—How We Work

From Raw Steel to Your Doorstep

Our streamlined 6-step process ensures quality at every stage, transparent communication and on-time delivery — whether placing a trial run or a full production batch.

01 Inquiry & Requirements

Submit your enquiry with desired quantities, target market, design references and budget range. Our sales engineers respond within 24 hours with a preliminary quotation and technical feasibility assessment for both standard and OEM/ODM projects.

02 Sample Development

For new designs, our in-house tooling team creates precision dies and produces physical pre-production samples within 10–15 working days. You evaluate actual samples before committing to mass production. Sample costs are credited against your first order.

03 Production & QC

Our five-stage QC process covers: incoming raw material inspection, in-process dimensional checks, surface-finish grading, weight verification and pre-shipment inspection (PSI) per AQL 2.5 standards. Third-party inspection (SGS, Bureau Veritas) is welcomed.

04 Custom Packaging

In-house packaging capabilities include full-colour printed boxes, blister cards, retail hang-tags, polybags, wooden presentation cases and branded tissue paper. Artwork setup, structural engineering and prototyping included in our OEM service.

05 Export Compliance & Documentation

We prepare all export documentation: commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin (Form A, EUR.1), material test reports, food-contact compliance certificates (FDA, LFGB, REACH) and destination-specific certificates for EU, US, UK and Australian customs.

06 Shipping & After-Sales

We ship via Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Shanghai ports by sea (FCL/LCL) or air freight. DDP delivery available for hassle-free import. A dedicated account manager handles warranty claims, replacement requests and future reorders after every shipment.

—Materials & Quality

Steel Grades We Work With

Choosing the right grade is critical for durability, corrosion resistance and price positioning. We advise clients on the optimal specification for their end-use and target market.

Premium

Standard

Value

Specialty

18/10 Steel

18% chromium, 10% nickel. Superior corrosion resistance, brilliant mirror lustre and outstanding long-term durability. The gold standard for fine dining, hotels and luxury retail. Ideal for high-frequency dishwasher use.

18/0 Steel

18% chromium, no nickel. Highly magnetic, ideal for induction-ready flatware. More economical than 18/10 while meeting all food-safety standards. Popular in mass-market retail, fast food and catering supply chains.

13/0 Steel

13% chromium entry-level grade for price-sensitive markets. Suitable for promotional gifts and low-frequency-use applications. Fully food-safe and corrosion-resistant under normal household conditions.

PVD Colour

Physical Vapour Deposition coating over 18/10 base. Available in black, gold, rose gold and gunmetal. Scratch-resistant, tarnish-proof and dishwasher-safe — increasingly popular for premium restaurant branding.
