Usually foreign customers will ask if your have your own factory? Because they think it can save time and have the advantage price directly purchasing from factory. Maybe in some industries like daily necessities and electronic products, it is much better to purchase from factories. However, the products are mainly custom-made, such as wooden boxes, jewelry boxes, watch boxes, knife boxes, tea boxes, etc. In fact, purchasing from professional trading companies is usually more convenient and efficient, and the cost is not high either. Meanwhile, it can save time and energy.
There are many factories that produce wooden boxes, but they are usually small to medium-sized. The owner of these factories are responsible for all matters, such as purchasing materials, customer service, and production management themselves. They are busy every day, so many of them prefer to take orders from trading companies and focus on production.
Trading companies, especially those focusing on wooden box packaging and wooden products, have the advantage of being familiar with material selection and production processes. In particular, the boss of such companies may have previously worked in factories before transitioning to a trading role as a factory agent. They have established long-term partnerships with various factories, having a deep understanding of the quality and production capacity of these factories. Additionally, they are good at communicate with clients, which increases efficiency and allows them to select the most suitable factory for their clients.
The win-win cooperation mode among factories, trading companies and customers is also a very good choice.
