Puffy Sticker Wholesale — Mixed-Carton vs Whole-Design for E-commerce & Toy Wholesalers

When to use which wholesale model

• Mixed carton (30-50 random designs, 500-1,000 pcs/box): new-product testing, C-end e-commerce small batches, cross-border listing tests
• Whole-design (≥2,000 pcs/design, 5-10 designs can be combined): holiday volume, hit-design restock, brand-owner set production

Tiered wholesale pricing and MOQ

Mixed-carton wholesale: MOQ 500 bags (30-50 pcs/bag), US$0.05-0.10/pc FOB Shenzhen. Whole-design: MOQ 2,000/design, US$0.04-0.08/pc; 5,000 -5%; 10,000 -10%; 20,000+ by annual agreement. Combined orders (multiple designs in one batch) use the total-piece tier. Default packaging: loose sheets + OPP self-seal bags (mixed-carton standard), printed logo header + OPP bag (private label), shrink-wrap full sheet on pallets (export). Adhesive by use: removable (kids/dress-up

Certifications and shipping for cross-border sellers

• Amazon US: CPSC + ASTM F963 + CPSIA reports (children's products) — required for Listing uploads
• Amazon EU: EN71-1/2/3 + REACH (chemical restrictions) — CE mark only for certain categories
• Shopee SEA: ASTM F963 or EN71-3 either one — relatively relaxed
• Temu global: separate filings for EU/US/UK — submit per destination country
• Logistics: FBA inbound weight by size (each piece ~8-15g) — estimate carton dimensions to avoid FBA dim-weight blow-ups

Four common wholesaler pitfalls

• IP leaks in mixed packs: mixed-carton packs can include unlicensed IPs (Ultraman/Disney/Sanrio etc.) — request the IP manifest before ordering
• Thickness shrink: 1.5mm labeled but only 1.0mm actual — never trust low unit prices alone, calculate by gram weight
• Packaging damage: thin OPP bags tear in transit — for export pallets, add 5-ply corrugated outer + bubble wrap
• Slow support: peak-season vanishing support — Yikang commits to 24h inquiry reply + 7-day after-sales response
