Artificial Flower Wholesale FAQ

Marketplace sellers are buying two different things from a factory like ours: a product that will pass a listing review, and a supply arrangement that will not break a FBA restock cycle. We are set up for both, and we are set up to work at the quantity a seller can actually place on a first order rather than the quantity a factory would prefer. Listing-ready images. We deliver product images on a clean white background with the subject filling the frame, which is the format Amazon requires for the main image. We can also produce additional angles, size reference shots, packaging shots and lifestyle scenes, and we keep the image set for each item number on file so a later order does not need to be re-shot. Where you sell under your own brand, we can send the images with your own style applied, or supply the raw files for your own listing team to adapt. Product data that matches your listing. For each item number we can provide the material, size, flower head count, pot type, weight, carton dimensions, pieces per carton and HS code, so the specification you publish matches the specification that ships. If you have an existing listing that needs matching, send us the listing text and the images and we will tell you which of our references correspond, including the cases where our dimensions differ slightly from your current supplier. Private label and packaging for FBA. We can put your logo, barcode and label on the unit, the inner box and the master carton, and we can produce packaging sized to your fulfilment requirements. For sellers shipping into the EU, note that from 13 December 2024 the General Product Safety Regulation requires an EU-established responsible person, manufacturer contact details and safety warnings on the product, and Amazon checks these three fields before a listing goes live. We supply the manufacturer information, material and test documentation you need for that, and can produce the warning label text for your review. Supply terms that fit a seller cycle. We can quote EXW, FOB or CIF, and we work with your forwarder if you already have one. Payment is normally T/T with a deposit and the balance before shipment, and for repeat orders the specification is already fixed, so re-ordering is a confirmation rather than a negotiation. Lead time is normally 25 to 40 days after sample approval and deposit, and we plan production against your sales cycle rather than ours. Samples are ordered separately from the production MOQ. Assortment without overstocking. A single container can carry several designs and categories, so a seller testing a range does not have to pick one reference and guess. Tell us the SKU mix and the target market, and we will build a mixed container quote that spreads the freight cost across the range. Send us your item list, target quantities and destination country, and we will return a quotation with the image set, packaging scope and product data you need to publish the listing.

Supermarket buyers usually have to satisfy four separate checklists before a line is approved: the product itself, the packaging, the labelling on each unit, and the compliance documents on file. We handle all four inside the same production order so nothing has to be chased separately after the order is placed. Product and packaging for shelf placement. We pack to your specification: export cartons by default, but also retail-ready individual boxes, mail-order cartons, display trays and shrink-wrap so goods can go straight onto a shelf or into a fulfilment centre without repacking on arrival. Carton dimensions, gross weight and pieces per carton are confirmed on the quotation before production, so your warehouse can plan the pallet layout and the container loading in advance. If you need a specific carton size to fit an existing shelf bay, send us the dimensions and we will confirm whether the packing can be adjusted. Unit labelling and barcode requirements. We can apply your own label, barcode and hang tag to each individual piece, or to the inner box, or to the master carton. We work from your artwork file and barcode numbers, and we can produce a draft barcode label for your approval before the bulk run. Our standard practice is to print a barcode draft first and have it checked, because reprinting a pallet of retail-ready goods because one barcode was wrong is an expensive mistake. Barcode positions are confirmed on the packing drawing before production starts. Documents for your supplier file. BSCI audit report, FSC certificate and chain of custody, ISO certificates, material safety data, heavy metal and REACH test reports, and factory audit photos are available on request and can be issued against your order. If your quality department needs a supplier questionnaire completed, or a social compliance audit summary in a specific format, tell us which form you use and we will return it filled in. Replenishment and repeat ordering. Once a design is approved and the specification is written down, repeat orders follow the same specification, so a replenishment order does not need to be re-negotiated from scratch. We keep approved samples on file so a later order can be checked against the original reference, and for seasonal ranges we normally advise placing the order before the peak buying window rather than after it. Send us your item list, target quantities, carton requirement and destination country, and we will return a quotation with the packing, labelling and document scope written into it, not just a unit price. zzartprobe

Our standard MOQ is 1,000 pieces per design and colourway. These are our normal production quantities, not a policy restriction we can simply drop. What we can do is reduce your risk in other ways. A first container can combine several designs toward the same total MOQ, so you can test more than one style in a single shipment instead of committing your full volume to a single reference. If your target quantity for one design is below our minimum, send us your item list with the quantities you need and we will tell you straight away which combinations are workable. For a first order we can also quote a mixed container across categories, so a retailer can cover several shelf positions in one delivery, or a marketplace seller can test a wider assortment without multiplying the shipping cost. Repeat orders do not need to repeat the MOQ discussion once the design and quality specification are approved. Samples are ordered separately from the production MOQ, and we can supply existing stock samples for quality checking while your assortment is still being decided.

Yes. Mixed containers are the normal way to place a first or trial order, and we encourage them. You can combine different flower styles, colours, plant categories and seasonal items in one shipment as long as each design meets its own minimum order quantity. Two practical points help us quote accurately. First, tell us the item numbers and the quantity for each one, so we can calculate carton volume before confirming the container type. Second, keep pot-heavy items and light sprays in proportion — pots take up volume, so a container filled mostly with large potted plants will reach its volume limit before the piece count looks high. Mixed orders usually ship as LCL or as a mixed full container. Our export team can suggest a loading plan and advise whether a 20ft or 40ft container fits your list better.

Send us your item numbers, quantities, packaging requirements and destination port, and our export team will normally reply with a quotation within 24 hours on working days. If your inquiry is urgent, please call or email us directly and mark it as urgent so we can prioritise it. We can quote EXW, FOB or CIF terms depending on how you prefer to arrange shipping. Prices are based on item number, order quantity, packaging and delivery terms, and larger quantities receive tiered pricing. See our artificial flower product range for item numbers, or contact us with your target specification.

Yes. We can send existing samples for quality checking, or produce customized samples according to your design. Sample lead time is usually 5–10 days.

Yes. We can customize flower species, size, color, pot material, logo and packaging. For fully custom designs, we develop new molds in-house.

Send us a physical sample or detailed photos and specifications. We will evaluate it and quote with a proposed material and color matching plan.

Prices are quoted based on item number, quantity, packaging and delivery terms (EXW, FOB or CIF). Bulk quantities enjoy tiered pricing.

Standard terms are T/T with a deposit and balance before shipment. Other arrangements can be discussed for long-term partners.

Usually 25–40 days after sample confirmation and deposit, depending on order size and the production season. Peak season (before Christmas) should be planned earlier.

Each piece is packed to protect petals and leaves during transit, then packed in export cartons. Custom mail-order packaging is available for e-commerce sellers.

Yes. We produce both custom packaging and private label programmes for buyers who sell under their own brand. Custom packaging can range from a printed colour box or mail-order carton with your logo, to shelf-ready display trays and barcoded labels for chain stores. Private label work normally covers the label, hang tag, instruction leaflet and carton printing, so the product arrives ready for your sales channel. Two things affect feasibility. Packaging changes both the unit cost and the carton dimensions, so it should be confirmed before freight is quoted. And artwork, barcode numbers and label wording need to be supplied by you in a production-ready format. Tell us your sales channel and we will propose a packaging level that fits it.

Yes. For markets with specific compliance requirements we can arrange test reports on requested items before shipment, and we support the verification steps professional importers need. Typical requests include material safety documentation, heavy metal and phthalate testing, and reports from recognised third-party laboratories such as SGS, Bureau Veritas or TUV. Because the applicable standard depends on the destination market, tell us the country and the requirement during the inquiry stage rather than at loading — some tests add time to the production schedule. We also accept third-party inspection before shipment against an approved sample, and can provide inspection reports and production photos during the order. Our factory page describes how production and inspection are organised.

Orders can be shipped by sea, by air, or by international express (EMS, UPS, DHL, TNT, FedEx). Sea freight is the most economical choice for full containers and larger mixed orders, while air freight and express are normally used for urgent shipments and samples. We confirm the shipping method, loading port, destination port and estimated transit time with you before the order is placed, and quotations can be issued on EXW, FOB or CIF terms. If you have a preferred forwarder, we are happy to work with them.

We ship from major Chinese ports near Zhejiang, with direct services to Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East and Southeast Asia.

Consistency is controlled by documentation rather than memory. When a sample is approved, we record the item reference, colour, height, material, pot and packaging in the production file, and keep the approved sample on site as the physical standard for that item. Every repeat order is produced against that record. Before loading, the goods are checked against the approved sample, and we can send current production photos on request so you can compare them with your own reference unit before shipment. This is also why we advise buyers to keep one unit from each order. Comparing a new shipment against the previous season's stock is the quickest way to catch the slow drift in colour and proportion that otherwise appears across several years. See our wholesale FAQ for related questions on samples and MOQ.

We keep quality and pricing stable so repeat orders stay predictable, and we assign the same contact person to your account so you do not have to re-explain your requirements each time you order. Approved samples are kept on file, so follow-up orders match the original specification. We also support OEM and ODM projects, allow designs to be mixed in one container to lower the risk of a first order, and share production and shipping updates until the goods arrive at your warehouse.

We export artificial flowers, plants, trees and seasonal items to importers, wholesalers, chain stores, garden centres, e-commerce sellers and project decorators in Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and other regions. Because requirements differ by market, tell us the destination country at the inquiry stage and we will flag anything that affects the quotation — packaging format, labelling, barcode requirements, compliance testing and the port of discharge all change between regions. Goods depart from major Chinese ports near our factory in Zhejiang, with frequent sailings to the main ports worldwide. We quote on EXW, FOB and CIF terms so you can compare landed cost on a like-for-like basis.

We would rather prevent a problem than argue about one, which is why inspection before shipment is part of our standard process and we accept third-party inspection on request. If an issue does appear after delivery, the fastest route to a resolution is a clear record: photographs of the affected cartons and units, the item number, the quantity involved, and the shipping mark. Send these to your contact person and we will investigate against the approved sample and the inspection record for that order. Depending on the finding, the outcome may be a replacement in a following shipment, a credit note, or an agreed adjustment on the next order. Keeping one approved sample on file at both ends makes this process much faster for both sides.
