting each one and checking it against the list. Printed gift boxes run alongside production but can hold up packing if they arrive late. The quote confirms each date.
