3. Manufacturers receive foreign orders for sample processing (some need to make their own plates). The fabrics, auxiliary materials and production technology selected for this kind of finished products need to be confirmed by foreign businessmen before mass production. Foreign businessmen are not excluded from imitating first-line brands, but marks are not included. Generally marked according to foreign independent brands.

4. Some manufacturers sell goods according to the market or imitate finished products by first-and second-tier brands.

Such products are commonly known as "foreign trade goods". Generally speaking, the quality of the first three kinds of finished products is relatively reliable. Except for the different fabrics, the production process of the same manufacturer is the same, while the quality of the fourth finished product is uneven, which is hard to say. It is necessary to ask a question mark. Many small manufacturers rely on these things to fish in troubled waters, mainly depending on what the manufacturers produce, what kind of fabric accessories they choose and how the production process is.

Price difference between imported fabrics and domestic fabrics with the same general parameters (such as waterproof coefficient/tolerance/air permeability, etc.). ) is about twice as much, so the production cost is also much different. And what kind of accessories to choose, what kind of production technology to adopt, and the process of finished product inspection. , directly affect the price of goods.

It should be noted that the remaining finished products of brand goods mass-produced by manufacturers are not foreign trade goods, but tail goods, the so-called tail orders.

In order to prevent the defective products in the production process from affecting the normal delivery, manufacturers usually produce more finished products than the order quantity, so it is best to buy such products.
