Capacity planned against the order
Roughly 150,000 pcs a week — about 600,000 a month — across vacuum, coating and assembly lines. Production slots are booked with the order, so the date we quote is the date we plan against.
For Importers & Distributors
Landed cost and delivery dates you can build a plan on.
You are buying volume against a landed-cost target and a delivery window. The product has to be repeatable, the paperwork has to be clean, and the date has to hold.
What You Are Usually Solving
The Brief We Hear Most Often
- A repeatable unit, so the approved sample and production run stay aligned
- Landed cost we can calculate before we commit
- Documents matched to the product and destination market
- A production date that does not slip after we sell it on
What We Provide
How We Answer It
Every point below is something we can put in writing on a quotation — not a brochure line. If one of them does not fit your programme, say so and we will tell you whether it can be changed.
The Detail
What That Looks Like In Practice
Terms to suit your chain
FOB and CIF to any port, or DDP for a defined list of destination countries with duty, tax, clearance and remote-area surcharges broken out as separate lines. We will quote the same order on more than one basis so you can compare the landed figure properly.
Per-order inspection records
Material verification, in-process checks and pre-shipment inspection to an agreed AQL plan, with photos and a written report issued before release.
Mixed containers and repeats
Different models and colours in one container, with carton marking and retail packing arranged to your own requirement.

Sourcing Checklist
Six Things To Ask Before You Commit
Not our claims — the questions that separate a programme that repeats from one that restarts. Every one of them has an answer on this site, and the answer is worth getting in writing rather than in an email thread.
- 01
Ask for the carton drawing with dimensions and gross weight before you price the freight — the container maths is built from those, not from the product.
- 02
Ask which compliance set applies to each destination you sell into, since it differs by market.
- 03
Ask what the mixed-SKU loading looks like, because a distribution order is never one model.
- 04
Ask for the inspection plan and the AQL level, and who pays for a third-party inspection.
- 05
Ask what is archived against the order number, because that is what protects you on a claim two shipments later.
- 06
Ask for the export document set as a list, so nothing arrives later than you expected.
Before You Ask
Questions Buyers Like You Ask
Can you supply several markets from one order?
The product can be the same; the paperwork cannot. One order ships under one bill of lading to one consignee, and goods going to several warehouses are normally handled as separate shipments or as a fulfilment arrangement after arrival. What does change per market is the compliance set, so give us the destinations and we will map them rather than shipping a generic pack.
How do I price the freight before the order is placed?
From the carton, not from the unit. Ask for the carton drawing and the gross weight, then the loading plan follows — and note that on dense drinkware the weight limit of a container usually binds before the volume limit does. There is a container-loading calculator on the resources page for an estimate.
What is the position on mixed models in one container?
Normal on a distribution order. Two things move: the minimum, because it is counted per colour and per model, and the packing plan, because the carton count is what the loading calculation is built from. Both are worth settling at the enquiry stage.
Can you drop-ship to a marketplace warehouse?
We ship to the address on the order, including a marketplace fulfilment centre, and the carton and label specification is built to what that requires. Raise it in the enquiry rather than after production, because the pack is decided before the run rather than after it.
