Wholesale Lots Private Label Carton: Alloy, Karat and the Cost of a Color Change - HOLYCOME
Wholesale Lots: tolerances, cost structure and the reject rule for US wholesale buyers.
Why the Private Label Carton Quote Looks Cheap Until It Lands
Two buyers ordered the same wholesale Lot in the same month. One paid 9% less and absorbed 23 rejects out of 200 pieces; the other paid our quote and shipped clean. The difference was prong geometry, and it was measurable on both benches, with GRA report and private-label carton with hangtag stated on the same sheet.
Nothing in that rejection was exotic. At USD 45-252 per piece and 200 pieces on the order, a prong geometry rate of two percent is a costing error rather than a quality mystery.
Cost of the fix was about 22 seconds per piece. On 200 pieces that is a few hours at the bench and the whole claim file disappears, priced at USD 45-252 for the 200-piece Private Label Carton run.
The Measurements Behind a USD 45-252 Quote
Four numbers separate a 200-piece run that clears inspection from one that generates a credit note. None of them appears on the sample photo, shipped as private-label carton with hangtag and certified GRA report.
| Spec point | Common trade output | HOLYCOME standard | Cost if missed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stone colour consistency | Graded by eye under D65 | Colour matched to a retained master stone, per tray | Repeat colour complaint in the same SKU |
| Sizing drift across the run | Not measured | Go/no-go gauge on every size, drift held under 0.15 mm | Resize queue and reship cost |
| Clasp spring life | Sampled by hand | Cycled 500 times on a jig per lot | Detach claim and brand damage |
| Prong tension and seat depth | Checked by feel at the bench | Pull-tested per piece, seat depth written on the sheet | Stone loss and total replacement |
None of these are premium features. They cost seconds per piece and they remove the reason a buyer has to inspect twice, certified GRA report and packed private-label carton with hangtag at 200 pieces, quoted at USD 45-252 per piece in private-label carton with hangtag.
Private Label Packaging for wholesale Lots
Private label changes four things and none of them is the piece: the stamp, the hangtag, the box and the barcode. Get those four aligned before the first bulk run or the carton arrives with your name spelled two ways, and at USD 45-252 for 200 pieces that is the number the buyer signs.
The stamp goes inside the shank or on the clasp tag, and it has to be small enough not to break the surface on a thin wholesale Lot. Below 0.8 mm of shank width we recommend the hangtag only, certified GRA report and packed private-label carton with hangtag at 200 pieces.
Cartons are quoted at 200 pieces with the label printed, not stickered, because a sticker on a matte box reads as a repack. Lead time adds three days for the print run, which is why private label starts later than stock, with GRA report and private-label carton with hangtag stated on the same sheet.
What a USD 45-252 Quote Hides
The cost of a wholesale Lot in the USD 45-252 band splits roughly as below. The line buyers challenge most is labor, and it is the line that decides whether the piece survives a season.
| Cost line | Share | What moves it |
|---|---|---|
| Base metal or alloy for wholesale Lots | 34% | Alloy choice and casting yield |
| Stone or melee for wholesale Lots | 25% | Sieve range and lot batching |
| Setting and finishing labor for wholesale Lots | 22% | Jig design and bench minutes |
| Plating, polish and QC for wholesale Lots | 15% | Per-tray versus per-piece checks |
| Packaging for wholesale Lots | 4% | private-label carton with hangtag |
If a supplier will not break out the five lines above, the number you are comparing is not a price. It is a total that somebody else assembled from assumptions, shipped as private-label carton with hangtag and certified GRA report, which is USD 45-252 on the Private Label Carton schedule.
What Fails First on wholesale Lots
size-step drift
A run gauged at size 6 and estimated elsewhere ships a size 8 that measures 7.75. The mismatch shows up as a resize queue two weeks after launch, and 200 pieces leaves Wuzhou in private-label carton with hangtag at USD 45-252.
In a 200-piece run this typically shows on 11 of pieces. Catching it means measuring stone retention after a 40-cycle wear test at the tray level, not inspecting the finished carton, priced at USD 45-252 for the 200-piece Private Label Carton run.
prong geometry
A prong that grips the girdle instead of the pavilion survives the showroom and fails the third ultrasonic clean. The seat has to be cut to the pavilion angle before the prongs close, and at USD 45-252 for 200 pieces that is the number the buyer signs.
The commercial effect is a return shipment plus a resize labor claim, typically USD 9-14 per piece. Buyers who have seen it once put it in the purchase order; buyers who have not usually discover it on the first return, the figure being USD 45-252 for a 200-piece run.
rhodium burn-off
A 0.05 micron rhodium layer reads white in the tray and shows yellow at the shank in six months of daily wear. Thickness, not bath chemistry, is the variable that matters, certified GRA report and packed private-label carton with hangtag at 200 pieces.
Our countermeasure is a gauge and a written limit. It adds about 22 seconds per piece and removes the defect from the run rather than from the carton, on a 200-piece Private Label Carton order at USD 45-252.
MOQ, Samples and the Balance
The commercial frame is short enough to state in full. Minimum order is 50 pieces per design, and mixed designs travel in one shipment, so a 200-piece Private Label Carton order can carry three or four models without a separate setup charge. Sample pieces leave in 3-5 days when the components are in stock, and a new model adds about twenty days before the first article exists, which the Private Label Carton file records at USD 45-252 in private-label carton with hangtag.
Payment is 30 percent with the order and 70 percent against the bill of lading, with the balance window stated on the invoice rather than agreed by message. Prices quoted at USD 45-252 are FOB Guangzhou or Shenzhen; DDP is quoted separately because the duty line moves with the tariff schedule and not with our cost.
Packing follows the private-label carton with hangtag format at 200 pieces to the carton, and the packing list carries SKU, size and stone size so receiving can count without opening every box. Private-label cartons add three days for the print run and must be approved before the first bulk order, not after it, and at USD 45-252 for 200 pieces that is the number the buyer signs.
Certification is GRA report for the lots that carry it, with a batch report and per-piece measurement of stone retention after a 40-cycle wear test for the lots below the threshold. The document set travels with the shipping papers, which is what a customs broker asks for at the port rather than after clearance, on a 200-piece Private Label Carton order at USD 45-252.
A rejected tray is settled inside the same order cycle against the retained reference piece. If the difference sits on our retained sample we replace or credit; if it appeared in transit we split the assay cost and file with the carrier, and that rule is written on the order before the deposit clears, and the Private Label Carton quote for it sits at USD 45-252.
The Sample Approval That Survives Production
The number is less interesting than the rule behind it, and wholesale Lots is where that rule gets tested, which is how the Private Label Carton account reads it at USD 45-252.
The commercial version of this question for wholesale Lots is simple: what does a failure cost the buyer, and who pays it. In our terms the answer is a replacement inside the same order cycle, with the retained reference tray as the arbiter, which the Private Label Carton file records at USD 45-252 in private-label carton with hangtag.
That clause matters more than a discount on wholesale Lots. A 4% lower unit price disappears on the first rejected tray; a written responsibility clause does not, the figure being USD 45-252 for a 200-piece run.
How the Second Order Becomes Cheaper
Ask three suppliers of wholesale Lots this question and you will get three answers. Only one of them survives an inspection, and 200 pieces leaves Wuzhou in private-label carton with hangtag at USD 45-252.
We run this check per tray rather than per carton because the defect that matters on wholesale Lots is the one that repeats. A single odd piece is noise; a pattern across one tray is a process problem and it will be in every tray made after it, certified GRA report and packed private-label carton with hangtag at 200 pieces.
The report the buyer receives states the count per tray, the measured average and the outlier count for wholesale Lots. It is deliberately unglamorous, and it is the document that settles most disputes before they start, and the Private Label Carton quote for it sits at USD 45-252.
From Spec to private-label carton with hangtag
The calendar below is what we quote on a 200-piece Private Label Carton run of wholesale Lots. It starts when the spec is signed, not when the deposit clears, and at USD 45-252 for 200 pieces that is the number the buyer signs.
- Agree the stamp position, the hangtag copy and the box print before the first carton.
- Print the cartons and hangtags in one run: a sticker on a matte box reads as a repack.
- Set the barcode and the FNSKU mapping for every SKU before the label file is approved.
- Build the first carton at the quoted quantity so the pack-out is proven, not assumed.
- Hold a retained carton as the pack reference for every reorder.
A first order of 50 pieces is a measurement, not a purchase. It tells you what stone retention after a 40-cycle wear test looks like from this bench, which is USD 45-252 on the Private Label Carton schedule.
A 200-Piece Test Run
At 200 pieces inside private-label carton with hangtag, the first order reads sell-through without betting the season on one model, certified GRA report and packed private-label carton with hangtag at 200 pieces.
Buyers who run that measurement before committing a season usually keep the supplier. Buyers who skip it usually pay twice for the same lesson, and 200 pieces leaves Wuzhou in private-label carton with hangtag at USD 45-252.
The Dock Check on wholesale Lots
We ship from Guangzhou or Shenzhen and pick the port on the carrier rate, not on habit. GRA report travels with the shipping documents, which is how the Private Label Carton account reads it at USD 45-252.
DDP removes the duty invoice that arrives after the carton clears, which matters on a first Private Label Carton order at USD 45-252.
Three steps at the dock: count against the packing list, weigh a sample tray, measure ten pieces. None needs a lab, priced at USD 45-252 for the 200-piece Private Label Carton run.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order for wholesale Lots?
50 pieces per wholesale Lot. Designs mix inside one shipment, so a first order of three designs at 50 pieces each is normal for a new US account. Below 50 the gauge check stops being independent of the shift, which the Private Label Carton file records at USD 45-252 in private-label carton with hangtag.
Do you supply certificates for wholesale Lots?
GRA report on wholesale Lots above the threshold stated on the quote. Below it we supply a batch report plus per-piece measurement of stone retention after a 40-cycle wear test, which is what a counter or a listing actually needs, and at USD 45-252 for 200 pieces that is the number the buyer signs.
How do you handle a rejected tray?
We replace or credit inside the same order cycle. The retained reference tray decides: if prong geometry shows on our retained piece we own it, and if it appeared in transit we split the assay cost and file with the carrier, which is how the Private Label Carton account reads it at USD 45-252.
What are the payment terms?
30 percent deposit with the order, 70 percent against the bill of lading. For accounts on a second order we quote 30/70 with a 15-day balance window once the first shipment has cleared, which is how the Private Label Carton account reads it at USD 45-252.
What is the minimum order for wholesale Lots?
