Standard MOQ is 500 pcs per SKU for chairs, lighting and small accessories; tents, canopies and sleeping systems run 300–500 pcs depending on fabric colorway. For stocked items we accept 500 pcs mixed across SKUs in the same container. OEM custom designs start from 500 pcs.

Shelter fabrics are 190T–300D polyester with 3,000 mm hydrostatic-head PU coatings; furniture frames are EN 581-2 static load tested (120 kg chairs, 150 kg cots); tent fabric options carry CPAI-84 / EN 591 flame-retardant ratings; food-contact items are LFGB compliant; electronics are CE / RoHS / UN38.3 certified.

Yes. We offer custom colorways on tents, chairs and hammocks, woven or printed labels with your brand, full custom print on canopy tops and walls, private-label retail packaging (color boxes, hang tags, shelf trays), and neutral packaging for traders. Custom designs start from 500 pcs with a pre-production sample approved by you before mass production.

Yes — single units of stocked items are free; you only pay the courier charge (we use your DHL/FedEx account if available). Sample lead time is 3–5 days, and the courier cost is refunded against your first order.

Stocked items: 15–20 days after deposit. Custom designs: 25–30 days including sample approval and fabric procurement. We ship FOB Ningbo or Shanghai, and can quote CIF/DDP for major ports. A 40HQ container holds roughly 1,200–1,500 dome tents or 3,500–4,000 quad chairs depending on the mix.

Yes — mixed-SKU 20GP/40HQ loading is our standard service for distributors. Combine tents, furniture, sleeping gear, kitchen and lighting in one shipment to build a full assortment with a single freight cost, loaded to 68+ CBM utilization with photo-documented loading.

We provide EN 581-2 load test reports, CPAI-84 / EN 591 flame-retardancy certificates for shelter fabric, LFGB food-contact results for camp kitchen items, CE / RoHS / UN38.3 for lighting and electronics, plus BSCI / SEDEX social audit certificates and ISO 9001. Full document packs support retail-chain and procurement audits.

Yes — tent and tarp fabrics are PU coated to a 3,000 mm hydrostatic head with factory seam-taped floors and rainfly ridgelines, verified by batch hydrostatic testing. Pole systems are fiberglass or aluminum with color-coded clips; every batch sample is pitched and sprayed in our testing bay before packing.

Yes. We produce under your brand with custom colorways, private-label packaging, printed cartons and pallet wrapping from 500 pcs. Neutral packaging is also available for traders who prefer it. Our studio product photography can be licensed for your listings.

Every batch passes fabric, load and dimensional checks in our lab: hydrostatic tests on shelter fabric, EN 581 static load tests on furniture frames, battery-cycle tests on lighting, and two-way valve checks on self-inflating pads. Pre-shipment we send you production photos, a loading video, and third-party inspection (SGS/BV/TÜV) can be arranged at your cost if required.

Standard terms: 30% TT deposit, 70% against B/L copy. Irrevocable LC at sight is accepted for orders above USD 20,000. We also support Alibaba Trade Assurance orders.

We currently ship to 35+ countries with the largest volumes to the United States, Germany, Japan, Brazil and Australia, and we are familiar with each market's import documentation, labeling and test requirements (CPAI-84 for the US, EN 581 / REACH for the EU, PSE-adjacent conventions for Japan).

It depends on three variables: product type, material grade and order volume. As a factory-direct reference: accessories like headlamps and lanterns sit at the entry tier; 600D furniture and anodized cookware cost 20-40% more due to material certification; tents and canopies bundle at the best per-piece cost in full containers. Ordering a full 40 ft HQ container typically cuts unit price and freight per unit by about 25-35% versus mixed LCL shipments. Send us your product list, target quantities and destination port — we reply with an FOB quote within 24 hours.

For budget-driven buyers, start with lanterns, headlamps and hammocks as your entry SKUs, reserve EN 581-tested furniture and comfort-rated sleep systems for quality-positioned programs, and add dome tents as your hero margin SKU. Mixed-SKU container loading lets you test 5-8 product lines with one freight cost. Plan packing efficiency — KD-packed chairs and compressed sleeping bags ship 3-4× more units per container than rigid packing.

Three hidden drivers: fabric specification (a genuine 3,000 mm PU coating with seam-taping costs more than a 1,500 mm spray that leaks in the first storm — always ask for hydrostatic test data), frame engineering (EN 581-tested steel and aluminum frames survive seasons; thin tubes fail at the joints), and compliance (CPAI-84 / CE / UN38.3 certified components cost more but protect your retail program from audit failures). Comparing quotes on photos alone often backfires in this category.

Yes — tent fabrics are 190T–300D polyester with 3,000 mm hydrostatic-head PU coatings and factory seam-taped floors; fiberglass poles are 8.5 mm+ with steel stakes; floors are 120 g/m² PE with welded seams.
