Our sales manager Tiven contacted the client, and they gave the product demand to us:
 |
Product name: Bath sponge- bath sponge
Color: Gray / brown Quantity: 3000pcs / color Product requirements: 1. Vacuum packaging, no need for printing 2. Size: 14*12*6cm 3. With lanyard |
Tips: The primary color of natural sponge is brown. Many sponges on the market are yellow, and manufacturers have been decolorized in order to look beautiful. The color will look much better, but the toughness will be reduced, if you want to customize the color, in the production, add the color paste to the raw material to make a colored sponge. It is difficult to dye after the finished product.
- We find the supplier whose quality and cost are in line with the client from 3 factories by factory inspection, and arrange the sample with the size of 14*12*6CM, as shown in the following figure.
