Where Dongguan sits in packaging & printing

Before you request a quote
Packaging suppliers are spread across Guangdong and Zhejiang. For export orders, confirm FSC or food-contact certification early — retrofitting compliance mid-project is expensive.
What to put in the RFQ
Most price gaps between Dongguan suppliers come from the brief, not from the factory. Include these and the comparison gets honest:
- Drawing or spec sheet, with tolerances and the critical dimensions marked.
- Material grade and any substitution you would accept.
- Surface finish, colour reference and packaging method.
- Sample quantity, trial order quantity and expected annual volume.
- Certification the product must carry, and who pays for the testing.
- Trade term and destination port, so freight is priced the same way.
- Required delivery date, plus how much slip you can absorb.
- Inspection method: who inspects, at what stage, and against which standard.
How to check a supplier before you pay a deposit
Company names in a directory tell you who exists; they do not tell you who can actually run your order. In Dongguan the checks that catch most problems are the boring ones: the business licence name matches the factory address on the contract, a live video walk-through shows the machines the process needs rather than a showroom, and the test report is issued for the material you specified rather than a generic certificate. Put the inspection stage, the acceptance standard and the payment split into the contract — a 30/70 split against a pre-shipment inspection is normal, full payment up front is not.
