If you're already dealing with visible damages in your cargo area, this can be frustrating and an eye sore. Many car owners face scuffed, scratched, or damaged trunks from everyday use. Whether it's from shopping sliding around, pets jumping in and out, or DIY tasks that include heavy and sharp equipment, it’s easy for your car trunk to show signs of wear. There’s a solution that can help protect and prevent further damage to your vehicle's cargo area: the Hatchbag cargo liner and cargo mats.

In this blog, we'll explore how Hatchbag's cargo mats and liners can prevent further damage to your vehicle’s interior, whilst offering added comfort, stability, and protection for your lifestyle. Let’s look into why Hatchbag is the perfect solution for covering visible damage and safeguarding car appearance.

Why You Need a Cargo Mat or Liner

If you haven't protected your cargo space with a Hatchbag trunk mat or liner, you may be noticing an increase in visible damages. The inside of your trunk, especially in SUVs and larger vehicles, is constantly exposed to dirt, spills, and overall wear and tear. Over time, this heavy usage can lead to permanent damage, diminishing the overall look of your car and reducing its resale value.

A cargo mat that is an accessory for the Hatchbag cargo liner is designed to further protect your vehicle, reducing odors and adding stability for pets. This further ensures your trunk stays in pristine condition. Hatchbag offers a variety of mats to cater to different needs and preferences. From added non-slip properties to comfort and convenience, Hatchbag mats do much more than just protect your vehicle- they improve its functionality.

How Hatchbag Mats Protect Your Car and Pets

One of the key advantages of Hatchbag cargo mats is their ability to provide extra protection against car damage, especially for those with pets. If you have a dog that regularly rides with you in your SUV, you know how difficult it can be to keep the back area clean and undamaged. Pets can cause scratches, hair build up, and even damage the interior if they move around too much.

Hatchbag mats are designed with anti-slip properties that help dogs stay stable in the back of your vehicle, preventing sudden movement or sliding that can lead to further damage. Plus, the mats extend all the way to the edge of the trunk, offering full coverage all around. This ensures no part of your cargo area is left exposed to potential damage.

Types of Hatchbag Mats

Hatchbag offers a range of mats designed for different lifestyles. Whether you need extra comfort for your dog or are simply looking to keep your car in the condition you bought it, there’s a practical solution for everyone. Here are the three mats that Hatchbag offers:

Hatchbed Mat

The Hatchbed Mat is perfect for those who want extra comfort for pets, especially during long trips. It’s made from a soft yet durable material that provides cushioning, making it more comfortable for your dog. It’s ideal for people who travel with pets frequently and need a mat that combines both comfort and protection.

Odor Mat

If you’re concerned about keeping your car smelling fresh, the Odor Mat from Hatchbag is the ideal solution. This mat contains active charcoal which helps eradicate odors, making it perfect for people who transport pets, sports gear, or any items that tend to leave behind lingering smells. It not only protects your trunk but also helps maintain a clean and fresh-smelling car, just like you bought it!

Rubber Mat

For those who need a more rugged, heavy-duty option, the Rubber Mat is the most durable choice. It offers maximum protection against spills, dirt, and debris, making it the perfect choice for anyone who frequently transports heavy or messy items. Its non-slip properties make it ideal for keeping items in place during travel, and it’s also easy to clean. Just wipe it down and it’s ready for the next trip.

Choosing the Right Cargo Mat for Your SUV

When it comes to choosing the right cargo mat for your SUV, it’s important to consider how you use your vehicle and your lifestyle choices. If you regularly transport pets, a cargo mat for SUVs with anti-slip properties and comfort, like the Rubber Mats and Hatchbed Mats, will provide cosiness and security for your dog while protecting the trunk area. For those who mainly use their trunk for carrying shopping or sports equipment, a trunk mat that is easy-to-clean and durable like the Rubber Mat, might be your best option.

If eliminating odors is a priority for you, especially if you often carry items like sports gear or wet clothes, consider the Odor Mat. This will not only protect the trunk but also keep your car smelling fresh.

Why Hatchbag Is the Ultimate Solution for Your Car

Not only do Hatchbag cargo mats and liners protect your vehicle from visible damage, but they also prevent further damage from occurring. By covering your trunk with a Hatchbag product, you’re creating a barrier between your vehicle’s surface and whatever you’re transporting.

By investing in a Hatchbag liner and mat, you’re also maintaining the car appearance, helping with your vehicle’s resale value. Don’t let visible trunk damage diminish the value of your vehicle. Choose a Hatchbag cargo liner and mat for your SUV and enjoy long-lasting protection.

When it comes to protecting your SUV’s trunk from dirt, spills, and wear and tear, investing in a quality cargo liner with the best protection is essential. But with so many options available, how do you know whether to go with a universal SUV cargo liner or a custom-fit SUV cargo liner? While universal cargo liners might seem convenient, Hatchbag’s custom-fit SUV trunk liners offer distinct advantages that make them better than the generic options. In this blog, we’ll compare Hatchbag’s trunk liners to universal alternatives, highlighting why Hatchbag is the better choice for your vehicle’s protection.

Superior Fit and Coverage: The Tailor-made Advantage

One of the most significant drawbacks of universal trunk liners is the lack of a precise fit. The universal cargo liners are designed to be a one-size-fits-all solution, which often leads to incomplete coverage, especially in the corners or edges of your trunk. This means your trunk can be exposed to any wear and tear, decreasing the value of your vehicle. In contrast, Hatchbag’s custom-fit SUV cargo liners are tailored specifically for your vehicle make and model, ensuring a perfect fit with maximum coverage, covering all areas of your trunk.

Whether you drive a compact car or a midsize SUV, Hatchbag has a car trunk liner designed to match your exact specifications. With a custom trunk protector, you won’t have to deal with the drawbacks of universal trunk liners, such as gapping and movement when in use. The snug, glove-like fit of the Hatchbag cargo liner ensures that the liner stays in place, offering continuous protection for your cargo space.

The Technology Behind a Cargo Liner

At Hatchbag, we scan every car model to ensure that your cargo liner aligns to every curve and contour of your trunk. We use a 3D scanning machine and meticulously cover all angles of the trunk, to provide maximum protection and to make sure no area of your trunk is exposed. The 3D scanner picks up on the precise contours of your trunk, so when your cargo liner is fitted in your vehicle, it becomes a second skin. This glove-like fit is crucial when you want superior protection.

Universal SUV trunk liners don’t undergo this process, allowing for gapping, a poor fit and much less protection. The generic fit provided won't match each curve and contour of your vehicle. Hatchbag provides that ultimate protection.

Premium Quality: Long Lasting and Durable

The quality of the material used in a cargo liner can significantly impact its longevity and effectiveness. Many universal trunk liners are made from lower-quality materials that may not withstand heavy use or offer any real protection. Hatchbag, however, uses fibre reinforced PVC, a highly durable material that can handle everything from pet hair to muddy boots without compromising on performance.

Made in the UK, Hatchbag’s cargo liners are built to last. The premium, tough fabric provides superior resistance against spills, stains, and wear, ensuring that your SUV cargo liner holds up to the demands of daily use. Whether you're transporting shopping, sports gear, or your pet, Hatchbag’s materials are carefully crafted to provide long lasting protection, while maintaining a spotless interior.

Tailored-Made Additions for Further Convenience

When you choose a Hatchbag cargo liner, you can add extras and accessories to further maximise the protection of your trunk. Hatchbag offers items such as the bumper flap, which is a protective flap that hangs from the edge of your trunk, helping guard the area from pet scratches when they jump into the cargo space. We also offer a tailgate cover, that sits underneath the rear window, protecting from anything that rests against your trunk door. The are just two of the additions that we offer to help keep your car’s interior absolutely spotless.

The custom-fit design eliminates the need for constant adjustments or repositioning when adding your extras and accessories, which is often a hassle with universal mats that don't quite fit the contours of your trunk.

Made in the UK: The Assurance of Quality

One of the main things we take pride in is that Hatchbag cargo liners are proudly made in the UK. This production means that Hatchbag can maintain high standards of craftsmanship and quality control, ensuring each product meets rigorous durability and design specifications. By choosing Hatchbag, you’re supporting a company that takes pride in producing premium products in the UK, and ensuring that your car trunk protector is built to last.

Why Choose Hatchbag Over Generic Options?

1. Perfect Fit: Hatchbag’s custom-fit SUV trunk liners are designed specifically for your vehicle, unlike universal options that offer a less-than-ideal fit with issues.

2. Premium Materials: Hatchbag’s high-quality materials ensure your trunk liner will stand up to heavy use, keeping your trunk protected for years to come. A Hatchbag cargo liner will last the lifetime of your car!

3. Tailored Features: Hatchbag offers additional options to suit your unique needs, such as odor mats, that pet mat, bumper flaps and tailgate covers for additional protection and pet comfort.

4. Made in the UK: Hatchbag products are crafted with care and precision in the UK, ensuring superior quality.

When it comes to choosing the best protection for your SUV's trunk, Hatchbag’s custom-fit cargo liners offer unmatched benefits over universal cargo liners. From their superior fit to the high-quality materials and tailored features, Hatchbag provides everything you need in a cargo liner. If you’re looking for a durable, practical, and stylish way to protect your vehicle’s cargo area, Hatchbag is the clear choice.

Protect Your Cargo Area from Dog Hair and Dirty Paws

As a pet owner, your car can quickly become a mess, especially when your furry friend enjoys outdoor adventures. Whether it's muddy paws, shedding dog hair, or the occasional accident, your car's trunk area can take quite a beating. Hatchbag cargo liner mats for dogs are the ultimate solution to protect your car’s cargo space while keeping your pet comfy. Hatchbag cargo liners provides complete coverage for your vehicle, making it ideal for dog owners.

In this blog post, we’ll dive into the reasons why Hatchbag cargo mats are a must-have and how they can make your life much easier.

The Ultimate Protection for Your Trunk

Dogs are fun and lovable companions, but they can often damage and impact the state of your trunk. From fur and muddy paws to drool and dirt, your car’s trunk often takes the brunt of the mess. A cargo liner mat designed specifically for dogs offers anti-slip security and additional comfort, as well as having the unparalleled protection from your cargo liner.

Hatchbag's cargo liners are custom-made to fit your car’s exact dimensions, ensuring a perfect fit for your vehicle. Their durability helps shield your trunk area from damage caused by scratches and dirt. When you invest in a liner from Hatchbag, you're not just protecting your car; you're investing in its long-term value.

Why Choose Hatchbag Cargo Liner Mats for Dogs?

1. Custom Fit for Your Vehicle

Every pet owner knows that no two dogs are alike, and neither are their car trunks. Hatchbag cargo liner mats for dogs are tailored to fit the exact specifications of your car, whether you have an SUV, sedan, or estate vehicle. This custom fit means better protection, as the mat will follow the shape of your cargo liner perfectly and stay securely in place. 

2. Durable and Easy to Clean

Hatchbag cargo liners are made from tough, high-quality materials that can handle everything your dog throws at them—literally. Whether it’s mud, water, or fur, these liners are easy to wipe clean, helping you save time and effort. No more spending hours scrubbing your car’s trunk after a muddy adventure with your pup.

3. Protection Against Pet Hair and Dirt

The biggest headache for dog owners is dealing with stubborn pet hair. Our mats trap fur and prevent it from getting embedded in your car's upholstery. Whether your dog sheds a little or a lot, Hatchbag mats make it easy to remove all that unwanted fur. Plus, their rugged surface helps catch dirt, preventing it from spreading throughout your car.

Tips for Choosing the Right Cargo Liner for Dogs

When choosing the perfect cargo mat for your dog, consider the following factors to get the best fit and protection for your car:

1. Size and Shape

Check the specifications of your trunk area before purchasing to ensure you have chosen the right mat for your cargo liner. Hatchbag offers a custom-made fit for many car models, making it easy to find the perfect liner for your vehicle, and therefore, a mat.

2. Material and Durability

Choose a liner made of durable, water-resistant material that can withstand the wear and tear your pet’s adventures will bring. Hatchbag cargo liners are designed to last, even under heavy use.

3. Non-Slip Design

If your dog tends to move around a lot in the trunk, an anti-slip cargo mat can help keep them comfortable and safe. The Hatchbag mat is non-slip ensuring the mat stays in place, even on the bumpiest of rides.

4. Ease of Cleaning

Dogs bring a lot of messes, so you’ll want a cargo liner mat that’s easy to clean. The Hatchbag mat can be wiped down with minimal effort to keep your car looking fresh.

How to Maintain Your Cargo Liner Mats

Maintaining your Hatchbag cargo liner along with your mat is simple and ensures they last for years. Here are a few quick tips:

1. Regular Cleaning

Wipe the mat down with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For more stubborn messes, you can use a pet-friendly cleaner or vacuum the surface to remove dog hair.

2. Air Drying

If the mat gets wet, take it out of the trunk and air dry it to prevent any mold or mildew build-up. Most dog mud mats dry quickly, so this step is easy to manage.

3. Storage

You can keep the mat in the trunk with the cargo liner, no need to take out if your pet is regularly travelling in the trunk.

Winter

The festive season brings a host of exciting activities, from exploring Christmas themed locations to taking your pets on scenic snowy walks. Activities such as these give you time to have fun and unwind, whilst embracing the beauty of winter.

The festive season is known as a time for giving and showing gratitude. You may be feeling unsure on what to get your loved ones at this time of year, as gift giving becomes more and more difficult when each December rolls around. We want to show you how our practical gift, the Hatchbag cargo liner, is a great present to give car enthusiasts, hikers, dog owners and so many more. With keeping a car’s interior spotless, the turn around between Christmas and New Year travels becomes a lot more seamless.

Why should you gift a Hatchbag?

We believe the Hatchbag cargo liner is a thoughtful and practical gift to give to your loved ones. At Hatchbag, we are dedicated to making our customer’s journeys run seamlessly and smoother. By gifting a Hatchbag, you are helping your loved ones out in reducing the time spent cleaning their vehicle’s interior. This allows for more time spent enjoying the adventures ahead, all the while keeping their car’s interior spotless. The festive season and the winter months are a great opportunity to adventure in your car. Helping your loved ones out in taking away that worry about cleaning, is a thoughtful gesture.

Who should I gift a Hatchbag to?

The Hatchbag cargo liner is great to gift to anyone with a car, but we think there will be people who are extra appreciative of the cargo liner. Firstly, dog owners are great people to target when you are thinking of gift giving. We know that after a walk, dogs jump in to the trunk of the car covered in mud and smelling not great. Especially in these colder and wetter months, this becomes more of a problem, and regularly deep cleaning your trunk becomes a chore. The Hatchbag cargo liner eliminates the hours spent cleaning your trunk, letting the adventures begin now. You may want to gift dog owners an odour mat in addition to the liner, to prevent those bad dog smells from lingering in your car.

When considering a cargo liner as a gift, your loved ones who are outdoor enthusiasts would be a great choice. Hiking equipment, muddy walking shoes and even camping gear can really affect the condition of your trunk. To avoid wear and tear of your trunk from heavy and sharp objects, investing in a Hatchbag cargo liner is an efficient option. The liner is made from reinforced PVC, which is durable and tear- proof, protecting the entirety of an outdoor enthusiast’s trunk. A Hatchbag cargo liner would be a great gift for those who love the outdoors!

Will the Hatchbag make my Christmas travels easier?

Whether you are transporting presents, bringing some food to a Christmas party or chauffeuring your loved ones around, the Hatchbag cargo liner has you covered. We want your travels to be seamless and believe the Hatchbag liner is the way forward in attaining this. Our cargo liner prevents that wear and tear and makes spillages easy to clean up. This means you don’t have to worry about spending time cleaning, something you shouldn’t have to think about at Christmas!

Get into the Christmas spirit by ordering a red Hatchbag cargo liner. You can embrace the Christmas vibes and also enjoy the striking colour all year round. Check out our Instagram and Facebook to see the red liner installed in cars. The colour is a Hatchbag favourite!

Hi everyone! I previously introduced myself in the last blog post, but if you are new to the blogs, I’m Evie and I am the Digital Marketing Co-ordinator at Hatchbag. We are a UK based company in the North West of England and specialise in tailor-made cargo liners.

I thought it would be fun and informative to take you through a day at work and how it looks for me. I also wanted to let our customers know what happens behind the scenes at Hatchbag. I am part of the marketing department at Hatchbag, but I get to see all the departments at work and interact with them daily.

I am always curious about what people in the marketing field get up to in a day as the term ‘marketing’ is broad and vast. Whether that’s the more technical side or the more interactive side, marketing is all about showcasing our product, so the customer can understand exactly what our product is and why they should get one! I have been working with my manager, Halley and my co-worker, Fabian, updating the Hatchbag website. I have also been interacting with all of our customers on social media and posting content. Creating content is a fun way to be informative and interactive and allows us to communicate new launches and fun happenings at Hatchbag.

Starting the day

Every morning I check my tasks and see what updates are required on the website and what should be posted on social media. At the moment, one of the tasks the marketing team is working on is changing the product pages that the customer lands on when searching for their vehicle. When you view the website, you can now see pictures, educational information and resolutions to any questions you may have when purchasing a Hatchbag cargo liner. I have been using my design skills to create banners for every car model page, so whoever browses our website, can have a visual on the cargo liner in that specific car. Prioritising tasks is a really good way for me to plan out the rest of my day and also allows for informative content and exciting content to be published together.

Social Media

Hatchbag having a social media presence is essential and a fun addition. We want to keep up interactions with our customers and also let you know what is new at Hatchbag. We are active on Facebook and Instagram at the moment, and we love to see pictures of your Hatchbag cargo liners out and about. Looking at, commenting on and posting to the social media pages is something which I do regularly, as we want customers to feel social media is a place to ask anything about the Hatchbag cargo liner. We want our social media pages to feel welcoming and fun, so you can interact with us and enjoy our posts. Look out for all the cute photos of dogs in the cargo liners. We love to re-share pics of your pets!

Working with other departments of Hatchbag

Marketing, design and customer service all interact with each other in order to make the customer’s time with Hatchbag as seamless as possible. We have a wonderful team that wants to make everything easy for the customer, so they can enjoy their Hatchbag cargo liner. I work with each department equally and enjoy learning new information from the highly experienced staff at Hatchbag. I work with customer service by replying and interacting with comments and posts. Working with customer service is also a great way for me to expand my product knowledge and learn more about what we do behind the scenes at Hatchbag.

When working with design, I like to assist on scans or fittings. This allows me to get great content of our designers at work, and to show off their talent! Scans are very interesting to observe as they allow me to see where the production of a specific liner really starts.

Shooting Content

This is my favourite task as it allows me to be creative and add a little personal flair to the Hatchbag social media pages. I have always had an interest in photography and videography and I am of the generation that loves social media! I like to incorporate what is trending online in the social media pages, so you can see trending videography and engaging posts.

I go all around the factory to shoot content as I want everyone to be able to see the inner workings of Hatchbag and how we work on a day to day basis. I love gathering content in the sewing room as you can see the talent of our machinists and how they piece together, step by step, the Hatchbag cargo liner. It really is a jigsaw, with the end product coming out as an amazing cargo liner. Shooting content with the design team is a big part of my role and I really enjoy doing this as well. It is also great to spend time with Sarah and Gabriel, our designers, who are so talented and knowledgeable.

My role overall

Overall, my work schedule looks different every day, and that is what I love about working at Hatchbag. I can shoot content, interact with customers and show my creative side in social media posts. I also love to add to the website and use my design skills to create images that are useful to the customer. I am so happy to be working at Hatchbag and I am excited to show everyone further how great our product and company really is!

Welcome to Fall

The fall months are here in full force, with the shift in the weather being most notable in the US. Fall is representative of change, transformation and preparation. As the leaves transition into vibrant and striking colours and the air becomes more crisp, it makes us feel excitement for new beginnings. It is important to embrace the season, and celebrate all its festivities. Here at Hatchbag, we are seizing the fall season, celebrating Halloween and Thanksgiving, two occasions that are staff favourites. Fall is a great time to immerse yourself in the evolving natural landscapes and explore scenic areas that host a good place to hike.

Why our cargo liner is perfect for fall

Our cargo liners are the perfect companion for your fall adventures, as we believe the cleanliness of your car is important to keep that ease and relaxation supplied by the transformative, new season. Whether it’s muddy walking boots or a smelly dog, our Hatchbag cargo liner has you covered.

The Hatchbag liner is made out of reinforced PVC, which makes it tear-proof, allowing for heavy hiking equipment to be transported without worrying about your trunk becoming exposed. We pride ourselves on the quality standard of our product, and believe your trunk should have the constant protection that you desire. In addition to the liner, you can also purchase an odour control mat in conjunction with buying the liner, perfect for preventing those pet odours from lingering in your car.

Our cargo liner, aesthetically, also can allow you to embrace the fall spirit, and match the oranges, reds and browns that are so prominent in nature. We offer our cargo liners in a variety of colours, including those autumnal shades, allowing your car to have a seasonal feel. We showcase our range of colours on our Instagram and Facebook, so feel free to have a browse and see if our fall colours would complement your car.

The most notable shift we see when we get to the later months of the year is the drop in temperatures and rise in rainfall. It is so important to explore the outdoors this season, but we understand that your car can suffer during these months. Without the sunshine drying your pets off, your car gets the brunt of your muddy return. We make our cargo liners catering to customer wants and needs. When cleaning your liner, it remains in the trunk, making your job easier and quicker. The cargo liner isn’t machine washable, however, cleaning your liner with simple cleaning products, whilst staying in the trunk, saves time and water. You can get rid of all that mud and grime quickly and efficiently.

We want the journeys to your fall adventures to be easy. At Hatchbag, we take away the worry of your messy trunk and guarantee full protection for your car’s interior.

The Great Outdoors

Enjoying the great outdoors is essential for these months as nature is beautiful and ever-changing at this time. After a brisk walk, a forest trail or mountainous hike, the Hatchbag cargo liner is the perfect accessory to maintain your clean car. Whether it’s dirt covered walking boots or a muddy dog, our cargo liner protects your car from the inevitable dirt in these colder and wetter months.

At Hatchbag, we are all lovers of the great outdoors and exploring nature. The crisp air filled walks and the stunning views allows us to feel relaxed, at ease and a sense of inner peace. It is so important to take breaks from the virtual world and enjoy nature, with the fall season being the perfect host for striking natural sights. Hiking not only allows you to connect with nature, but is a social activity that can be enjoyed with friends and family. Being outside in the fresh air is important for us, as it makes us feel better and happier. We would love to recommend some of our favourite walking routes on the east coast of North America, so you can plan your adventures outdoor this season.

Embracing this season is so important and we would love to hear all about your adventures. Send us photographs of your fall adventures on our Facebook and Instagram, we would love to see what you get up to!

Get to know me

Hello readers! My name is Evie and I am a new starter at The Hatchbag Company. I have recently graduated with a degree in English Literature and have always had a passion for writing. Throughout my degree, I found a love for creative writing and story-telling. I am excited to use this blog as a space to keep Hatchbag customers updated on what goes on behind the scenes at our warehouse in Birkenhead. I am thrilled to take this next step and take on the role as Digital Marketing Co-ordinator!

I am excited to be working on the Hatchbag blog and would love for to this become a space for informative and fun content. In this blog post, I will be taking you through my first week at The Hatchbag Company. I was taken across three main sections of the business, and was able to watch first hand the whole process of creating cargo liners that are tailor-made to your car.

My time in design (creating the Hatchbag cargo liner)

My time with the design team, Sarah and Gabriel, was both educational and fascinating. We covered the fitting of the cargo liner and how vision becomes reality. Design starts with a more logistical process, looking at customer demand for cargo liners and researching if these car models would work at Hatchbag. The Hatchbag Company uses software to give the designing process structure. This helps the team in creating the best trunk protector for your car.

Starting off with looking at customer trends, your comments on social media such as Facebook and Instagram asking for car models, gives  a great starting point for research. At Hatchbag, we want to create cargo liners that you want! The Hatchbag Company does extensive research on the car models, so your cargo liner that you receive is perfect. This reinforces why our cargo liners perfectly fit every curve and contour of your trunk. These intricacies are all resolved in the designing process. To understand the dimensions of your own trunk to place an order, websites such as auto trader and net car show images of the specific trunks.

A scan plan is then made when the research of the car is complete. The scan is done with a 3D scanning camera, which allows for the design construction. 

We have a description on our UK website on how to fit the Hatchbag boot liner, so customers who purchase can also fit their cargo liner seamlessly. If there are any errors with the cargo liner, the liner has to go back to design where amendments can be made. This is then able to be signed off and becomes a completed car, ready on the website for a customer to purchase the tailor-made cargo liner. Our social media pages will always keep you up to date on this!

My time in operations (watching the Hatchbag cargo liner come together)

I joined Natalie to take a tour of the warehouse and better understand the manufacturing of the Hatchbag cargo liner. We see this product on Hatchbag’s website as a completed, sellable version, but looking behind the scenes, the manufacturing of the cargo liner exemplifies its intricacies and well thought out design choices. Natalie initially guided me through the ordering process, going through the website and exploring how the cargo liners are customisable and tailor made to each vehicle. She explained the purpose of elements crafted specifically for the Hatchbag cargo liner, such as the split, and highlighted the importance of the customer thoroughly reading the product guide to ensure the correct cargo liner is ordered and made. At Hatchbag, all our cargo liners are made to order in the UK, showing how important it is to follow the product guide.

When analysing social media comments and responses, I have noticed that the main questions were based around the logistics of the Hatchbag cargo liner. This included asking for measurements and questioning whether the vehicle would need extra additions to meet the consumer needs.  

I was then ready to observe the delicate crafting of the cargo liners. I witnessed the precision and talent of the machinists and understood how their role transformed a design into sellable and desirable product. We first visited the cutters and welders of the PVC, the material used to make the cargo liner. They created the intricate shapes that allow for the cargo liners to be personal to each car. Large machines were operated in order to trace and cut the precise angles of the PVC, ensuring accurate measurements to perfectly fit the chosen vehicle.

We then saw the cargo liners come to life in the sewing room. The liner initially starts as a jigsaw puzzle, with the highly skilled machinists using sewing machines to carefully attach the right pieces of Velcro to the right piece of PVC. This is then transferred to more machinsits in the Hatchbag team, where the pieces of PVC are then constructed into the shape of the Hatchbag cargo liner. This is where design really becomes a visual reality. Even without being fitted in a car, you can see how all the specific design choices will complement the vehicle and protect from dirt, wear and tear and spillages.

The Hatchbag cargo liner is then ready to be shipped! The order is packaged in a water resistant bag and is delivered to the customer in roughly 5-7 business days. Inside of the shipping bag, the customer will find the cargo liner in addition to an information pack. The pack includes a manual that takes the customer step by step on the process of fitting the cargo liner and any additional extras.

In terms of the behind the scenes of checking an order off, Hatchbag uses a specific software, where the necessary details are filled in and then the order can be marked as complete.

I was also able to shadow Gabriel and Sarah, who are our design team, and watch and assist the fitting of a cargo liner. A specific car model was brought in and the fitting took place to ensure all measurements and logistics were correct. The process of fitting the cargo liner started with using a product called Autoglym, which acts as a cleanser to remove silicone build up. This helps with the Velcro tabs adhering to the sections of the trunk where the liner is placed. It was fascinating watching how the meticulous cutting, welding and sewing all translated to the cargo liner fitting perfectly in the car. The intricacies of designing the cargo liner also made a vision come to life.

My time in customer service (helping the customers with the Hatchbag cargo liner)

In my initial week at Hatchbag, I learnt all about customer service with Janine. One of the main things I took from learning about customer service was the accuracy and detail in which you phrase your responses. Many of the customer service queries were based on the functionality of the cargo liner. This meant that responding to customers in a way that is easy to understand, but still hit the marks of successfully answering all of the questions, is vital.

What I really noticed this week, was that there is lots of interactivity between customer service, design and marketing at The Hatchbag Company. When customer service receives a high number of requests for a cargo liner to be made for a specific model of car, design is then able to scan and create the cargo liner. Marketing then has the ability to promote this addition to Hatchbag’s cargo liner collection.

Customer service also involves being personable to customers and understanding about their queries. This is done through many websites that Hatchbag use, focussing on customer interaction to resolve any issues but also maintain customer relationships for repeat purchases and recommendations. At Hatchbag, we manage our customer reviews and love to reply to positive comments and resolve any issues that a customer has. Hatchbag always replies to reviews that are 3 stars or below, asking the customer about anything that could make the product better for them.

I have noticed that the care for customer opinion is at the heart of The Hatchbag Company, therefore using websites that join all reviews together allows Janine in customer service to quickly and easily reply. There are other websites that Hatchbag uses to look at customer feedback however, instead of reviews and rating, we use a website that compiles all of the comments, tagged photos and direct messages from all of the Hatchbag social media and places it in one inbox. This is fantastic tool to use as it keeps up the interactivity with customers by liking posts and comments, yet also allows for questions to be answered in the direct messages.

The phone is the easiest and quickest way to communicate with customers. However, the digital age and the rise in social media presence makes for more traction and attention on the Hatchbag social media pages, making it necessary to communicate and post to keep up customer engagement.

Blog posts, just like this, are another way that Hatchbag likes to be interactive with customers. Things such as recurring questions and upcoming sales can be answered in this form, giving the upmost clarity to the customer.

My Future at The Hatchbag Company

My first week at Hatchbag has been fast-paced, exciting and educational. Every day, I am  familiarising myself with our products and the support from the Hatchbag team has made me feel so welcome. I am thrilled to be working on this blog and will also be able to interact on our Facebook and Instagram pages. I can’t wait to share more about our cargo liners and what we get up to at The Hatchbag company.
