Solve Packaging Problems for Product “Naughty Knot”

Recently, one of our customers asks us to help him source 1000 pcs of “Naughty Knot”. He had purchased this product in Germany before. It had a delicate packaging box and colored stickers with product information stuck on them. He knows that the German supplier must import the product from China.

When he contacted us, the customer categorically said that he needed his company Logo and information printed on the box. However, we found out that all Naughty Knot suppliers in China don’t provide packaging boxes. So, it seems the German supplier bought the gift boxes from other gift packaging suppliers.

The factory we contacted had never provided packaging boxes for this product before. In addition, this was a small order and as such, the factory didn’t want to get involved with buying these boxes from box suppliers.

In this regard, we came up with two solutions for our customer:

Solution 1: First, we can buy the gift boxes from the box supplier, which will be similar to what he had bought before. These probably need $0.37 each. We will then find a print shop to print the stickers with our customer’s customized designs and stick them on the box. This will cost us around $0.06 each. Ultimately, the packaging box will be identical to the customer’s sample that came from the German supplier.

Solution2: Alternatively, we can use a normal box. With such a box, it’s easy to directly print a customer’s design on the box without the need for a sticker. Of course, the quality of the box will not be as good as that of the gift box; but the price will be much cheaper, costing around $0.14 each.

Then, the customer chose the first solution mainly because the previously packaged products he bought sold well. He felt that if he changed to a cheaper packaging option, the sales of the product will go down as well. He chose to use the same packaging boxes as before.

If this customer had never dealt with this product before, we would have recommended solution 2. This is mainly because the cost is much lower, and the box can be designed into any shape he wants. In addition, printing any design or information on the box is easier, for instance, the product’s user manual.

Last month, a customer from Romania found us to source LED lights for over 100 rooms of the hotel, including table lamp, ceiling lamp, bathroom lamp, floor lamp, and welcome light. He also emphasized the importance of high quality.

Guzhen, a small town situated in Zhongshan city, Guangdong Province, is well-known for producing all kinds of lighting, thousands of small and big factories all related to lighting in one way or the other are located there. We also got several cooperated suppliers there.

We checked the room design and lighting details which the customer sent us, found that the hotel wants to highlight its comfort by giving customers the feeling of home. Following this concept, we sourced many similar designs, then pick up several styles for one kind of lighting.

Our customer replied very soon with his satisfaction with the ceiling lamps and bathroom lamps. For table lamp and floor lamp, he wants the lights to be warmer and softer, and for welcome light, he still needs to keep finding because he thought the quality could be higher. After 3 days, we finally reached an agreement with the styles we resourced.

We just received the customer’s deposit today, and the production of all lighting is now proceeding. The inspection and shipping can be done in 20 days.
