B2B Sourcing, Capacity & Compliance Guide
This guide explains the information procurement teams should confirm when sourcing custom bags and towels through Changzhou Henry Outdoor Products Co., Ltd. Final capacity, specifications, documents, prices and delivery terms are confirmed in the quotation and order documents for each project.
1. Capacity Planning
Capacity depends on product construction, approved materials, quantity, season and delivery window. Buyers should confirm the production site and written schedule for the specific order:
- Production Site: Confirm which facility will cut, print, sew, inspect and pack the order.
- Capacity Reservation: Obtain a schedule tied to sample approval, material readiness and deposit date.
- Critical Processes: Identify any outsourced printing, dyeing, testing or specialist hardware operations.
- Contingency: Agree how material delays, rejected components or peak-season capacity changes will be communicated.
2. Design R&D and Prototyping Standards
We welcome custom tech-packs from your in-house creative teams. To secure maximum printing resolution and embroidery alignment, please adhere to the following design submission guidelines:
- Acceptable File Formats: Adobe Illustrator (.AI), vector PDF, CDR, or layered PSD.
- Technical Requirements: All texts must be converted to curves/outlines. Resolution must be at least 300 DPI.
- Color Space Specification: CMYK color space. Please specify exact Pantone solid coated codes for critical brand colors.
- Prototyping Timeline:
- Digital Mockups: Timing is confirmed after artwork and specifications are complete.
- Physical Samples: Timing depends on material availability, custom color, tooling and construction complexity.
3. Third-Party Audits & Compliance
Audit and certificate claims must be checked against the relevant entity, factory, material or product. Request current copies before relying on a document:
- Factory Audits: Confirm the audited site, audit owner, date, result and validity period.
- Material Documents: Match any OEKO-TEX, GRS or other material document to the supplier and material used for the order.
- Quality Systems: Confirm which legal entity and production site are covered by any ISO certificate.
- Third-Party Testing: Product-specific physical or chemical testing can be discussed according to destination-market requirements.
4. International Trade & Payment Guidelines
We strive to provide maximum operational safety and clear commercial pathways for our B2B trade partners:
- Supported Incoterms: We standardly quote and ship via EXW, FOB (Shanghai/Ningbo), CFR, and CIF. We also offer reliable DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) sea/air options for startup fitness brands looking for seamless door-to-door delivery.
- Supported Secure Payment Methods:
- T/T (Telegraphic Transfer / Bank Wire Transfer): Handled through our official corporate accounts, with flexible contract terms negotiated case-by-case based on order volume.
- Platform Order Options: Where available, platform-based order protection follows the platform's current terms and the final transaction agreement.
5. Quality Control and Inspection Planning
The inspection method should be agreed before production and matched to the product risk, order value and buyer requirements:
- AQL Sampling: AQL levels and inspection scope can be specified by the buyer or third-party inspector before shipment.
- Incoming Materials: Confirm color, weight, composition and any required performance checks before cutting.
- Physical Performance Metrics:
- Colorfastness: Define the test method and target grade for the approved fabric and print process.
- Hardware Durability: Define zipper, buckle, handle and load checks according to intended use.
- Pre-Shipment Inspections: Confirm access, timing, inspection scope and responsibility for independent third-party inspections in the purchase order.
6. Environmental Sustainability & Recycled Materials (RPET)
Recycled material options may be available. Environmental claims should be used only when supported by documents covering the relevant supplier, material and transaction:
- RPET Bag Materials: Confirm recycled content, coating, lining and transaction-document requirements before quotation.
- Recycled Towel Materials: Compare sample hand feel, absorbency, printing and drying performance with the conventional alternative.
