Introduction
In a growing global wellness market filled with countless factories and trading companies, choosing the right supplier for recovery equipment—like compression boots, ice bath tubs, or steam saunas—can define your brand’s success or failure.
Whether you’re launching a private label or scaling your distribution network, here’s a proven 7-step checklist that B2B buyers should follow to avoid missteps, delays, and costly product failures.
1. Define Product Requirements Early
Before requesting quotes, clarify your specific needs:
- Target user (athletes, rehab clinics, home users)
- Technical specifications (pressure range, tent size, power settings)
- Country requirements (plug type, voltage, certifications like CE/FCC)
- Branding needs (OEM logo, custom packaging, manual language)
💡 Pro Tip: The clearer your brief, the more accurate your sample and quotation will be.
2. Evaluate Factory Capabilities
Not all suppliers who “look good online” actually manufacture their products. Always ask:
- Are they a manufacturer or trading company?
- Can they show real photos or video tours of their factory?
- Do they have in-house QC, R&D, or tooling capabilities?
A real factory partner means greater control over quality, lead time, and scalability.
3. Check Compliance and Certifications
For any electrical or pressure-based recovery device, you must ensure:
- CE, EMC, FCC, or region-specific safety certifications
- RoHS compliance for environmental standards
- Test reports for pressure systems, heating units, or water tanks
- Proper warranty coverage (typically 6–12 months minimum)
🚫 Avoid factories that delay or cannot produce basic documentation.
4. Confirm MOQ, Lead Time & Sample Process
A good supplier should:
- Offer reasonable MOQs (50–100 units for OEM products)
- Deliver samples within 5–10 working days
- Be transparent about bulk lead time (usually 30–45 days)
- Provide realistic ETD & shipping plans (FOB/CIF/EXW)
Bonus: Some suppliers (like Kynorex) offer sample cost refunds upon order confirmation.
5. Assess OEM/ODM Support
For brand building, you’ll likely need:
- Custom logo placement (screen printing, embroidery, label tags)
- Control panel UI customization or multi-language support
- Packaging & instruction manual design
- Optional add-ons like branded carry bags or accessories
Choose a supplier with flexible design support and low minimums for personalization.
6. Evaluate Communication & Technical Responsiveness
- How fast and clearly do they reply?
- Do they understand your business model (distributor, DTC brand, clinic chain)?
- Can they explain technical specs in business-friendly language?
A great product doesn’t matter if the supplier is unresponsive or unclear—especially under pressure.
7. Ask for References or Case Studies
A reputable B2B supplier should be able to provide:
- Testimonials from global buyers
- Case studies of similar product lines
- Examples of successful custom branding projects
- Clients in your region or industry niche
