SHOPLINK FACTORY NETWORK

Find a Vietnam factory that fits the product — not just a name on a supplier list.

A useful factory match depends on category, process, realistic quantity and the ability to reproduce an approved result. ShopLink organizes manufacturer outreach around the same product brief so supplier responses can be compared instead of collected as unrelated quotes.

Mr.Host turns one sourcing request into a structured comparison of capability, MOQ, sample route, lead time and commercial terms before you choose where to proceed.

Match by category and process

The right supplier for an apparel blank is not automatically the right supplier for cut-and-sew, bags, leather goods or home textiles. Start with the production process the product actually requires.

  • Prefer category specialization over broad claims.
  • Confirm whether work is subcontracted.
  • Check whether the supplier accepts the real first quantity.

Normalize the factory request

Factories answer differently when a brief is vague. One written specification makes price, timing and MOQ comparisons much more meaningful.

  • Use the same material and construction assumptions.
  • Use the same quantity and branding scope.
  • Keep packaging and destination assumptions consistent.

Check MOQ and sample evidence

Minimums can come from fabric, dyeing, labels, packaging or production planning. A sample then shows whether the selected route can actually produce the expected result.

  • Ask MOQ by style and colorway.
  • Version sample corrections.
  • Keep the approved result as the QC reference.

Keep the relationship transparent

A sourcing layer should make the selected manufacturing route understandable rather than hide it. ShopLink publishes an Open Factory Policy describing how factory identity, quotations and representation are handled.

  • Know the manufacturing party for the chosen route.
  • Keep quotations and approvals traceable.
  • Document changes instead of relying on verbal assumptions.

FAQ

Questions before you start

Is the Factory Network just a supplier directory?

No. The useful output is a shortlist matched to a product brief, quantity and manufacturing process rather than a long generic directory.

Does ShopLink own the factories?

No. Physical production is performed by independent suppliers or factories selected for the project.

How should two factory quotes be compared?

Normalize the specification first, then compare MOQ, sample cost, unit price, included work, lead time, payment terms and delivery terms together.

Why is a sample important?

A factory profile is a capability claim; a sample is evidence of what the selected production route actually produces.

Where is the transparency policy?

ShopLink publishes its Open Factory Policy in the Legal Center.
