Factory visit

Use a factory visit to make material decisions clearer, not just to walk through the workshop.

Greenlife welcomes buyers to the Cirebon factory to review PE rattan samples, compare colors and profiles, discuss UV grade, check packing details, and prepare a more repeatable supply plan.

Visit purpose

The best visit has a clear material question

A visit is most useful when buyers need to compare sample strips, review a replacement material, discuss a custom color, or understand whether the factory can support a repeat production program.

The discussion should stay close to practical order details: profile size, surface, color range, UV grade, roll standard, labels, packing, and how the same material will be repeated later.

What to review

Factory visit checklist for synthetic rattan buyers

These points keep the visit focused on decisions that affect sampling, quotation, production, and repeat supply.

Color samples

Compare physical samples for natural, coffee, grey, black, mixed-tone, wood-look, or gradient directions.

Profile options

Review flat, round, half-round, rope, twisted, brushed, and other profiles by size, softness, and surface.

UV grade planning

Discuss whether the material is for indoor, covered outdoor, regular outdoor, or stronger exposure conditions.

QC points

Check how approved samples, profile dimensions, color range, labels, and batch notes are used in production.

Production capability

Understand the Cirebon production base, product range, monthly capacity, and support for repeat orders.

Cooperation plan

Discuss sample timing, order communication, packing needs, and how future programs should be documented.

Visit flow

A simple agenda for a useful factory visit

Buyers do not need a complicated agenda, but the visit should end with clear next steps.

01

Share the buying background

Explain the furniture type, market, exposure condition, old material problem, and expected quantity.

02

Review samples and profiles

Compare physical samples and decide which color, profile, surface, and UV direction should be sampled.

03

Discuss production and packing

Check how the material will be produced, identified, packed, and prepared for the buyer's workshop.

04

Record the next action

Confirm sample request, quotation details, approved references, and any follow-up information needed.

Remote buyers

If you cannot visit, the process can still be made practical

Many buyers manage sourcing from another country. In that case, clear samples, photos, drawings, short videos, pre-shipment photos, and written approval records become more important.

Send the old strip or color board by courier if the order depends on a close match. For repeat supply, keep the item code, approved sample, batch note, and packing method together so the next order does not start from zero.
