In artificial flower export, the same questions come up almost every day. Some buyers open with price; others ask for a catalog first; some send a photo of a wedding setup and ask if we can make it. None of it is complicated — first-time buyers just tend to take the long way around. Here are the questions we hear most at Tianjin Shuangcun, written down to help you plan your purchase.
1. Do you make artificial flowers or silk flowers?
Different names, much the same product. We mainly produce silk flowers, artificial flowers and simulated botanicals, supplied to wholesalers, wedding planners, hotels and home-decor buyers.
2. How is pricing calculated?
There is no fixed price list for artificial flowers. For the same bloom, the cost varies widely with head size, fabric, petal layers, dyeing, stem and packaging. Send us a photo or a sample and we will quote against your intended use.
3. Is there a minimum order quantity?
Yes. Standard items carry a lower MOQ; custom color, shape or packaging raises it. The exact number depends on the style, so we confirm per product rather than quote one blanket figure.
4. Can you customize from our design?
Yes. We work from photos, samples or hand sketches. We first assess feasibility, then produce a prototype. Sampling takes time and carries a fee, which can be offset against the bulk order.
5. What is the lead time?
Stock items ship fast. Custom orders usually run 15–30 days, longer in peak season. If you are targeting Valentine's Day, Mother's Day or Christmas, plan two to three months ahead.
6. Will the packaging get crushed?
Artificial flowers hate pressure. Our export packing is matched to each flower type — dividers for some, head protection for others. We also plan container loading so goods arrive at port without deformation.
7. Will the colors fade?
Used indoors and kept out of prolonged direct sun, they last a long time. Outdoor sun exposure accelerates fading. If your project is outdoor, tell us upfront and we will recommend a more suitable material.
8. How are export certifications handled?
It depends on the destination and the buyer's requirements. We cooperate by providing the relevant documentation, but the latest regulations are set locally — we won't make promises we can't back.
9. How do we start working together?
Send us your intended use, quantity, style and target market — photos are best. We then quote, ship samples, confirm the sample, take the order, produce, inspect and ship. Clear communication up front makes everything downstream smooth.
