Working with suppliers in this city
Tool buyers should confirm the steel grade, hardness range and surface finish, and ask for the salt-spray test result for plated items. Bag buyers should agree on fabric denier, zipper and wheel specifications, and request a drop and pull test before shipment. Both clusters are strong on private label, but artwork and packaging approvals should be locked before mass production starts.
