Wholesale & OEM Flag Program for Importers and Distributors | Flags Factory

Sourcing flags at scale is a different job from buying a single banner. Importers and distributors need a supplier who can hold a spec across repeat orders, print your own branding instead of theirs, and hand off documentation that clears customs without drama. The Flags Factory wholesale and OEM program is built around exactly that: production runs of national flags, custom flags, and banner products, manufactured in Weifang, Shandong, China, and shipped to your warehouse or your customers.

Who the Program Is Built For

The program serves two broad groups:

• Importers buying container or pallet volumes for resale into retail, promotional, or institutional channels.
• Distributors and wholesalers who need a reliable production partner behind their own catalog and brand identity.

It also suits promotional product agencies, event suppliers, and online sellers who want to move from buying stock to controlling their own product line.

What You Can Source Through the Program

Both tracks draw on the same production capabilities, so you are not limited to a single product family:

• National and regional flags in standard sizes
• Custom flags with your artwork, logo, or campaign design
• Advertising flags and feather banners for retail and events
• Handheld flags, desk flags, and bunting
• Custom banners, including hanging and wall-mounted formats

Materials and construction are matched to the end use — indoor display, outdoor mounting, or high-traffic event use — and confirmed with you before production.

How the Wholesale Track Works

Wholesale is the straightforward path. You select from existing product formats, confirm sizes, quantities, and finishing options, and receive a quotation based on those specifications. Pricing is volume-based: the quote you receive reflects the quantity, material, and finishing you have asked for, and it is issued in writing before any order is placed.

Wholesale works well for distributors who want to test demand before committing to a branded line, or for buyers who prefer to keep their supplier relationship behind the scenes.

How the OEM and Private-Label Track Works

OEM is where the program becomes a product-development service rather than a purchase. Instead of buying what exists, you define what you want to sell.

Custom specifications

You set the dimensions, fabric type, edge finishing, heading style (sleeve, grommets, ties, or pole loops), and print method. We confirm what is practical for your design and quantity, and flag any specification that would create problems in production before the order is finalized.

Your branding, not ours

Private-label orders ship without Flags Factory branding. Your logo, care instructions, and product information appear on the label and packaging. If you supply retail-ready packaging artwork, it is produced to your files.

Artwork handling

Send artwork in a vector format where possible. If your available file is a raster image, we will tell you what can realistically be reproduced at your target size rather than promising an outcome the source file cannot support. A digital proof is issued for your approval before production begins.

The Order Workflow, Step by Step

• 1. Inquiry. Share your product type, sizes, quantities, finishing, and target timing.
• 2. Specification review. We confirm feasibility, suggest alternatives where useful, and identify anything that needs a decision.
• 3. Quotation. You receive written pricing and lead time for the confirmed specification.
• 4. Sampling. A pre-production sample can be arranged for OEM projects so you can approve construction, print, and packaging.
• 5. Production. Once the sample or proof is approved and the order is confirmed, the run is scheduled.
• 6. Inspection and packing. Goods are checked and packed to the agreed configuration — bulk, poly-bagged, or retail-ready.
• 7. Shipping. Export documentation is prepared and the shipment moves by your preferred method.

Packaging and Retail-Ready Options

Packing configuration matters as much as the flag itself. Bulk cartons suit distributors filling their own orders. Individually poly-bagged and labeled units suit resellers shipping direct. Custom header cards, hang tags, and barcodes can be applied where your channel requires them. If you sell through marketplaces, tell us early — packaging requirements are easier to build in than to retrofit.

Shipping, Documentation, and Logistics

Orders ship from China by sea, air, or express courier, depending on volume and timing. We prepare commercial invoices, packing lists, and the export documentation your customs broker needs. Shipments can be consolidated for mixed-product orders, and you can nominate your own freight forwarder if you already have one. For repeat buyers, keeping the same packing and labeling spec across shipments keeps receiving simple at your end.

Pricing, Payment, and Reorders

Pricing is quoted per project rather than pulled from a fixed list, because material, size, finishing, and quantity all move the number. Once a specification is set, reorders follow the same spec, which keeps the buying process short and the product consistent. Payment terms are confirmed with your quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer both wholesale and OEM from the same account?

Yes. Many distributors start with wholesale to test a market, then move into OEM once they have a product line to protect.

Can I start small and scale?

Minimum order quantities vary by product and are confirmed in your quotation. Sampling is the usual way to validate a design before committing to a larger run.

Will my customers see Flags Factory branding?

Not on private-label orders. Labels and packaging carry your brand.

Getting Started

To open a wholesale or OEM conversation, send your product list or artwork, target sizes and quantities, packaging requirements, and required delivery window. You will receive a specification review and a written quotation, and from there you can decide whether to sample, place a trial order, or move directly into production.
