What exactly does Great Union Packaging do?
Great Union Packaging 具体是做什么的?
Great Union Packaging is a Hong Kong–registered supply chain project manager and strategic investment partner that develops, sources, and manufactures branded products for North American and European brand owners. We manage the complete program — design, sourcing, sampling, production, QC, compliance, and logistics — across six divisions: Packaging, Garment, Textiles, Retail Display, Party & Gifts, and Pet Supplies, spanning 500+ product lines and 20+ markets.
Great Union Packaging 是在香港注册的供应链项目管理与战略投资伙伴,为北美与欧洲品牌方开发、寻源并生产品牌定制产品。我们管理完整项目流程——设计、寻源、打样、量产、质检、合规与物流,覆盖包装、服装辅料、纺织品、零售展示、派对礼品、宠物用品六大板块,产品线超过500种,服务20多个市场。
Do you only produce paper bags?
你们只生产纸袋吗?
No. Paper bags are just one item in our Packaging division. We also produce rigid and folding boxes, mailers, pouches, labels, retail displays, garment accessories, home textiles, party products, and pet supplies. Brands engage us to manage multiple categories through one contact instead of coordinating separate factories. If a product sits outside our standard range, our sourcing team will tell you honestly whether we can support it.
不是。纸袋只是包装板块中的一个单品。我们同时生产精品盒与折叠盒、邮寄包装、软袋、标签、零售展示道具、服装辅料、家纺纺织品、派对用品和宠物用品。品牌客户通过一个对接窗口即可管理多个品类,无需分别协调多家工厂。若您的产品不在我们的标准范围内,寻源团队也会如实告知能否承接,不做勉强承诺。
How does a typical project start?
一个典型项目是怎么开始的?
A project starts with a brief covering product type, dimensions, materials, artwork, target quantity, destination, and timeline. We review feasibility, recommend materials and structures, and issue an itemized quotation, followed by samples for your approval. Once the pre-production sample is signed off and the PO confirmed, we schedule manufacturing, run QC checkpoints, and coordinate shipment. Most inquiries move to a quote within a few business days.
项目从一份需求简报开始,包括产品类型、尺寸、材料、设计文件、目标数量、目的国和时间要求。我们评估可行性,推荐材料与结构,出具分项报价,随后安排打样供客户确认。产前样获批并确认订单后,我们排产、执行各节点质检并协调发货。多数询盘可在数个工作日内转为正式报价。
What is your MOQ?
你们的起订量(MOQ)是多少?
Great Union has no universal MOQ: minimums are set per project and vary by category, material, dimensions, and print process. We accept trial orders and small test runs for launches and market tests, and we scale into high-volume retail programs with tiered pricing. Share your target quantity and specifications and we will quote the minimum that is genuinely viable, rather than forcing a standard threshold onto your product.
Great Union 没有通用的固定起订量:起订量按项目确定,因品类、材料、尺寸和印刷工艺而异。我们接受新品上市与市场测试阶段的试单和小批量订单,也能承接大规模零售订单,并提供阶梯价格。请告知目标数量与规格,我们会报出真正可行的最低量,而不是把统一门槛强加给您的产品。
How long do sampling and production take?
打样和生产需要多长时间?
For standard custom packaging, samples typically take 1–2 weeks; custom structures, new molds, or multi-material products can take 3–5 weeks. Volume production usually runs 3–6 weeks after sample approval and deposit, depending on category, quantity, and finish. These are planning ranges, not guarantees: we confirm a written schedule for every order and flag capacity constraints before you commit, so launch dates stay realistic.
标准定制包装的打样周期通常为1–2周;定制结构、新开模具或多材料组合产品可能需要3–5周。量产一般在样品确认并收到定金后3–6周,具体取决于品类、数量和表面工艺。这些是规划参考而非绝对承诺:每份订单我们都会确认书面排期,并在客户下单前提示产能约束,确保上市时间表切实可行。
Manufacturing, Sourcing & Compliance
制造、寻源与合规
Where are your factories located?
你们的工厂在哪里?
Great Union does not rely on one factory or one country. We coordinate a vetted manufacturing network across mainland China and Southeast Asia, assigning each product to facilities matched on capability, capacity, price, and audit status. This multi-origin structure lets brands compare cost bases and spread tariff or disruption risk. Customers are never locked to a single plant, and we disclose the manufacturing location for each program.
Great Union 不依赖单一工厂或单一国家。我们协调覆盖中国大陆与东南亚的审核制造网络,根据工艺能力、产能、价格和审核状态为每个产品匹配合适工厂。这种多原产地结构让品牌可以比较不同成本基础,分散关税和断供风险。我们不会将客户绑定在某一家工厂,每个项目的实际生产地点都会向客户披露。
Where do your paperboard and other materials come from?
你们的纸板和其他材料从哪里来?
Materials come from qualified mills and converters in China and Southeast Asia, selected per project for grade, weight, print performance, and compliance. We can specify virgin kraft, coated or uncoated paperboard, recycled-content board, and FSC chain-of-custody certified material on request, subject to availability. Mill certificates and material specifications are provided before bulk production, so you know the exact grade and origin of what goes into your product.
材料来自中国与东南亚的合格造纸厂和加工厂,按项目对纸种、克重、印刷表现和合规性进行筛选。我们可按需指定原生牛皮纸、涂布或未涂布纸板、含再生浆纸板,以及 FSC 产销监管链认证材料(视供应情况而定)。量产前提供纸厂证书与材料规格,让客户清楚掌握投入产品的确切纸种、等级与来源。
Can your factories pass third-party audits?
你们的工厂能通过第三方验厂吗?
Yes. We match programs to facilities that support third-party audits, including quality audits such as ISO 9001 and social-compliance audits such as Sedex SMETA or BSCI, plus brand-specific and retailer-required audits. Not every facility holds every certificate, so we confirm audit status against your requirements before nomination and share available reports under NDA. If a gap exists, we discuss corrective action or an alternative facility.
可以。我们为项目匹配支持第三方审核的工厂,包括 ISO 9001 等质量体系审核、Sedex SMETA 或 BSCI 等社会责任审核,以及品牌方或零售商指定的专项审核。并非每家工厂都持有全部证书,因此我们会在指定工厂前,对照客户要求核实验厂状态,并在保密协议下提供可分享的审核报告。若存在差距,我们会协商整改方案或改选其他工厂。
Is your packaging safe for food contact?
你们的包装用于食品接触安全吗?
Yes — food-contact packaging can be engineered and tested for the markets you sell in. We coordinate testing through accredited laboratories against US FDA 21 CFR requirements and EU Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004, providing declarations and test reports before shipment. From August 12, 2026, the EU PPWR also restricts PFAS in food-contact packaging; we specify PFAS-compliant materials for EU-bound programs and document the supply chain accordingly.
可以——食品接触包装可按客户销售市场的要求进行设计与测试。我们协调认可实验室,依据美国 FDA 21 CFR 要求和欧盟 (EC) No 1935/2004 法规完成测试,并在出货前提供符合性声明与测试报告。自2026年8月12日起,欧盟 PPWR 对食品接触包装中的 PFAS(全氟和多氟烷基物质)实施限制;输欧项目我们会指定符合 PFAS 要求的材料,并保留相应供应链文件。
How do you support PPWR, FSC, and ESG requirements?
你们如何支持 PPWR、FSC 和 ESG 要求?
We treat compliance as a design input. The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (EU) 2025/40 applies from August 12, 2026, covering recyclability design, PFAS and heavy-metal restrictions, recycled content, and labeling; we advise on material choices and documentation for EU shipments. FSC-certified material is available on request, and ESG support covers responsible sourcing, supplier codes of conduct, recycled content, and lower-impact freight. We never claim certifications a specific order does not carry.
我们把合规作为设计阶段的输入条件。欧盟《包装和包装废弃物法规》(EU) 2025/40 自2026年8月12日起适用,涉及可回收设计、PFAS 与重金属限制、再生材料含量和标签要求;针对输欧订单,我们会就材料选择与所需文件提供建议。FSC 认证材料可按需提供;ESG 支持涵盖负责任寻源、供应商行为准则、再生成分和更低环境影响的运输方案。任何具体订单未取得的认证,我们绝不虚假宣称。
Orders, Pricing & Logistics
订单、报价与物流
How do you calculate pricing?
你们是怎么计算价格的?
Pricing is built from verifiable cost drivers: dimensions, material grade and weight, print method and number of colors, surface finishes, tooling or plates, quantity, and packing requirements. Every quote is itemized so you can see material, conversion, print, and logistics components. Unit prices fall as volumes rise, and quotes are in USD, with other currencies available on request. For accurate figures, provide a spec sheet, artwork, and target quantity; budgetary estimates can be made from sketches.
报价基于可核查的成本构成:尺寸、材料等级与克重、印刷方式与色数、表面工艺、模具或印版、数量以及包装要求。每份报价均分项列明,客户可清楚看到材料、加工、印刷和物流各部分成本。单价随订购量递增而下调,默认以美元报价,其他币种可按需安排。若需精确价格,请提供规格表、设计文件和目标数量;仅有草图时,我们也可给出预算级估算。
What payment terms and methods do you accept?
你们接受哪些付款方式和账期?
Standard terms are bank wire transfer (T/T), usually with a deposit to confirm production and the balance before shipment, or an irrevocable letter of credit (L/C) for qualifying orders. Open-account or extended net terms are not offered at the outset; they are reviewed for established partners with consistent order history and credit references. All payment terms appear on the pro forma invoice and are agreed before production begins.
标准付款方式为银行电汇(T/T),通常以定金确认生产、出货前付清尾款;符合条件的订单也可接受不可撤销信用证(L/C)。合作初期不提供赊销或延长账期;对于有稳定订单记录和信用背书的长期伙伴,可另行评估。所有付款条件都会列在形式发票上,并在量产开始前由双方确认。
Which Incoterms and shipping options do you support?
你们支持哪些贸易术语和运输方式?
We ship under FOB as standard and regularly arrange CIF, CIP, DAP, and DDP shipments based on your needs. For ocean freight we optimize carton dimensions and container loading to cut per-unit cost; air freight and express courier are available for samples or urgent top-ups. We handle booking, documentation, and shipment tracking and can route to the ports or airports you nominate. Final Incoterms are confirmed on each order and invoice.
我们默认按 FOB 条款出货,并可根据客户需要安排 CIF、CIP、DAP、DDP 等条款。海运方面,我们会优化外箱尺寸与装柜方案以降低单位运费;样品或紧急补货可走空运或国际快递。我们负责订舱、单证和运输节点跟踪,并可按客户指定的海港或空港安排航线。最终适用的贸易术语会在每份订单和发票上确认。
Can you deliver to a US 3PL warehouse?
你们能送货到美国 3PL 仓库吗?
Yes. We routinely coordinate delivery to customer-nominated third-party logistics (3PL) warehouses in the United States, including West Coast facilities such as Southern California. We can apply your carton labels, palletization rules, labeling or ASN requirements, and delivery appointments so goods are received without chargebacks. Whether the order moves FOB, CIF, or DDP, we align packaging and documentation with your warehouse receiving guide before the goods leave the factory.
可以。我们经常协调配送至客户指定的美国第三方物流(3PL)仓库,包括南加州等西海岸仓储设施。我们可按客户要求加贴外箱标签、执行打托规范、满足 ASN 或标签要求并预约送货时间,避免到仓后产生拒收或罚金。无论订单按 FOB、CIF 还是 DDP 执行,货物离厂前,包装与单证都会与仓库的收货指南逐项对齐。
How are tariffs and country of origin handled?
关税和原产地是怎么处理的?
Country of origin is determined by where substantial manufacturing actually takes place within our China or Southeast Asia network, and we issue the correct commercial documents, including certificates of origin where applicable. We can split or relocate production across origins to help manage duty exposure, subject to each product's real transformation rules. Importers remain responsible for HS classification and duty payment; we provide full specifications to make those filings accurate.
原产地依据产品在中国或东南亚网络中发生实质性制造的实际地点确定,我们据此出具正确的商业单证,包括在适用时提供原产地证书。在符合产品实质性改变规则的前提下,我们可以在不同原产地之间拆分或转移生产,帮助客户管理关税成本。HS 编码归类与关税缴纳仍由进口方负责,我们会提供完整产品规格,支持客户准确申报。
Strategy & Partnership
战略与合作
What does co-investment actually mean?
共投具体是什么意思?
Co-investment means Great Union can put capital alongside a brand, not just supply it. Depending on the opportunity, this may cover tooling and molds, seasonal inventory, joint product development, or, for select partners, deeper strategic investment. Each case is assessed on strategy, financials, and alignment, with terms agreed under NDA. The goal is shared growth: we commit resources where a long-term program gives both sides a clear return.
共投意味着 Great Union 不仅向品牌供货,还可以与品牌共同投入资本。根据项目机会,投入形式可包括模具与工装、季节性库存、联合产品开发;对精选伙伴,还可考虑更深度的战略投资。每个项目都会从战略、财务和双方契合度进行评估,条款在保密协议下确定。目标是共同增长:只有长期项目能为双方带来清晰回报时,我们才会投入资源。
What does your digital platform do?
你们的数字平台是做什么的?
Our digital platform gives brands visibility and control across the supply chain: approved specifications and artwork live in one place, orders and production milestones can be tracked, QC reports and compliance documents are accessible on demand, and reorders reuse confirmed specs instead of starting from zero. This reduces version errors, shortens repeat-order cycles, and keeps procurement, design, and logistics teams aligned. Access and workflow are configured around how each brand operates.
我们的数字平台让品牌对供应链全程可见、可控:已确认的规格与设计文件集中存放,订单与生产节点可实时跟踪,质检报告与合规文件可随时调阅,返单直接沿用已确认规格而非从零开始。这能减少版本差错、缩短返单周期,并让采购、设计与物流团队保持协同。账号权限与工作流程会根据每个品牌的实际运作方式进行配置。
How do we become a long-term partner?
如何成为长期合作伙伴?
Long-term partnerships are built through consistent execution: we start with one or a few programs, prove quality, communication, and delivery, then consolidate more categories and planning cycles. Partners gain priority capacity, earlier material and price visibility, joint forecasting, and access to co-investment. We review performance and goals on a regular schedule instead of renegotiating order by order. Brands that want a supply chain team embedded in their growth, rather than another vendor, are the best fit.
长期合作建立在稳定交付之上:通常从一个或少数项目开始,在质量、沟通和交期得到验证后,再逐步整合更多品类和规划周期。合作伙伴可获得优先产能、更早的材料与价格信息、联合预测以及共投资格。我们会按固定节奏复盘业绩与目标,而不是逐单重新谈判。如果品牌希望供应链团队深度嵌入自身增长,而不只是多一个供应商,那正是我们最契合的客户类型。
Why choose Great Union instead of a trading company or a single factory?
为什么选择 Great Union,而不是贸易公司或单一工厂?
A single factory sells its own capacity; a typical trading company brokers orders. Great Union acts as your supply chain project manager: we stay factory-neutral, audit and compare facilities across China and Southeast Asia, manage design and compliance, run QC, optimize logistics, and can co-invest. You get multi-category coverage, 500+ product lines, and one accountable team from concept to delivery, with the freedom to move production between origins without changing partners.
单一工厂只能销售自家产能,普通贸易公司主要做订单撮合。Great Union 扮演的是客户的供应链项目经理:我们保持工厂中立,审核并比较中国与东南亚的工厂,管理设计与合规、执行质检、优化物流,并且可以共同投资。客户获得的是多品类覆盖、500多种产品线和一个从概念到交付全程负责的团队,同时保留在不同原产地之间调整生产的自由,无需更换合作伙伴。
