Vietrustic wholesale handicraft order FAQs

Vietrustic products are made in Vietnam. Our main factory in Kim Son, Ninh Binh, specializes in seagrass and water hyacinth products.

Our satellite factory in Chuong My, Hanoi, supports bamboo and rattan production.

Seagrass, water hyacinth, rattan and bamboo are plant-derived materials. Finished products may also contain metal frames, wood, fabric, glue, coatings or other supporting components.

The full material composition is confirmed in the product specification.

Our main materials include seagrass, water hyacinth, rattan and bamboo. Seagrass is the common export term for the locally grown sedge used in our products.

Our main product categories include:

  • Storage and laundry baskets
  • Serving and decorative trays
  • Placemats and coasters
  • Lampshades and lanterns
  • Rugs and floor mats
  • Wall mirrors
  • Vases and decorative accessories

Available materials and construction depend on the design and intended use.

Yes. We support OEM, ODM and custom product development for importers, wholesalers, retailers and hospitality buyers.

Customization may include:

  • Product dimensions and shapes
  • Weaving patterns
  • Natural or custom colors
  • Frames, handles and liners
  • Product labels and hangtags
  • Barcodes and carton markings
  • Private-label and retail packaging

Each request remains subject to technical review, material availability and sample approval.

Yes. Vietrustic can sign a mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement before reviewing confidential product information.

The agreement should identify the protected designs, permitted use, responsible parties and confidentiality period. Final terms must be accepted by both parties in writing.

Yes. We prepare samples so buyers can review the dimensions, construction, materials, color, weaving and finish before placing a production order.

Sample charges and courier costs are confirmed before development begins. A sample charge may be credited against the first production order only when this condition appears in our written quotation.

Mass production begins after the buyer approves the final sample and written product specification.

Standard samples usually take 7–14 days after the design, materials, dimensions, colors and sample charges have been confirmed.

Complex structures, custom molds, special colors or new materials may require more time. The expected sample schedule will be confirmed before development begins.

MOQ depends on the product, dimensions, material, color, construction and packaging requirements. It may also vary by design, size and color.

For selected standard designs or trial orders, Vietrustic may consider an MOQ of 50–100 units per design or SKU.

This quantity does not apply automatically to every product. Complex designs, custom colors, new molds or special packaging may require a higher MOQ.

Please provide the required quantity for each design, size and color. We will review the options and confirm the applicable MOQ in our quotation.

Mass production usually requires at least 35 days.

The production period starts after:

  • The final sample has been approved
  • Product specifications have been confirmed
  • Materials and colors have been approved
  • Labels and packaging have been approved
  • The agreed payment milestone has been completed

Large orders, multiple SKUs, custom colors, complex structures or special packaging may require more time.

The confirmed schedule will appear in our quotation or proforma invoice. Production lead time does not include international transit time unless confirmed otherwise in writing.

Yes. If the buyer provides no special instructions, we select a packing method based on the product and shipping conditions.

Standard options may include:

  • Five-ply export cartons
  • Kraft paper
  • PE inner bags
  • Silica-gel desiccants
  • Inner protective materials

The final method depends on the material, product structure, destination and shipping conditions.

Custom packaging may include:

  • Individual product boxes
  • Private-label hangtags
  • Product and care labels
  • Barcode labels
  • Custom inner protection
  • Printed carton markings

Final packaging specifications and costs must be approved before production.

We inspect products against the buyer-approved sample and written purchase specification.

Our quality-control process uses an AQL-based sampling inspection method. This method determines the sample size and acceptable quality limits for each production lot.

Inspection points may include:

  • Dimensions and agreed tolerances
  • Shape and structural stability
  • Weaving consistency
  • Surface finish and cleanliness
  • Color and overall appearance
  • Frame, handle and accessory condition
  • Agreed moisture requirements
  • Labels, barcodes and carton markings
  • Inner and outer packaging

The inspection level, sample size and AQL limits for critical, major and minor defects must be agreed in the order's quality-control requirements.

If the buyer has no specified inspection standard, Vietrustic can propose an AQL plan for approval before the inspection.

AQL is a sampling method. It does not mean that every unit is inspected or that a shipment will contain no defects. Any item requiring 100% inspection must be identified separately before production.

Natural fibers can absorb moisture from the surrounding environment. We review drying, moisture checks, inner packing, desiccants and carton requirements for each order.

Where an agreed moisture range of 12–14% applies, products are checked before packing.

The final moisture limit depends on the material, product structure, destination, shipping season, transit time and buyer specification.

These measures reduce moisture-related risk. They do not make a product mold-proof under every storage or shipping condition.

Our Kim Son factory has completed an amfori BSCI social-compliance audit. Its quality management system is certified to ISO 9001:2015.

Current documents can be shared with qualified buyers upon request, subject to document-sharing terms. Audit and certificate validity follows the information shown in the current records.

ISO 9001:2015 applies to the quality management system. It does not certify individual products.

Testing requirements vary by product, material, intended use and destination market.

Buyers should provide the required standard or test protocol during the quotation stage.

Order-specific requests may include:

  • Chemical testing
  • Food-contact testing
  • Electrical compliance
  • FSC documentation
  • Coating or finish testing
  • Market-specific import requirements

UL, CE, FSC, non-toxic and food-safe claims are not applied automatically. Document availability, testing costs and lead time must be confirmed for the proposed product and order.
