Buying diapers in bulk sounds simple—but if you’re planning to order for your business, whether as a distributor, retailer, or private label brand, there’s more to consider than just the price.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through what really matters when making a bulk diaper purchase, especially when sourcing from overseas manufacturers like us in Dongguan, China. Our goal is to help you make a smart, profitable, and reliable choice.
📦 1. Don’t Just Look at Price Per Diaper
The cheapest price doesn’t always mean the best deal.
When comparing offers, consider:
The total cost, including shipping and duties
Packing quantity per bag or carton
Hidden costs like poor quality or customer returns
👉 Ask the supplier: “Is this the final landed cost, or are there extra charges later?”
📉 2. Understand the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)
Some factories require you to order a full container, while others offer lower MOQs—especially for new brands.
Before placing an order, ask:
What’s the minimum quantity for standard packaging?
What’s the MOQ for custom packaging with your brand?
Can you start with a trial order?
✅ A factory that supports small batches can help reduce your risk.
🧴 3. Make Sure the Quality Matches Your Market
Even if two diapers look similar, the quality inside can vary.
Check:
How well the diaper absorbs liquid
If the material is soft and gentle on skin
Whether it is leak-proof, especially for overnight use
Requesting samples before bulk ordering is always a smart move.
📦 4. Consider the Packaging Options
Good packaging protects the product—and helps it sell.
You should ask:
Can the factory help design your logo and packaging?
Do they offer both single packs and multi-packs?
Can they meet your language and labeling needs?
If you plan to sell under your own brand, clear packaging support is essential.
⏱ 5. Ask About Delivery Time and Flexibility
Bulk orders don’t arrive overnight. Timely delivery matters for your sales.
Make sure you know:
How long production takes
When the next shipment can be ready
If the factory can handle urgent orders during busy seasons
Also ask what delivery methods they support: by sea, air, or even to your warehouse.
🧭 6. Choose a Supplier Who Supports You, Not Just Sells
A long-term business partner does more than ship products.
Look for a diaper supplier who:
Offers clear communication
Provides after-sales support
Has experience exporting to your country
Can help if you need to adjust your next order
Your success is their success. Choose a team that understands that.
