Clear material specifications, complete accessories and appropriate packaging help buyers evaluate a toy beyond its catalogue photo. For a wholesale order, collect evidence for the exact model and retail pack you intend to purchase.
A material name describes part of the product. Request the full component breakdown, including coatings, fabric, electronic parts and packaging where relevant. Match it to the sample and final specification.
| Current catalogue example | Listed material | Questions for the sample review |
|---|---|---|
| 23-piece rainbow stacking tower | PP | Are piece sizes, surface finish and contents consistent with the sample? |
| 2-piece pull-back car set | ABS | Do the wheels and pull-back mechanisms operate as demonstrated? |
| 15-piece pretend tea set | Tinplate | Does the accessory list, printed artwork and storage case match the order? |
| Paint-your-own tea set | Ceramic | What protection is provided for the pieces and painting accessories? |
If your range requires recycled content, a stated recycling route or another environmental attribute, ask what the claim covers and what supporting information is available. Distinguish the toy, retail packaging and export carton in the supplier's answer. A PP or ABS material label alone does not establish the environmental performance of the complete product.
Discuss packaging alternatives using the actual product and destination requirements. Ask how an alternative pack changes protection, dimensions, materials, MOQ and price before selecting it.
Request the model's care instructions and confirm how accessories are counted and stored. For electronic or plush products, ask about cleaning instructions and access to batteries or removable components. Ask whether replacement parts can be ordered; availability varies by model.
Record retail units per carton, carton dimensions and gross/net weights. Calculate carton volume from length × width × height in metres. Compare offers using the same number of complete retail units so a smaller carton is not mistaken for the same quantity of goods.
Confirm sample approval, the final component list, packaging artwork and applicable model-specific documents before placing the bulk order.
