In short: every niche has its specialists, its risks and its rules. Stationery is simple and highly customisable; toys are tightly regulated for children's safety; electronic accessories require safety and compliance testing; sporting goods call for particular attention to durability. Choosing a factory specialised in your category is the first guarantee of quality.
Stationery
Strengths: easy customisation (printing, covers, packaging) and often accessible minimums. Points to watch: paper quality, binding, print durability, and rules on substances for some products (inks, children's items).
Toys
Strengths: a wide range and strong production capacity. Points to watch: toys sold in the EU are subject to strict safety regulations and must carry the CE marking. Small parts, chemical substances, durability, warnings and age ranges: everything must be checked and documented by tests. Tip: only work with factories used to the European market and able to provide test reports.
Electronic accessories
Strengths: a very wide range (chargers, cables, audio, accessories). Points to watch: electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, batteries, hazardous substances: these products fall under several European rules and generally the CE marking. Shipping batteries is also subject to specific rules. Tip: be wary of very low prices, often linked to lower-quality components.
Sports and outdoor
Strengths: highly specialised factories (fitness, camping, cycling, technical textiles). Points to watch: strength and durability, quality of materials, and specific rules for some equipment (protective gear, for example). Tip: test samples in real conditions of use.
The rule common to every niche
- a factory specialised in your category;
- an approved sample;
- your market's rules checked before ordering;
- quality control before shipping.
