Travel Wallets & Money Clips: Sourcing Hub

A passport, boarding passes, multiple currencies, a second card stack and often a pen or SIM pocket. That changes the internal layout: a passport sleeve, a divided note compartment and a zipped coin section. It also changes the outer dimensions, so a travel wallet is usually a separate body rather than a variant of a slim wallet.

A money clip gives quick access and a slim profile but can mark notes and holds a limited stack. An elastic cash strap is lighter, cheaper and holds more, but the elastic fatigues. For travel, a clip with a rubber grip and a secondary card slot is the more durable retail proposition; the strap wins on cost.

A clip is usually tested by inserting a defined stack of notes, removing and reinserting them several hundred times, and checking that the spring still holds without marking. Ask for the target holding force and the cycle count. Stainless spring steel outperforms bent brass, and the difference shows after a few months of use.

Yes, and it is common for brands building a full range. Mixed models can share an order as long as each SKU meets its own minimum. Packaging, carton marking and FBA labels should be planned per SKU, otherwise the mixed order creates picking errors at the warehouse.

Existing bifold or passport bodies with new leather, logo and packaging start at 500 pieces. A new internal layout using existing patterns starts at 3,000 pieces. A new body, zip or passport sleeve that needs a new pattern and cutting die starts at 5,000 pieces.
