Buying stationery & office supplies from China
Written from the sourcing work we do, not from the suppliers listed above.
- How do you tell a real manufacturer from a trading company?
- Paper converting, printing and binding lines; pen makers additionally need injection moulding and tip assembly. Asking who makes the writing tip separates makers from assemblers immediately.
- What certification is needed to import stationery & office supplies into the EU or US?
- EN 71-3 applies in the EU wherever products reach children, alongside REACH for inks and plastics. The US applies CPSIA to school products and Prop 65 to inks and coatings. Paper claims need FSC or PEFC chain-of-custody documentation.
- What order minimums and tooling costs should I expect?
- Pens commonly start at 10,000 pieces, notebooks at 3,000–5,000. Unit values are low enough that freight, not manufacturing, usually decides landed cost.
- What goes wrong most often in this category?
- Ink skipping and premature dry-out, and paper running under its stated GSM. Weigh a known sheet count on arrival — stated GSM is the least reliable number in this category.
