    Creating barcodes

    Can anyone point me in the right direction of how to go about this? We are private labelling. Currently creating our branding and labelling. Am aware that one needs to be careful and ensure that the barcode is bought outright. And then that there are apps which can be downloaded to check...

    Is this a strange way of paying a Chinese supplier?

    @MY OFFICE IN CHINA Nothing other than a quality check. They've said we shouldn't need a factory evaluation if the products are confirmed OK quality wise. Something you can help us with!?

    Is this a strange way of paying a Chinese supplier?

    In all honesty I am probably going to have to succumb and just go down a rigid cardboard box style but I find it so hard to believe that there isn't anyone out there - UK based, or even Europe - that can do tube cylinder boxes with a low MOQ for less than 30 quid a box.

    Is this a strange way of paying a Chinese supplier?

    @Chris Ashdown We have about a grand a month marketing initially. We have a very defined niche, pregnant and postnatal women. @MY OFFICE IN CHINA The shipping cost I have queried because it's ridiculous. The USD12 per box isn't as ludicrous as it sounds when NO uk company will touch it for...

    Sorry should’ve read Harrods’ suppliers.

    Is this a strange way of paying a Chinese supplier?

    @Chris Ashdown Because the skincare market is saturated with standard rectangular boxes. One of our different features is the packaging, and the tubular style differentiates. There are 1000s of them available in China but again higher MOQ/s and the shipping on our low number kills it. They...

    Sorry I should've been clearer. It's the packaging that house those bottles, the outer boxes. In this case we want tube boxes. But thanks though for that link.

    Cosmetic packaging boxes - UK supplier

    Can anyone recommend a UK based supplier that will produce either bespokely made boxes with low MOQs (happy to pay more if they're quality and can do lower MOQ) or for standard off the shelf packaging for cosmetic products please. Our sizing is not unusual, we have bog standard 100g cleanser...

    Is this a strange way of paying a Chinese supplier?

    Ok so I have researched this to the nth degree for hours over the past 48 hours. My agent in China will do a factory check, and can also do a quality check of the stock. He says however that the former wouldn't really be necessary if no payment is made up front for the goods and the agent...

    Is this a strange way of paying a Chinese supplier?

    I have an agent that will do a quality check on the products. This guy has said he will agree to no payment from me until the agent has done his quality check, and he will also do the dummy up front without payment. The package is likely to be 8kgs (I am told), he has quoted DHL $250. It is...

    The meeting with the sourcing agent btw is to see how far I can string this guy along.

    Is this a strange way of paying a Chinese supplier?

    I agree with all of this! He's now agreed to meet with our sourcing agent (which we're looking to appoint on a quality control basis only). It's tube / cylinder style packaging. But the first order is VERY low MOQ, I'm talking a total of 70-100 units, with 4 different designs. Second order...

    Is this a strange way of paying a Chinese supplier?

    This is the latest... The bank still not confirm a firmly date to us yet, they just need us submit various document for their audit. It is fine to ask your agent in Shenzhen to visit our company. You can ask them contact me at 136-3198-2176 anytime. [I said I was considering appointing an...
