The main thing to know upfront is the 500-piece MOQ per design — that's not for someone testing with a dozen units, it's for buyers who already know their volume needs and have shelf space to fill.
But for procurement folks placing regular orders, this actually works well because teh 7-day lead time on stock designs means you can restock fast, and the 35-40 day custom timeline is pretty standard for OEM work — we've seen worse, honestly.

You're getting FSC-certified natural wood and MDF here, with ASTM F963-96a and EN71 certs — the 4-stage qualiy control process catches issues before they ship, so you're not dealing with returns on safety violations (usually 2-4 weeks for COAs if you ask).
A 20' container holds about 9,600 pieces or 400 cartons, and the 60×40×35cm box dimensions are what you'd expect — but what's less obvious is the 1-year quality guarantee, which covers manufacturing defects, not wear form kids chewing on them (that's on the buyer).

Also, pre-production samples are provided, so you can verify color and fit before committing to the full run — most buyers go with standdard color gift box, but customization on packaing and features is available if your brand needs it.
Basically, it's not for low-volume trials, but for steady procurement, the documentation and inspection process save headaches — just confirm lead time on custom orders, as it can stretch to 40 days or so during peak seasons.
MOQ is 500 pieces per design. If you want custom packaging on top of that, we can usually include it in the same MOQ as long as the design is consistent.
Yes, we provide pre-production samples so you can check the quality and look before we move to full production.
They are ASTM F963-96a, EN71, and CE certified, so they meet US, European, and international safety standards for kids 3-8 years old.
For custom designs, lead time is 35-40 days. Stock designs ship in 7 days. That's from order confirmation to dispatch.
The natural wood used in the blocks is FSC-certified. We also use MDF in some pieces, but the primary wood material meets FSC standards for responsible sourcing.
