BUYER FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions distributors, wholesalers and brand owners ask most often about MOQ, samples, lead times, packaging and payment for custom art portfolio cases and presentation products.

Company & OEM

Are you a manufacturer or a trading company?

We are a manufacturer. Our factory is in Jiading District, Shanghai, China, and our Taiwan office handles sales communication and project coordination. Our roots in stationery manufacturing date back to 1976.

Do you offer OEM and ODM manufacturing?

Yes. For OEM projects we produce to your size, material, colour, structure, logo and packaging specifications.

For ODM projects we can adapt an existing product from our catalogue or develop a new style based on your target market and price range.

Do you offer private label services?

Yes. We offer both Filex-branded stock products and private-label (OEM) production, including logo application, labels, barcodes, inserts and retail packaging.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

Filex-branded stock items have no MOQ. For private-label (OEM) production, the MOQ is typically 500 to 2,000 pieces per size, depending on the product type and packaging requirements.

Samples & Lead Time

Can I get samples before placing an order?

Yes. A sample fee applies, and it can be credited against your bulk order once the order is confirmed.

How long does sampling take?

Samples usually take 10 to 15 days after the specifications are confirmed.

What is the production lead time?

Mass production usually takes 45 to 60 days after deposit and sample approval. The exact lead time depends on quantity, materials and the level of customisation, and we confirm it in the quotation.

Packaging & Shipping

How are products packed?

Standard packing is an individual PP bag with export cartons. Carton quantities and CBM are listed on each product page.

Custom packaging such as printed inserts, header cards, barcode stickers and colour boxes is available for retail and private-label orders.

What is the shipping port?

Standard shipments depart from Shanghai, China. EXW terms are available on request, and we can consolidate shipments according to your instructions.

Payment & Quotes

What are your payment terms?

A 30% deposit confirms the order. The remaining 70% balance is paid when the goods are ready for shipment.

What information should I include in a quote request?

Please include the product type, size, material, estimated quantity, branding (stock or private label), packaging needs and target timeline. Drawings or reference photos help us quote faster.
