Frequently asked questions

Can we audit the factory or send a third-party inspector?

Yes. We are an SGS-audited supplier (report QIP-ASI265308, verifiable on SGS's website), and buyers can arrange their own pre-shipment inspection through an appointed agency. Our trading record is also public: 4.7 out of 5 from 73 Alibaba buyer reviews, with 97.2% of orders dispatched on time.

Which production steps happen in your own workshop?

Printing, foil stamping, die-cutting, laminating and box-making all happen in-house in our 3,000 m2 workshop in Qingdao, staffed by 46 people. Keeping these steps under one roof means the team that prints your sheets also assembles your boxes, so colour, foil registration and fit are checked against one standard.

How is quality controlled on a production run?

Control starts before production: nothing runs until you sign the pre-production sample. During the run we check printing, foil and assembly in line, and every finished box is inspected before packing — a 100% finished-product inspection. Raw materials are traceable, so any issue can be followed back to its batch.

How are finished calendars packed for export?

Finished calendars are packed flat or assembled, depending on the structure, into export cartons sized for sea or air freight. We supply commercial invoices and packing lists with every shipment. Incoterms include FOB, EXW, CFR, CIF, DAP and DDP, so you can choose factory-gate, port or door delivery.

How quickly will we get a quote, and who handles our order?

Send a reference case number, quantities and your timeline, and we reply with a sampling plan and MOQ pricing within one business day. On Alibaba our average first response is under one hour. Questions during production are answered by the same export team that follows sampling, so context is never lost.

Can you still deliver if we order in the September–October peak?

Yes, if sampling is approved in time. Custom calendars need 25–35 days of mass production after sample approval, and our on-time dispatch rate is 97.2%. Standard boxes are produced within 15 workdays even in peak season. The risk is never the factory slot — it is late artwork approval, so lock designs early.
