How it works

From spec to shipment in four steps

  1. Send your spec

    We define the requirement with you: specifications, target cost, volume, timeline and responsibilities.

  2. Get matched factories

    We evaluate the options: identify suitable suppliers and compare the information available.

  3. We follow production

    We coordinate execution: follow agreed milestones and communicate issues promptly.

  4. Inspect before shipping

    We report and review: documented updates that support your decisions on the next steps.

Testimonial

What buyers say about working with us

“Before working with [Founder], every reprint was a gamble on color. He measured every lot against our standard and caught issues before they shipped. Our launches finally stayed on schedule.”
[Name]Sourcing Manager, US packaging importer
“He knows packaging factories from the inside. When a supplier pushed a cheaper board, he caught it at the pre-production sample, not at our warehouse. That alone saved us a full reprint.”
[Name]Head of Operations, EU cosmetics brand
“Clear English, weekly photo reports and no surprises. Managing production in Vietnam finally felt as easy as working with a partner down the street.”
[Name]Founder, Australian e-commerce brand
