Standard Engagement Process
1. Requirement Definition
We clarify material preference, intended use case (disposable vs. reusable), and volume constraints.
2. Digital Proofing & Sampling
Digital mockups provided within 48 hours. Physical samples sent via overnight courier for stakeholder sign-off.
3. Production & QC
Mass production begins upon deposit. Third-party or internal QC inspections conducted before packing.
4. Logistics & Clearance
We handle freight forwarding and MPI biosecurity clearance documentation.
5. Final Delivery
Goods delivered to your specified NZ warehouse or distribution center.
Common Pitfall: Sampling Time
NZ clients often underestimate the time required for physical custom samples (10-14 days). We recommend using digital proofs for initial internal approvals to accelerate the timeline.
Compliance & Reality Check
Biosecurity Risks
Importing plant-based products (bamboo, wood) carries strict MPI requirements. Improperly treated or documented shipments can be fumigated (damaging the product) or destroyed at the border. We ensure all necessary phytosanitary certificates are in place.
Food Safety Standards
Our products are tested to meet international food contact safety standards (FDA/LFGB). We can provide test reports to satisfy your internal health and safety compliance requirements.
Typical Procurement Scenarios
Corporate Offices
Replacing single-use plastic in staff kitchens with branded, reusable bamboo or wheat straw sets to align with ESG goals.
Event Management
Sourcing high-volume, compostable birchwood cutlery for festivals, conferences, and large-scale catering events.
Retail & Gifting
Creating premium, custom-packaged travel cutlery sets as corporate gifts or retail merchandise.
