👥 Who We Are

A TPU-First Manufacturer Built Around Real Collector Problems

Most card-protection suppliers sell standard part numbers. Foamgrid sells card safety. Our 6-strong engineering bench starts every project with a question — "What does a perfect Magnetic Holder feel like when a collector snaps it shut?" — then designs the tooling to deliver it, not the other way around.

From our 10,000+ sqm Gaobu plant we injection-mould, ultrasonic-weld, print and pack every unit in-house. There is no trader between you and the production line; every Shore-A hardness reading, every clarity test, every drop test is signed off by people on our payroll. That is the only way we know how to back a 12-month quality warranty without flinching.

❓ B2B Buyer FAQ

Questions Procurement Managers Ask Us

Real questions from distributors, Amazon sellers, grading houses and TCG publishers — answered straight, no marketing fluff.

1Can we visit or video-audit your factory before placing the first order?+
Absolutely. Most international buyers do exactly that. We host on-site audits at our 10,000㎡ Gaobu facility any working day — pickup from Shenzhen or Guangzhou airport included. For remote buyers, our team runs a live walk-through on WhatsApp video covering injection, welding, printing, assembly and the QC lab. Independent third-party audits by SGS / BV / TÜV are also welcome at your cost.
2Do you provide OEM / private-label production for distributors?+
Yes — roughly 60% of our annual output ships under partner brands. We support custom Pantone colours, embossed or silk-screen logos, distributor-branded retail packaging, neutral commercial invoices for drop-ship, and bilingual product inserts printed with your logo. Bilateral NDA available before disclosing your spec or BOM.
3What payment terms work for first-time buyers vs repeat distributors?+
First-time buyers typically work on 30% T/T deposit + 70% balance against BL copy. We accept L/C at sight for orders above USD 30,000, Alibaba Trade Assurance for added protection, and PayPal / Alipay for sample orders. Repeat distributors with 12+ months of history can apply for O/A 30–60 day terms.
4Can you provide compliance reports for Amazon, EU or Japan retail?+
Yes. Every SKU receives a compliance pack including REACH SVHC statement, RoHS test report, CE self-declaration, MSDS and CPSIA statement where applicable. Amazon SDS is issued in the exact format required by Seller Central Compliance. Custom test reports available on request.
5How do you handle damage in transit or short-shipment claims?+
Open every carton on arrival with photo evidence and our packing list in hand. Report damage / shortage within 7 days of port arrival and we re-supply free of charge — air freight at our cost for urgent items, sea freight bundled with your next order otherwise. Our packing standard achieves <0.3% in-transit damage across 35 markets.
6Are container loading plans and CBM utilisation rates available before booking?+
Yes — every quotation comes with a 3D container loading diagram showing 20GP and 40HQ options, CBM utilisation %, gross weight and stuffing sequence. Our average loading factor is 94% volumetric — significantly above industry norm — which lowers your $/unit landed cost.
7Do you offer distributor exclusivity for a country or region?+
We grant country or regional exclusivity to partners who commit to annual minimum volumes, hold local stocking inventory and provide first-line technical support to end users. Exclusivity is reviewed annually against KPI performance. Current open territories include parts of LATAM, Africa and Eastern Europe.
8How do you protect our design IP and mould exclusivity?+
We sign bilateral NDA + Mould Exclusivity Agreement before any tooling starts. Customer-invested moulds are physically tagged, stored in a dedicated zone and never used for third-party orders. Design files stay on our internal encrypted server — no cloud upload, no external contractor access.
9How is your pricing competitive vs other Chinese card protection factories?+
Three structural reasons: (1) we own the plant outright, so no trader margin sits between you and production cost; (2) 15 injection lines in parallel drive fixed-cost absorption way down; (3) bulk TPU procurement direct from Kesichuang (Covestro) buffers you from spot-price spikes. Net: distributor margin headroom of 35–50% in most categories.
10Can you support large multi-SKU rollouts across multiple product lines?+
Yes — multi-SKU rollouts are a strength. We dedicate a project manager, lock the design template across the entire product family, and ship phase-by-phase to your launch schedule. Recent examples include a 15-SKU Magnetic Holder line for a European TCG distributor and a 20-SKU Toploader family for a US Amazon aggregator.
