How to Find a Toy Manufacturer in China

We are a wholesale supplier working with Chinese factories: 5,233 of them are named across the 385,341 items in our catalogue. That is the scope.

If your requirement is manufacturing inside the European Union or North America — for a label, a tariff position or a lead time — the sorting method on this page still works, but the company at the end of your search will not be us. We would rather say that on the first screen than after your enquiry.

Trade fairs. You meet people and handle the goods, which no screen replaces. The cost is travel, time and preparation, and the season decides when you can go at all.

Online marketplaces. Fastest way to learn that a product exists and roughly what it costs. Full of companies that resell and describe themselves as factories, because the word is not protected.

Sourcing agents. Hands in China, local language, factory visits. Paid a percentage whether the goods turn out right or not — not a criticism, just the incentive you are hiring.

Catalogues that name the factory. The desk version: you see the maker before you contact anyone. Ours names one on every card, which also means a model that sold can be reordered from the same source rather than from something that looks similar.

Three kinds of company will call themselves a factory, and this question separates them in one reply.

The mould owner answers with a list, often with mould numbers. Lowest price on their own items, no flexibility beyond them.

The assembler explains that they buy components and assemble. Flexible on sets and packaging; someone else’s margin is already inside the price.

The trading company redirects to how quickly they can quote. Genuinely useful and fast, and you are paying for the speed.

None of the three is the wrong answer — the wrong thing is not knowing which one you are talking to. Our Shantou factory page goes through this in more detail.

Ask for the product number on the document. A test report tied to a company rather than to an item proves nothing about the item you are buying.

Ask the minimum in pieces, and the carton contents. «Flexible» is not a number.

Ask what changes without a new mould. The answer tells you how much of your own product you can actually have.

And read what is already public. Price per piece and per carton, carton quantity, factory name, and an empty certificate field where nothing was supplied. A company that publishes all four has committed to them.

The catalogue. 385,341 items from 5,233 factories, with the price published per piece and per carton, the carton quantity stated and the factory named on every card. 44,336 items carry at least one test certificate on file from the factory; on the rest the field is shown empty.

The production side. Our manufacturing partner is Yifeng Group (艺丰集团) in Chenghai, Shantou — the toy district officially designated «China Toys and Gifts City». The group has worked in Chenghai since 1992. Its first plant, Shifeng Culture Development Co., Ltd, dates from 1992 and runs more than 35,000 m² of production area with an annual output of USD 60 M; a second site, Huabo Smart Living Technology Co., Ltd, was established in 2018. The group owns its own brands, among them FEIFEITU and BABY SIX.

A laboratory in the same ecosystem. AJT Testing Services Limited, founded in 2007, is a third-party testing laboratory historically linked with the group’s founding family and working in the same Chenghai ecosystem — and the first private laboratory in eastern Guangdong to receive the Chinese national CCC accreditation for toy testing. That is why testing on a specific model can be arranged close to the factory.

The showroom. Yifeng Group (艺丰集团) keeps a permanent 15,000 m² showroom in Shantou with more than 500,000 toy samples on display — goods can be inspected in person before they go into a batch. The full company profile, including audits and accreditations, is on our factory partner page.

Where we sit. Offices in Yiwu and Shantou, a consolidation warehouse in Guangzhou, acceptance inspection by our partner Yifeng at its warehouse in Chenghai with photo and video before cartons are taped, and published transit ranges for 62 destinations.

385,341 items, 5,233 factories named, prices published per piece and per carton, carton quantities stated, and 44,336 items with test documents on file. Open without registration.

The minimum is one factory carton of one model, order total from 2,000 CNY, so a candidate factory can be tested with one carton instead of a production run. That is the cheapest way to find out whether a maker suits you.
