How to Choose a Manufacturer Without Becoming a Compliance Expert

10 Questions to Ask Before You Scale

1. Can you support an ASTM E84 pathway or reports for our target material systems?

2. What is your low-emissions/low-VOC documentation posture for commercial buyers?

3. What is your Prop 65 support posture (screening, declarations, warning readiness)?

4. How do you control batch-to-batch color consistency?

5. What is your physical sample workflow and sign-off process?

6. Can you support removable, rental-friendly installs with clean removal?

7. Do you support OEM/private label packaging and brand protection?

8. Can you do small-batch customization without punishing unit economics?

9. Can you support FBA, FBM (Fulfilled by Merchant), and dropship workflows?

10. If something goes wrong, can you trace it to a batch and correct it fast?

Where RunpWell Decor Fits (Naturally)

Many sellers don’t want “another vendor.” They want a system that makes compliance, QC, and fulfillment predictable—so they can focus on marketing and growth.

What Sellers Typically Look For (and What RunpWell Supports)

• Low or zero MOQ to test designs without inventory risk.

• Fast sampling (often 48–72 hours for decision-making).

• Stable production cycles (commonly 15–30 days depending on specs).

• Channel-friendly logistics support (FBA prep, FBM shipping workflows, dropshipping).

• Customization and brand protection (OEM/ODM, packaging, consistent specs).

• Return-reduction tech options like AirLiftGO™ removable adhesive, AlignixUP™ pattern alignment (±1% seam accuracy), and NoFadeXUV™ color consistency controls.

• Multiple printing routes: UV printing, gravure printing, water-based printing.
