Textile case and

packaging manufacturer

In 2010, AdvanceXL began to create and manufacture made-to-measure textile cases and sheaths.

In the beginning, our expertise centered on prototyping. Gradually, we grew from being an artisanal creator open to international markets to becoming the manufacturer and partner for major French, Swiss and German brands and distributors.

Our production tools are exclusively artisanal. Our knowledge of tailoring and over twenty years of experience in China have enabled us to choose and train teams according to European criteria. Our high quality standards mean that we have an extremely low rate of return (2 PPM).

Expertise

serving the fine arts

After noting that fine arts students had only black covers and pouches for carrying their tools, materials and easels, we worked with graphic arts professionals to develop sturdy, technically perfected coverings, in all sizes and in trendy colors.

Since then, we supply 29.7 x 42 cm, 32.5 x 50 cm, 50 x 65 cm, 56 x 76 cm, 75 x 106 cm and 90 x 126 formats for bags and carrying cases. Our carrying cases are manufactured according to French stretcher sizes. Backpacks are available in 21 x 29.7 cm and 29.7 x 42 cm formats.

These bags, covers, carrying cases, backpacks and accessories for the fine arts are designed under the ARTech bags brand for students, professionals, amateurs, galleries, museums, communication agencies and companies.

ALL OUR ITEMS CAN BE PERSONALIZED!
